|
|
| From a religious stand point, do you think time travel will be possible? Meaning if we could go back in time to the time of Christ, would God allow this? Would the christian outcome be any different? I have often wondered if humans advanced enough to travel through time, would God alow us to do so? Or will God allow us to advance enough to time travel? |

| Our linear conception of time is inaccurate and is due to our limited perspective. |

I'd generally agree with that, but would also like to add that there are individuals walking around...who do not have a linear concept of time.
It brings them all kinds of havoc. |

I too agree. I suppose I am thinking in more of a 1D way, but I was always curious how time travel would effect human society in a religious capacity. Just like how I wondered how discovery of alien life would effect our belief system - especially if the alien is more advanced than we are. :think: |

Perhaps not by humans currently. Maybe in the future? |

I think that is something people really ought to look into. Because the modern paradigm is perfectly set up to be taken advantage of in this capacity. |

But who is to say they haven't already? Would we know it they did?
Or maybe time travel isn't really 'time' travel, but traveling to alternate universes.... |

I guess it would depend on when this person came back and from what time frame he was from...As far as traving to alternate universes that made my mind melt....Sounds neat though.. :lol: |

It is impossible not to travel through time.
We are moving forward through it all the time. At least, seemingly moving forward through it. As I said earlier, time is not really a linear progression.

Time travel, is not only possible, but likely. (see also, matter at the speed of light; Einstein; and relativity). This type of time travel is only unidirectional (one way) of course, but might also add insight into religion and the state of the world. Sadly no one would be able to report their findings to their own time.
As for the illusion of linear time, that is incomprehensible. Time, as human beings experience it, is linear. We are born, we grow old and we die. Yet the very foundation of time itself (earth's revolving) is circular. It's hard to imagine time as anything but linear, yet any value we attribute to these things are from a limited perspective incapable of seeing the whole picture. But, to view time as truly multi-dimensional I would have to accept that the past AND the future affect the present equally. If the truth can not be perceived, is it really truth?
Time is a man made construct, a label for an illusion. |

Surely.
Something is either true or it isn't. It is only our perception of truth that is subjective. Truth, itself, is absolute. |
