User:Dessydes/Space, Time, and Spacetime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title is pretty self-explanatory, right? Well mostly. This is for the most part about time. It contains stuff from a book, stuff I came across from other media, and some of my own thoughts. For some of these reasons, not everything here is suitable for Wikipedia. However, I intend to clearly label whatever comes from my head, as well as any paraphrasings (which I've not yet done, just so you know), and I'm also not going to contribute to any articles on this subject. This is mainly for other users who interested in the subject, those who wish to get a birds-eye third person perspective, and also for me to collect and put down my thoughts on the subject.

Miscellaneous

[edit]

Teleportation is the movement of an object through three dimensional space from one point to another without traversing the space inbetween. Time travel is the movement of an object through the fourth dimension (time) in an abnormal manner, i.e. backward in time, or at an accelerated rate forward in time. Some theories allow for both simultaneously.

Methods of Teleportation

[edit]
  • The Casimir effect - This is a sort of "gateway" theory similar to the Stargate.
  • Entanglement - This is similar to the "transporter" of Star Trek.
  • Worm holes - So named, because the best way to describe in laymen's terms is to think of a worm on an apple. This method has been proposed to travel both time and space. The best example of this is in Sliders.
