Thoughts about "At last, a way to test time travel" from issue 2552 of New Scientist magazine, 22 May 2006, page 34.
I think that the concept of time travel, or time relocation as I would like to phrase it, seems more viable then ever. I agree that it seems possible that physics theoretically seems to allow time relocation. But I believe th ere is a major important issue lacking discussion concerning the subject that need hi-lightning. To be able to prove the theory by experiment, we would have to relocate particles in the fourth dimension and measure them elsewhere. The big issue, no one seems to address, is that a experiment requires a incredibly stable testing environment in all other dimensions. Based on the theories that space time itself seems to be expanding and that our galaxy is speeding away from the location of the big bang, the place of measurement is extremely hard to calculate as we do not really know our movement vector in the other dimensions. A time traveler would very likely be sent to a empty place in space.
Some interesting ideas does however arise. Could extremely well measured particle relocation enlighten us on our present 3d vector in space? Could extremely well coordinated time traveling allow us to relocate ourselves in the 3d dimensions, without using any kinetic energy whatsoever?(only from or against our current travelling vector) Mind boggling indeed.
