Are you riding the bike or is the bike riding you?

I have no idea what u guys are saying but try this one:

As an object aproaches the speed of light, light will bend around that object (Specialized theory of relativity, A. Einstein). So as you travel faster than the speed of light, you are not seeing light but the path that light travels, iow the 'history' of the light (general theory of relativity, A. Einstein).

So theoretically(sp) if you travel faster than the speed of light you will actually begin to see everything around you as it was when light reflected off that object at that particular point in time.

Confused? Try this:

If you travel faster than the speed of light, you will be seeing events that already happened - you will be seeing the past. So time travel is 'possible' to a certain degree (theoretically, of course). Descartes' theory of 'I think, therefore I am' states that if you can see, touch, smell or even think of an idea, that idea must exist at some point in time and space - this leaves the theory open to the suggestion that every possible event will happen at some point in space and time. This opens the theory further to suggest that there are multiple realites.

So before your brain explodes I'll finish my argument.

If you travel faster than the speed of light and you are seeing events of the past, those events now exist in present time as well as past, which means that you should be able to manipulate the events of the past which are actually in the present. So if you change something in the 'present past', will it affect the 'past past' as it is the same thing?

willystylle Reviewed by willystylle on . quantum mechanics and god The observer effect and its significance...... The observer effect is when the act of observing changes that which is being observed.... if you observe a particle you will change its path....and therefore in quantum mechanics, if the outcome of an event has not been observed, it exists in a state of superposition...ie. It exists in all possible states at once...... Now this raises the truly mind blowing question - that at the quantum level do all events have to be observed in order to Rating: 5
