A parallel universe where time goes backwards?

[singular_me]

because thinking is continual so are perceptions and without the latter no new theories can be established.

Not saying that the OP is correct, merely posting this to show how wild scientists have become as they are about to hit the same insurmountable question mark again. Hence that we need a society regarding life in general with a reasonable amount of skepticism to question everything. Voluntaryism cannot be successful without such premises. Monolithic thoughts just achieve the opposite and are the destroyers of society

A scientific breakthrough could redefine how the universe is understood.

Radical new research led by a British scientist has suggested that there may be a second universe where time runs backwards.

The theoretical claims put forward in the Physical Review Letters journal could revolutionise the field of research into the origin and future of the universe.

In the paper titled 'Identification of a Gravitational Arrow of Time', an international team of world renowned scientists led by Oxfordshire-based Dr Julian Barbour challenge assumptions about the so called 'arrow of time'.

The 'arrow of time' is the theory that time is symmetric and therefore time moves forward. They contend that there is no scientific reason that a mirror universe could not have been created where time moved in an distinct way from our own.

...............

Dr Barbour told the MailOnline that the mirror universe was a possibility because all of the laws of physics apply no matter which way time is moving and therefore there is no scientific impediment to such a parallel universe.

He said: "Time is a mystery. Basically, all the known laws of physics look exactly the same whichever way time runs, and in the world in which we live in everything goes in one direction."

"If you look at a simple model with a swarm of bees in the middle of the Big Bang but breaking up in either direction, then you would say there are two arrows of time, pointing in opposite direction from the swarm. One arrow would be forwards and one backwards."

However Dr Barbour acknowledges that locating the 'other' universe in practical terms is an altogether different question.

"Our results are a proof of principle," he said.

I do this all the time all you need to do is walk backwards then you will know

I personally believe that time is an invention of man and only exists in the human mind.

The universe has no clock, it is infinate and eternal. Time is static in the universe...only events change.

I'd tend to believe that everything has a zero point energy (at the center of the vortex, torus), the universe included. So there would actually be an area in the universe that is frozen in the eternal present from which originate past and future.

but that is just my own speculation based on my agreement with the torus theory

Time is a creation of life in response to gravity. Worth 22 minutes of your *time* as it will create new neural pathways in your brain.

If there is a multiverse, there is a universe that does anything you want. You want a universe where pink unicorns play chess with lollipop fairies? There is one. You want a multiverese where elephants sip lemonaide while watching soaps while wearing striped pajamas? There is such a universe. The multiverse has way too much explanatory power (anything is possible in "some" universe). This is why it certainly is not science (it is also untestable), and likely pure nonsense.

[singular_me]

that are many theories that were testable and got academic recognition at some point, then went ashtray later on because better answers were found out... this pattern is inherent to the scientific path.

Not really believing the OP at this stage but I know that everything we can dream of does exist to some extend.... I am sure the caveman obsessed with the idea of flying like a bird - or becoming one - was deemed "crazy" by his tribe.

Each paradigm has its own sets of realities. There are plenty of books describing astral projections for example with genuine inter dimensional traveling experiences . Just like people who have seen ghosts... and so on... I have never seen a ghost nor done astral projections, but understand that it is possible

I think this world is in bad shape because people cannot stretch it... it shows at all levels, like telling people that there is a masonic-zionist conspiracy out there, many will look at one thinking s/he is totally insane.

the real power is not knowledge but imagination/intuition, without it no knowledge. Thats why the PTBs have been highly successful illusionists so far...

Scientists are fucking wack jobs half the time. I used to read Scientific American often and they continually show themselves to be desperate to come up with the most retarded theories.

I can't find it on youtube, but, those old enough to remember Laugh In's Father Gallucci can recall his skit called: "La Planeta a'comin' and a'goin". It was hilarious to listen to his description of another earth, exactly opposite the sun from earth, where time goes backwards and should they ever mix, we wouldn't know whether we were a'comin' or a'goin'. I sure wish someone taped it back then and can post up on youtube - it was in the late 80's, I think, and, we all laughed our heads off at his humorous psuedo-science, and how it sorta made some kind of sense.

I came up with the notion once (probably influenced by chemistry), that time is simply a measurement of the rate at which things change. Not sure how useful that definition is, but there ya go.

time is the mechanism by which man tags events, the catalog of those events being collectively called history.

I think these guys maybe watched a bit of Red Dwarf.
Backwards.
With Kryten now a regular member of the crew, Rimmer takes him on a flying lesson in the transport vehicle Starbug. They find themselves whisked away through a time hole, arriving back on Earth, 1993. However, time is running backwards.
