If the universe/multiverse is actually closed at some higher dimensional level, then one day it may be possible to extrapolate forwards and backwards through time using nothing more than a computer program whereby time, space, scale, speed and resolution are the only parameters required for the inquisitive. It'd probably bear the appellation "Google Omniverse" and we'd have the ability to play around in any time within any reality and stuff.

My question is ...... how would we create this cool program/device?

Any suggestions welcome.

well I guess you would take a virtual reality program and a nice big computer and upload historic events and happenings..hang on, do you mean a 'haladeck 7'? lol
throw in some EM waves in the left hemisphere of the frontal lobe of the brain and bingo-bango.

why you got one for sale? dry.gif

if you are talking about actually going back and interacting with the past, well theres a name for that machine.

Another thought: Total control of the butterfly effect ...... once the 'model' has been established another bit of software will convert any desired wishes into actuality via manipulation of the "system". Just type it in and enjoy the result ..... no matter how depraved it might be! laugh.gif

....... in stark contrast to the vacuous wasteland that you seemingly possess.

It would seem impossable to me to travel in time only with the use of computer. I heard theories on wormhole travel. According to my "Cosmos Series" DVD, Carl Sagan used a wormhole to have Ellie Arroway travel to the Vaga system. Sagan got the math from Kip Thorn and said that he wanted to make a good science fiction book but not compromise the physics. So my guess is you would need some sort of machine like Sagan used in his book "Contact" in addition to your "Nava Computer".

IF we could make such a computer and the laws of the universe abide, we're way way way way way far away from it happening, so much so that I feel that any thought as to how we could make one now is ultimately futile. I mean, we'd have to know what exactly the universe is before we could even think of manipulating it like that.

What if the universe/multiverse or whatever is totally connected at some higher dimensional level?, might explain the interconnectivity between seemingly separate particles. And if the entire multiverse determines the actions of any one of it's sub components ..... perhaps we should start by analysing the behaviour of these 'entangled' entities?
