      [–]dannyboylee 260 points261 points ago

      In Primer a time traveler cannot travel back earlier than the date when the time machine was created.

      [–]trimeta 115 points116 points ago

      This is actually true for a large range of time travel devices, not just the one from Primer. All the time machines which make sense according to general relativity fall into this category, for example.

      [–]I_Shall_Upvote_You 42 points43 points ago

      What if some species in the universe somewhere created a time machine before mankind/before mankind evolved/before Earth was formed?

      [–]dannyboylee 42 points43 points ago

      I guess whoever entered that machine, human or otherwise, could go back as far as whenever it was created.

      [–]turdodine 2 points3 points ago

      and a time machine built with it would be even freakier...

      [–]DerpTheGinger 24 points25 points ago

      So if we got their time-machine, we could go back as far as we wanted. However, we'd have to go get it, as a time machine (within a gravitational field) would only travel time, not space. Also, one could create an infinite loop/paradox if the time machine was created because a time traveler taught people how to make one. Basically, traveling backwards in time creates an infinite number of paradoxes between the point of entry and exit. TL;DR There's no real way to shorten that.

      [–]grammanarchy 11 points12 points ago

      You couldn't go back as far as you wanted, just as far as the point at which the aliens invented the time machine. If, however, you could travel back to earth from the alien planet (after stealing their time machine) at FTL speeds, then all bets are off.

      [–]DerpTheGinger 4 points5 points ago

      Except to move at FTL speeds, you would need no mass, as even a single atom takes an infinite amount of energy to move at the speed of light. So, if we were destroyed, stored as some form of wave and data, and re-created somewhere else, THEN it might be possible to hit light-speed, but not above it.

      [–]sirin3 2 points3 points ago

      I thought a FTL drive is already a time machine.

      [–]Green-Daze 5 points6 points ago

      So basically we need to put a time machine inside a space machine... or vice versa?

      [–]captainlavender 14 points15 points ago

      I don't really understand the "infnite loop of paradoxes" part. Could you elaborate a bit?

      [–]DerpTheGinger 2 points3 points ago

      Say, for example, you are visited by your future self, and given some food so you don't starve. Then, you do this in the future. See where I'm going? You give food to your past self, which would also be a new you, and there would be an infinite amount of "you"s created by this. Except, of course, there's only one you. Thus the paradox.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

      The "infinite loop" is also called a "stable time loop".

      Basically:

      1. Something happens in, let's say, 2017.

      2. This causes somebody to travel back in time to 2012.

      3. The guy who went back to 2012 does shit that causes something to happen in 2017.

      4. Repeat ad nauseam.

      This would not actually have that big of an effect on the general timeline, or even the personal timeline of the guy in question. The world would still continue beyond 2017, and so would the guy's life. Depending on the severity of the shit that happens, it's even quite possible that the only noticeable change is that the guy (in 2017) is suddenly five years older, provided he actually stuck around for all the five years he travelled back in time.

      [–]EbonPinion 5 points6 points ago

      So, what I'm hearing is we need a TARDIS.

      [–]herrrrrpppp 2 points3 points ago

          [–]Cendeu 1 point2 points ago

          Also in the Dean Koontz book "Lightning".

          (kinda spoilers) they can't travel back in time. Only forward. And they can't be at the same place twice. So If I go to the 2100 New Year, that can never be traveled to again, for as long as I'm in it.

          It's cool, because they go into the far future, look up records of the past (which is still our future) and then go there.

          [–]spy_sappin_mah_sentr 1 point2 points ago

          Watch Stephen Hawking's "The Universe" episode on time travel. According to him, we will never be able to travel back in time due to paradoxes and the fact that a worm hole would destroy itself due to radiation.

          [–]glexarn 0 points1 point ago

          See: Light cones.

          edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone caveat: the only physics book I've ever read is Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, so maybe I'm misunderstanding. This seems like it applies, though!

          [–]TrepanationBy45 0 points1 point ago

          This even seems to hold true for Henry, who suffers from "Chrono-displacement Disorder" in The Time Traveler's Wife. He never seems to time travel to any dates prior to his own birth, although doing so is one of his fears. I like this concept. It simplifies the what-ifs.

          [–]Thewalruscobainfloyd 0 points1 point ago

          So you're saying that they already had time machines in 1885 in back to the future 3?

          [–]trimeta 2 points3 points ago

          The time machines in the Back to the Future franchise do not follow the "you can only go as far back as when the machine was first built" rule of time travel. Also, they don't resolve the question of where in space you end up, when you get to the past. Generally speaking, time machines which fail to do one of these fail to do the other (offhand, only the TARDIS specifically addresses the spacial question by explicitly stating that it can choose any arbitrary point in spacetime).

          [–]aspartam 0 points1 point ago

          Does this mean that some time machines would be worth more than others because of their wider ranges? I'd like to visit time machine black markets. I think the brokers would be interesting people.

          [–]larsao3 15 points16 points ago

          [–]Shooper_Scooper 42 points43 points ago

          That doesn't really help explain anything...try watching it 20 times, read up on the alternate timeline theories, then drink to forget everything you've ever learned. Ever.

          [–]gameguy285 21 points22 points ago

          thinking about the laws of time travel always fills my mind full of fuck

          [–]TakinTheHeat 18 points19 points ago

          That's nothing. I'm going to mindfuck you now.

          Consciousness blows my mind. How do you know that you have lived your entire life and that you are indeed you? What do I mean? Let me explain.

          Okay. Picture a machine that can 'teleport' people by creating an exact copy down to the last atom at the exit destination and deleting the original. To anyone else, it looks like you were simply teleported magically. Even the copy of you wouldn't know the difference. Neither would the original you, since you don't exist anymore. Your copy would continue your life just as you would if it did indeed magically teleport you. However, it didn't, and you are now completely gone. You can't even acknowledge that you don't exist! But like I said, the only person ever able to experience it can't tell the difference.

          What if, every time you go to sleep something similar happens? Sure, you 'believe' that you've lived all of those memories, but they are just that. Memories. How do you know that you are indeed the same you that went to sleep yesterday? You'd never know the difference, but the you that was here yesterday is gone forever.

          [–]rabs38 6 points7 points ago

          This has always bothered me about any type of live forever story that involves clones and transferring memories, when you die you are going to die, just someone else just like you with the exact same memories and everything is going to wake up in a tube, but "you", as a conscious being, will die.

          [–]z0rb1n0 7 points8 points ago

          That's adorable...

          What if I told you that according to some theories the whole universe (including your brain) branches (gets cloned) at every quantum state transition (every time something changes, "something" here meaning ANY elementary particle) and there's a copy of our universe for every possible "outcome"?

          "Every possible": there would be an unimaginably large number of universes where you got elected as U.S. president after a porn star career (Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho comes to mind...).

          [–]Carinix 2 points3 points ago

          BRB, going to Dunkin' Donuts to get an extra large coffee. 9, 10, never sleep again...

          [–]largenumberofletters 4 points5 points ago

          After watching the entire series Dollhouse in two days I started to think about this and still can't sleep without thinking about my inevitable nonexistence. It isn't the nonexistence that scares me so much as knowing I won't retain consciousness to say "I fucking knew it."

          [–]captainlavender 2 points3 points ago

          I love identity theory. The teleporter problem because way more obvious when you take a hypothetical: teleportation usually doesn't mean the same atoms are transported to the destination, only that the machine will create an atomically identical "you" out of local atoms. So, suppose the machine malfunctioned, and created a copy of you at the other end without properly deleting you first? Now there are two of you, and it's pretty intuitive which one is the "real" one.

          That's why I no longer hope for teleportation technology for living beings; only inanimate matter.

          [–]Gnukk 1 point2 points ago

          I dont see why this would matter at all. What am I if not memories? I am my own frame of reference, if I cant tell the difference, there is none. I dont mean to go all Descartes on you, but the fact that I am sitting here contemplating your post and thinking about how i should rather be sleeping, is for me enough proof of my existence.

              As pointed out by the comic book "Planetary", this kind of time machine would create a big overlooked problem. Everyone from the entire future where that device exists would want to visit the moment the machine was activated. Imagine turning it on and instantly having millions or more people popping through.

                I think of it in terms of timelines. We live in a timeline that no one has ever traveled to in a time machine (and never will). From the perspective of a time traveler, they'll go into the past of our timeline...but the very act of doing so breaks them off into a new timeline, so ours will never be affected.

                [–]thebigslide 1 point2 points ago

                Maybe there are an infinite number of parallel universes representative of a set of all possible states. In this case, a "time machine" could simply allow traversal between these universes based on a set of parameters which isolate the destination universe based on the state of our universe at some point in the past.

                In such a paradigm, not having time machines now simply means that such an event will never occur in some possible states.

                It would be dangerous to travel forward through time using such a time machine without being able to precisely calibrate the parameters used to find the destination.

                they fucking invented time travel, I would think they're smart enough to know how to do a bit of research and be able to blend in.

                The sad truth to time travel.

                Or at least, time travel as we define it.

                [–]nagasgura 0 points1 point ago

                Or maybe they invented it but didn't want to or need to give us the technology for fear of messing with their own timeline. Why bother giving us the technology if they already have it? It serves no benefit to them (unless something went horribly wrong and they needed to go back in time to fix it)

                Whoever invented it could be very responsible with it and not want the past being altered.

                We should start a fake protest day where we all create funny protest signs like this. And when the media interviews us we can babble incoherently about legacy code, sunday morning cartoons, and hay fever. Who's in?

                Naw, then the media would just slander you. People would pretend to be undercover cops and then pretend to incite riots. Then sooner or later the media would slander your fake movement as 'terrorists', as Fox news would want to remove you as competition for make-believe champion.

                If it's directed at me I honestly cannot help you. It's made in humor but I'm willing to bet, somehow, people would spin that to serve a political goal. And Fox news really is fucking crazy.

                [–]Tattered 1 point2 points ago

                Poe's law states that "it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing" ; therefore justifying your prediction of retaliation against it similar to the retaliation against the Occupy movement.

                    I know this is irrelevant but does anyone else think US protest "slogans" are so corny sounding? I mean when I watch protests in the middle east it sounds more bad-ass. We have "What do we want? ..something.. When do we want it? Now!" and "Hey hey, ho ho ..... has got to go".

                    Those aren't the only common ones, though. I'm sure a lot of people will think these are corny too, but I like stuff like "The people, united, will never be divided", "who's streets? our streets" and "this is what democracy looks like"

                      Everyone assumes that once you figure out time travel, time is a nonissue, even though at present our most intriguing guesses about possible time travel involve carefully navigating between adjacent black holes, and how often does that astronomical opportunity arise?

                      Some people don't understand this. My old room mate liked to argue about stupid shit like this while knowing nothing.

                      mmm, the funny thing is if time travel ever existed it would exist throughout the whole of time unless for some reason the travelees decided only to travel to a time in our future.

                      Time travel is impossible because it ignores the laws of causality. Let's say I'm going back to the year 2000 to change something. Twelve years later, in 2012, that particular thing doesn't happen because I changed it in 2000. But because it doesn't happen in 2012, I'm not going back to the year 2000 to change it. Since I didn't go back, it would happen, while we just concluded that it didn't happen because I went back. It would happen and not happen at the same time. That's a paradox. The reason for this is simple: with time travel the cause of the event lies after the effect, because using the time machine will always be the first cause. That cause is motivated by the effect, which changes that effect and thus the cause... Ad infinitum. Bottom line: With time travel cause and effect switch place, which is impossible.
