Time Travel... A New Approach...???

i got a book from the library the other day on Time Travel; By Jenny Randles.
She written some other Crazy Books that i liked, and so i checked it out...
It turned out to be Terrible...!!!
It was just too long on crazy theories, and it completely neglected to include any explanations of why anyone would believe all the nutty things that they purported to believe in...

i really think that 'Science' is broken...!
We seem to be going through a phase where our Orthodoxy of Scientists have resorted to just 'making shit up' to fill in the cracks of their personal favorite theories, and for some reason(s that is unfathomable to me,
all the other Scientists just go along with them--
Allowing numerous, completely unsupported ideas to become established facts...

e.g., 'Dark Matter', 'Worm Holes', 'Higher Dimensions', 'Infinite Universes', 'The Big Bang' & 'Electricity'.

When it comes to Time Travel,
Specifically; Jumping into The Future or Past and Returning to the Present...

[ It's just crazy to think of Relativistic Chronological Distortions as Time Travel...
It's like putting a bowl of fruit salad in the refrigerator... Is the fruit salad jumping into the future, because it was refrigerated...??? --
Jenny Randles goes on and on with examples of 'Time Travel' that are based on this sort of 'misunderstanding'...!
She's also 'assumed' that 'Light' is the key to Time Travel and simply moving faster than light will take you backwards in time...
( we'll see about that...??? ) ]

...But anyways...
i'm of two minds when it comes to Time Travel...
On the one hand; i just can't see how it would ever work...
But -- i also believe that Time Travelers are influencing this Time Line--

...As it most easily explains much of the phenomena that i see going on around us all the time...
( so to speak )
Such as; The dearth of political assassinations in this country.
Or; The suppression of various technologies, Such as Robotics or Easy to use Computers.
Why haven't so many of things that i think should be happening...
Not happened...???

Time Travelers controlling their own prehistory is the best solution...

How they do it... i don't know.

But--
i was thinking the other day of how you might do something, kind of like, Travel in Time...
What i most like about this new method, is that it implies all sorts of weird new 'not quite' paradoxes...
And the fact that they're not paradoxes,
--makes them all the more delicious!

As you probably already know, very tiny, atomicly scaled particles, and some molecular functions,
don't seem to care a lick about time direction...
That is; they'll just as easily break apart and reunite one way, as another.
When you're looking at their behavior, you can't tell if you're seeing they moving forward in time, or if you're watching a film of them, running backwards...!!!

Does the universe have a genuine preference for moving one way, over the other way...?

Also; i wanted to mention something about 'Dimensions'.
When Physicists & Astronomers speak of Dimensions,
particularly metaquadrilateral dimensions...
They resort to all sorts of crazy analogies, or suggesting that these 'additional' and 'necessary' dimensions are all around us, but they are 'over there' where we can't see them, or are shrunk down to such small scales, that they are stuck to the undersides of electrons, and won't let go.

i would like to suggest another way of thinking about these higher dimensions.
It seems to me that everything we're familiar with has various 'Attributes'
and some of these are things like 'Width' or 'Height' or 'Depth'
and these things are given to a common feature of either coming or going.
They're this way or that way.
Each has 2 directions.
These are Dimensions.

What if we thought of all the dimensions, The 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and so on...
as simply being Attributes that Everything has...
But that we may not be immediately familiar with them,
because they seem 'inconsequential'...???
It may be that 'Gravity' is a Dimensional Attribute that designates a place for everything spatially...???
Time places everything in a specific chronological spot...
why not think of gravity as doing the same thing with location...???

Or--
There could be Dimensions that act like supervisory genes in your DNA...
they don't actually 'Do Stuff' on their own,
So that you'd never see them doing it,
but rather,
they acted on the other Dimensions to tell them what to do...!

And what if one of these Dimensions/Attributes controlled whether molecules and atoms were to prefer moving 'one way' ( that we interpret as going forward in time )
or the 'other way' ( which we would see as going backwards in time ).

And then:
What if; we could build a machine that would flip that dimension over...
Like we can flip a magnet over,
or reverse the flow of electricity,
or push a car backwards.

O.K.
So we now have such a machine...
The PsuedoChronoNaut climbs into his Spherical Chrono Capsule and turns on the machine,
which sends out a 7th Dimensional ChronoPulse, that flips this field over,
which causes all the atoms to twist over, and proceed to run 'backwards'...
This field even effects photons & electrons, which are merely wave forms that pop into an inverted state,
causing their troughs to bulge up and their peaks to drop down,
and suddenly; they have reversed their directions,
without losing a bit of their momentum...!!!

But The PsuedoChronoNaut is Not going backwards in time...!
S/He is sitting in a Capsule that is isolated from this effect,
so that they will continue to experience time as going forward, for them...
But the world outside is now running backwards...

The first, most obvious thing we should notice is that the PsuedoChronoNaut is not outside to run backwards... So they effectively just disappear...!!!
How do all the things that The PCN should be interacting with, act in her absence...!!! ( ? )

i think that all the particles would 'obey' the rules of The Universe,
such as momentum, electrical fields, gravity and such,
and would 'work their way around' her absence...!!!
Which means that this backwards running universe would be quite different from the one that led up to it...!

If she's not there when someone is taking her picture,
her image is in the camera, but she's not there in front of it...

Also:
If a cup that's fallen off a table and broken into bits, is run backwards...
It has to fall up. Does this mean that Gravity is now repulsive...?
If so; wouldn't the whole world fly apart...!!! ?
What if; when the cup is running backwards, all the Energy that left the cup when it broke and dissipated into the floor, ran backwards, into the cup, and pushed it up into the air, and onto the table...
This would require that Gravity wouldn't exactly run backwards, but merely held things in place,
until momentum could act on them...!
If this were allowed so that this version of Time Travel could proceed...
Then wouldn't Gravity work that way when time it moving forwards...???
Maybe we're thinking of Gravity all wrong...

Another thing;
How would a photon act on the edge of this Reversal Pulse.
And does this Reversal Pulse move at the speed of light,
or the speed of time,
which would be the speed of activity...
or some other speed...
If it were instantaneous, then the whole universe would suddenly start running backwards...
Which i find distasteful.
i think i would much prefer that it moved slower than light,
and had a range limitation,
so that at several millions of miles out into space, it would lose it's effect and time would continue to run forward as it passed through that region...

But photons...
When they are effected by the pulse, they would suddenly reverse their direction, and fall back into the Pulse's Edge... and then leave the Edge, and reverse again, falling back into the Edge...
becoming trapped there...
or carried forward with it, until it reached it's limit...
So anyone looking into the expanding bubble would see a black hole...???

Also: The Sun would require all the photons that it's sent out, to return to it, to reverse the atomic fusion reactions, and many of them would be lost beyound Reversal Boundary...
So that would be another thing that would make this Backwards Running Universe Different from The Source Universe...

So when The PCN turned The Pulse around again,
and time began running forward again...
There would be a lot of differences...

People's brains would not be aware that they were running backwards...
obviously, for several different reasons...
most notably i suppose, would be that it would necessitate the creation of new thoughts by the brain...???

So that when The PCN would want to return to their 'Present' ---
It would be a very different Present...! She would have destroyed it.

Just how far back could the PCN go?
The farther she goes back, the more muddled things become...
She certainly couldn't go back as far as to the dinosaurian ages...!!!

So one way i was thinking that maybe you could limit the damage,
and make this work, just enough so that you could change 'some things' that happened 'not to long ago'...
Would be to select a group of PCN's and put them into tiny little cells,
isolating them from the world,
so that when it came time to send them back,
The PCN that was isolated for 2 weeks,
could go back 2 weeks and no one would be the wiser...!

But it might be that they'd go back to prevent an assassination, and find that no assassination is about to take place,
Then they return to their own time, by waiting...
( or maybe they could get back into their chronosphere and accelerate time-speed, so that 'they' wouldn't have to wait so long )
...and find that their present is completely different... for a zillion different 'little' reasons...

This seems like a interesting way to travel back in time, sort of...
Did i think up something new...???
i don't think i've ever heard of something like this being proposed before...???

What are some of the other wry & quirky consequences of this approach...???
