The Future (Part I)
We are going to be talking about the future, split into three main topics. Number one, how to travel into the future, and what that would result in, number two, what will likely happen in the future, and number three, how humanity will likely end in the future. These three topics will be split into 3-5 posts, depending on how much I write.
I. How to Travel into the Future
Well, I hope I didn't get your hopes up (no pun intended) but I'm sorry, it's not currently possible at the moment. But then again, this whole post is hypothetical, so we get to make a rocket that has infinite fuel canisters and can travel at 300 million meters per second, while still keeping all the human bodies in it intact, and making sure that a huge vaccum doesn't form and suck up everyone. We would also need a telescope that sees infinitely long in any direction, but since all the laws of physics are already broken, who cares?! (In case you're wondering, yes, that is the short answer.)
Here's the longer answer.
Basically we can't travel into the future because of some experiments many, many scientists made. The result is that once you reach the speed of light, time stops altogether, and so does speed. Therefore, that will be breaking the laws of basic physics and mathematics, so it's not going to happen (anytime soon), unless we invent FTL communication, which is a whole other story. OH am I getting off topic.
In other words, "Every particle in our universe (including photons) move or ‘swim’ through what scientists call “the Higgs field”. As a result of this interaction, particles acquire their mass. Different particles interact with the Higgs field with different strengths, which is why some particles are heavier (have more mass) than others. Photons move through, but do not interact at all with the Higgs field." (zidbits.com)
We'll stop here for now. Next time, we will go into the more of FTL communication.
