I dicovered a problem with the time travel method in Back to the Future!!!!

in back to the future, ya know when the car has to go 60mph in order to go into a future dimension. ok, that makes sense, but what i don't understand is how the car can still be going 60mph when it reaches the other dimension. theoretically, the car should be at 0mph once it enters the future world, so it would just do a massive burnout instead of truckin along at 60mph. these are the thoughts that keep me up at night.

  • I thought that time travel in a Delorean was rather plausible but using trash as a fuel source, how gullible do you think I am?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ninja de fuego and another thing... its just a movie.[/quote] Is it though... I think the movie is very symbolic of what every person has to deal with... a crazy scientist who sends you all over the place and as if that wasn't enough he sends you into the future so he doesn't die because he's selfish....

  • So the main problem with time travel is we couldnt go "back" in time. When traveling at the speed of light, time no longer becomes a factor. This allows someone to travel faster in time due to time dilation. They then travel farther forward in time, with no capability of going back to the original time frame in which they left. To actually have a grasp of time travel, one must first have a grasp of theoritical multi-dimensional physics and Einsteinian physics (Relativity and Special Relativity).

  • You don't have to be traveling [b]at[/b] the speed of light for time dilation to be a factor. For time dilation to be a [i]major[/i] factor though, one must be traveling close to the speed of light (since we cannot travel at the speed of light, close to the speed of light is the best we might be able to do).
