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.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CacaKing [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ninja de fuego ok i could try and explain it. first off when it makes the jump in time it would be like changing the backdrop. and 2 changin the backdrop wouldnt be like hitting a brick wall. think of it this way, your playin halow and you go through a teleporter. you dont stop, you just keep going as if you go through a door.[/quote] your "backdrop theory" has holes all over it. the two "backdrops" exist in two different dimensions. now see that the two dimensions have seperate laws of physics. then you might begin to understand that when the car crosses from one plain, to another, then the previous physics of the car is void because there is no asphault inside a wormhole that takes you from one dimension to another. so the car literally stops, while inside of the wormhole, and would be spit out perfectly still on the other side. if doc was mashin on the gas still, then he would burn out the tires and have to start from 0mph and it is 88mph, i was wrong bout that[/quote] ah, but if you take an object and freeze it in time and take it somewhere else it still possesses the same kinetic energy as before. velocity is a property of the car which is always present. no matter if it is "frozen" or not. and it isn't frozen in time in the first place. it goes through a wormhole. imagine a wormhole in space. throw a rock into it. it comes out somewhere else, same time. it should still be moving yes? same thing with time. time is no different from space in these things.
