Yeah blame Hawking’s and all the space-time theories I was trying to digest in one day, the first thought I get when I woke up was about this science fiction concept we often see in movies or the novels – when the time stops for some character etc. And I realized no matter how fancy it seems it has too many scientific complications. Here are some of thoughts I could remember from the moment I woke up.
- No matter if your character is using a tiny watch that stops time or this huge machine with immense power will it be able to stop all the movements of the universe? The sun should be exactly where people felt it was, other planets, other galaxies, thus the whole universe. Although, time is just the dimension which can not be stopped but to make it look like it did one will need to cease the whole universe.
- Okay let’s assume time did stop or we managed to stop the whole universe, which means, photons stopped too? Ofcourse they did and if they did, they will never reach our eyes and we will not be able to see in that condition?
- Forget point number 2 for now if we can’t see, but when we walk, we are walking faster than light because photons are holding their position and not moving and this is not possible in our universe, atleast not without a warp.
- How will we think? Since how much our brain process also depends on time?
- So basically the movements of your arms, body etc will be fast enough to go beyond speed of light and when you stop yourself or any body movement you are actually coming back from (faster than light) position to the rest. Does our body have that much energy?
Okay let’s cancel out the possibility to completely pausing the time or the universe. Let’s think about the possibilities of hyper time. Let’s say, time doesn’t stop but we move too fast, for us a second will be a day.
- If you move too fast according to relativity theory you will stay young, for you time laps will be a lot lower than those who live in reality.
- Interaction with other objects or humans will be extremely dangerous? If you touch your friend that means you will crush him? (Assuming you are moving little less than the speed of light).
- Similar effect won’t be observed on you? If you are moving too fast even the air hits you dangerously. Okay let’s assume it won’t once you are in hyper time but I will still make my transitions when my body is at still position for the safety.
- Since you are moving little less than the speed of light the photons will reach your eyes very slowly and you will observe the world in slow motion.
- The last two points of above scenario holds true here as well.
I think I need another few hours sleep. I am not awake yet.

Run for your life! Aliens have taken over this blog! I wonder what happened to our jolly old JonyDada!
Heheh just kidding. Thought you might put these thoughts to some use. Why don't you pick something relating to Quantum Physics next? Its really interesting and it is the future.
mummy... yehan bhao aagaya!!
off the books, by the books, from the books & for the books. n im nowhere in them. so please excuse me. seems like a wrong place for flunkey me. :$
anyway, i hope tum achay hogay.. :)
jia.
with my limited understanding, this is what i can come up wid.
acording to the theory of theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. if that were to happen, we'd cross the time barrier.
stopping time does imply stopping light from traveling altogether which would mean that photons would slow down as well..and we all will be blind.
waise did u know that time traveled slower as u went away from the surface of the earth time slows down..which means that if 2 twins were seperated at bith and one was sent to live at the top of himaliyas and the other stayed atsea level..one would be younger thjan the other. that is called time dilation..aging process delayed in space etc..
but why do u want to change things anyway..Allah has not created the wrold arbitrary manner and everything and phenomenon serves a purpose..:P let things be.
*covers his ears and rolls his eyes*
uXuf bhai...ye physics door door se hi achi hai :p
Raheel : haha... u know ppl who know me said ke raheel ne tumhain dekha nahi phir bhi sahi pehchaan lia :D
Jia : & i hope tum achi hogi?
Sid : Time travels slow as u go away from the surface of earth? *scratches his head* ... no i dont think it happens, but it slows down if u r moving too fast, even if u r on earth & moving too fast it will be bit slower than the person who is at rest.
nahin it does...mein ghar jaaa k prove karoon gi. stephen hawking ne khud yeh kaha hai!!
