The Dream

My happiest times have always been while travelling.

I do understand the phrase 'Enjoy the journey' as I was brought up to achieve. You wait and wait while the journey is going on and then tick the box when you arrive. This results in a moment of pleasure when, by enjoying the journey, the pleasure could have been continuous.

So, while my dream for years has been to use a time machine to discover what actually happened rather than rely on reports of history written by the winners, I will use the analogy of the well known question "How do you walk to India?" to which the answer is you start with the first step in an easterly direction.

I have been watching the Discovery channel and I have been told that the scientists have now proved mathematically that time travel is possible. Harking back to Leonardo Da Vinci and his drawings of flying craft long before air travel was a reality I am certain that there is no harm in dreaming now of what is currently impossible.

I have done so much thinking about the various issues and technicalities that it will take a lifetime to put it all down on paper but the theory is that we need to achieve truly massive acceleration but at zero velocity. Talk to any right minded person and they will tell you that is quite impossible, but get hold of the dreamers and their minds immediately come up with "Rotation".

The observing history theory is that all you need to do is travel away from the incident faster than the speed of light and then train a powerful telescope on the place you came from to see what actually happened. Why not?

In one of my dreams I travelled to a centre for journeys through time and the portal was explained to me as a rotating ring with some kind of particles travelling close to the speed of light being fired from all sides so as they pass each other in the middle of the ring the speed of transition can at maximum be close to twice the speed of light.

This meant that if both streams were travelling at half the speed of light the transition was the speed of light and the time transfer was consequently zero. Adjusting the speed resulted in the passage through time both forward and backward. There was also a warning issued was that was a one way journey. It was not possible to return the same way. I remember choosing not to use the device.

That was all a dream but another adage passed down through the generation is "Hold onto your dreams" with the hope that perhaps one day they may come true.

There is so much to discuss that if you have any thoughts I would welcome them.

I have no problem with being perceived as mad. The best people in history were perceived as mad because they refused to accept the status quo and set about the task of changing society.
