Open Physics Collaboration∗† June 13, 2020 Abstract A line of thought is presented, where time is a superposition of three-dimensional space. keywords: time travel, space, quantum superposition, many worlds The most updated version of this paper is available at https://osf.io/7ruay/download Open Research Problem 1. There is a very interesting question regarding the Big Bang. 2. In the very creation of space and time, which was created first, space or time? Or were they created together in the first place? ∗All authors with their affiliations appear at the end of this paper. †Corresponding author: [email protected] | Join the Open Physics Collaboration 1 Introduction 3. Time traveling is a very intriguing issue [1–3]. 4. Understanding time in its most fundamental level [4–8] can certainly answer if time travel is possible and if not, why? 5. Suppose there was a sequential order for the creation of this universe during the big bang. 6. The spatial point being created first, then the line, plane, space, and ultimately time. 7. Time is the degree of freedom of space. 8. Time is the possibility of motion through space. Point, line, plane, space 9. Let d be the dimension. 10. A point has no dimension (d 0). 11. A line is orthogonal to the po=int and has d 1. 12. Orthogonality allows the property of s=uperposition. 13. Being orthogonal, by (12), a line is a superposition of points. 14. The same argument holds for the plane (d 2) and for the three- dimensional space (d 3). = = Time 15. Time is orthogonal to the three dimensions of space. 16. By (12) and (15), time is a superposition of space. 2 17. In (16), we mean that there can coexist many copies of three-dimensional space. 18. If spacetime is discrete, then there are finitely many copies of three- dimensional space; otherwise, there would be infinitely many. 19. This idea coincides with the many world interpretation of quantum mechanics. Worldlines 20. Let’s define and distinguish two types of worldlines: the worldline of the observer, and the worldline of the universe. 21. In the framework of time travel, the observer’s worldline can alter the universe’s worldline. Time travel paradox: case 1 22. Suppose an observer A returns to the past and prevents her/his own birth. 23. A was born in the universe’s worldline 1 and altered it to the universe’s worldline 2 (Fig. 1). 24. B is the birth of observer A. 25. C is the event of time traveling. 26. In this line of thought, observer A does not cease to exist; (s)he only alters the universe’s worldline. Time travel paradox: case 2 27. Again, A goes back in time and prevents the birth event B. 3 Figure 1: The worldlines of the observer and of the universe. 1 is the initial worldline of the universe, and 2 is its new worldline after the time travel experiment C. The observer was born at B. 28. Before discussing the fourth-dimensional spacetime, let’s first consider the line. 29. Suppose we are able to freely travel within the line and eventually remove one point from it. 30. The result of (29) is the same as cutting the line; it will produce two different pieces of it. 31. We live in a four-dimensional world; altering the past means altering the universe’s worldline, which might result in the tear of spacetime in the previous (“original”) worldline. 32. So, we have the following conjecture. 33. Conjecture: When an observer alters a worldline, spacetime is torn apart. 34. This is similar to what might happen inside a black hole [9–11]. 35. The disruption in the original spacetime (see loop BC in Fig. 1) might eventually destroy part of it, generating two parallel spaces. 4 36. Note that observer A ceases to exist in the worldline 1 and starts her/his existence in the worldline 2. 37. Therefore, B (Fig. 1) is the event for the birth of the observer A in both worldlines 1 and 2. Quantum Superposition 38. There exists quantum superposition of space. 39. There is also quantum superposition of trajectories. 40. Trajectories can be thought of as variation in space divided by varia- tion in time. 41. By (38), (39), and (40), one can suppose there is also a quantum superposition in time. 42. Are there theoretical and experimental evidence of quantum super- position of time? 43. A list of theoretical evidence for (42) includes: the delayed-choice experiment (quantum eraser) [12], quantum entanglement in time [13], backward entropy flow [5]. Final Remarks 44. Multidimensional traveling is an open scientific question, worth of re- searching. 45. If time is a superposition of three-dimensional space, perhaps there are (in)finitely many worlds coexisting in different time periods (MW). 46. (45) is similar to the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechan- ics. 5 47. In the MW interpretation of quantum mechanics, all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some “world” (or universe). 48. In the MW framework, only a subset of all possible outcomes is phys- ically realized. 49. In order to avoid time travel paradoxes, the following mathemat- ical proposition must hold: T M, where T stands for time travel, →and M stands for the existence of many worlds. 50. (49) means if time travel is possible, then there exists many physical worlds (universes). 51. The history of science shows us that the science fiction of the past has become the reality of the present. 52. Quantum teleportation is such an example of (51). 53. The end of time can help us understand its very quantum nature [9–11,14–18]. 54. Perhaps the next scientific revolution comparable to the relativity of time is the possibility of traveling backward and forth in time. 55. A piece of evidence of time travel can be found here [19].

  • The Future of Robotics an Inside View on Innovation in Robotics
    The Future of Robotics An Inside View on Innovation in Robotics FEATURE Robots, Humans and Work Executive Summary Robotics in the Startup Ecosystem The automation of production through three industrial revolutions has increased global output exponentially. Now, with machines increasingly aware and interconnected, Industry 4.0 is upon us. Leading the charge are fleets of autonomous robots. Built by major multinationals and increasingly by innovative VC-backed companies, these robots have already become established participants in many areas of the economy, from assembly lines to farms to restaurants. Investors, founders and policymakers are all still working to conceptualize a framework for these companies and their transformative Austin Badger technology. In this report, we take a data-driven approach to emerging topics in the industry, including business models, performance metrics, Director, Frontier Tech Practice and capitalization trends. Finally, we review leading theories of how automation affects the labor market, and provide quantitative evidence for and against them. It is our view that the social implications of this industry will be massive and will require a continual examination by those driving this technology forward.

  • Near-Death Experiences and the Theory of the Extraneuronal Hyperspace
    Near-Death Experiences and the Theory of the Extraneuronal Hyperspace Linz Audain, J.D., Ph.D., M.D. George Washington University The Mandate Corporation, Washington, DC ABSTRACT: It is possible and desirable to supplement the traditional neu rological and metaphysical explanatory models of the near-death experience (NDE) with yet a third type of explanatory model that links the neurological and the metaphysical. I set forth the rudiments of this model, the Theory of the Extraneuronal Hyperspace, with six propositions. I then use this theory to explain three of the pressing issues within NDE scholarship: the veridicality, precognition and "fear-death experience" phenomena. Many scholars who write about near-death experiences (NDEs) are of the opinion that explanatory models of the NDE can be classified into one of two types (Blackmore, 1993; Moody, 1975). One type of explana tory model is the metaphysical or supernatural one. In that model, the events that occur within the NDE, such as the presence of a tunnel, are real events that occur beyond the confines of time and space. In a sec ond type of explanatory model, the traditional model, the events that occur within the NDE are not at all real. Those events are merely the product of neurobiochemical activity that can be explained within the confines of current neurological and psychological theory, for example, as hallucination. In this article, I supplement this dichotomous view of explanatory models of the NDE by proposing yet a third type of explanatory model: the Theory of the Extraneuronal Hyperspace. This theory represents a Linz Audain, J.D., Ph.D., M.D., is a Resident in Internal Medicine at George Washington University, and Chief Executive Officer of The Mandate Corporation.

    2011 Steampunk The age of steam - what discoveries it brings forth! What riches in knowledge and science mankind has attained through the march of progress! We marvel at the potential of the atom, and cower at the power of our machinery. And what of our triumphs? What of the work of Tesla, Watt, Faraday and the Curies? What once was the realm of magicians now becomes the realm of science! What wonders might yet spring forth as we delve deeper and deeper into the magia et mysterium of the world of STEAMPUNK! DO YOU DARE TO LOOK UPON THE VISAGE OF THE UNKNOWN? This year at Clementine Productions’ STEAMPUNK IV event, we do not simply aim to look at what lies on the surface of the wonder that scientific arts have delivered, but to delve deeper, into the possibilities to be found in both the uncanny and the academy! There are those who claim to speak with spirits through machines; others yet who claim to have photographed the immaterial! Is it so hard to believe? We have just unlocked the power of the x-ray and the radiowave. There are those who say that invisibility, teleportation, astral projection and psychic enhancements are lurking but around the corner, Model: Ivana. Photo: Tarik Carroll. Stylist: Berít New York.

  • Back Or to the Future? Preferences of Time Travelers
    Judgment and Decision Making, Vol. 7, No. 4, July 2012, pp. 373–382 Back or to the future? Preferences of time travelers Florence Ettlin∗ Ralph Hertwig† Abstract Popular culture reflects whatever piques our imagination. Think of the myriad movies and books that take viewers and readers on an imaginary journey to the past or the future (e.g., Gladiator, The Time Machine). Despite the ubiquity of time travel as a theme in cultural expression, the factors that underlie people’s preferences concerning the direction of time travel have gone unexplored. What determines whether a person would prefer to visit the (certain) past or explore the (uncertain) future? We identified three factors that markedly affect people’s preference for (hypothetical) travel to the past or the future, respectively. Those who think of themselves as courageous, those with a more conservative worldview, and—perhaps counterintuitively—those who are advanced in age prefer to travel into the future. We discuss implications of these initial results. Keywords: time travel; preferences; age; individual differences; conservative Weltanschauung. 1 Introduction of the future.

  • Teleportation
    TELEPORTATION ESSAY FOR THE COURSE QUANTUM MECHANICS FOR MATHEMATICIANS ANNE VAN WEERDEN SUPERVISOR DR B.R.U. DHERIN UTRECHT UNIVERSITY JUNE 2010 PREFACE The aim of this essay is to describe the teleportation process in such a way that it will be clear what is done so far, and what is still needed, to develop a teleportation device for humans, which would be my ultimate goal. However much is done already, there are thresholds that still have to be overcome, some of which will need real ingenuity, and others brute computing power, far more than we are now capable of. But I will show why I have confidence that we will reach this goal by describing the astonishing developments in the field of teleportation and the speed with which computing, or technology, evolves. The discovery that teleportation really is possible came about while I was in my thirties, but I was largely unaware of its further developments until I started the research for this essay. Assuming that I am not the only one who did not know, I wrote this essay aimed at people from my age, in their fifties, who, like me, started out without television and computer, I even remember my Mother telling me how she bought a transistor radio for the first time, placed it in a closet and closed the door, just to be amazed that it could still receive signals and play. We saw it all come by, from the first steps on the Moon watched on the television my parents had only bought a few years earlier, I clearly remember asking my Father who, with much foresight, got us out of our beds despite my

Introduction Time is mysterious. Philosophers and scientists have pondered the question of what time might be for centuries and yet till this day, we don’t know what it is. Everyone talks about time, in fact, it’s the most common noun per the Oxford Dictionary. It’s in everything from history to music to culture. Despite time’s mysterious nature there are a lot of things that we can discuss in a logical manner. Time travel on the other hand is even more mysterious.

Then it went...all over the place, but in a great and enjoyable way. The attention given to recreating party scenes and realistic dialogue were much appreciated. The characters are very developed, especially the main character whom you can't help but to like even though he's a bit of a hopeless schlub. I liked the way the plot developed and the way that everything eventually comes full circle. It ends pretty much the only way it can and still be true to itself, and when you finish you find that you've gone on a very interesting journey and it's time for a nap.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
