Time travel questions to make you question reality

apparently the man made trains come on time ig in italy

That’s hot

In accordance to my previous reply. My friend told me that hitler was rejected from art school.

You really can’t pull down someone’s pants unless you’re touching the pants to begin with when stopping time. With time stopping, that would also mean the transfer of light would stop making everything see-able

Or maybe the world ends up in a “Sound of Thunder” scenario.

But light would be frozen in time, although I guess you could say if you walked forward or backward everything would look weird as fuck because the light isn’t moving to you

Hitler wasn’t the only one who thought that, WW2 might’ve still happened but without the Holocaust and shit is what I’m thinking because the Holocaust were a minority’s views like the KKK before Hitler took over Germany.

Wdym probably not be likely? Do you not know about the famine Germany faced at the time, which also was one of the reasons of the Holocaust(The economy went to shit as they were printing too many bills though the main reason was still hitler’s shitty political views). I’m trying to say that it is likely, not just mentioning a possibility.

Ya, it’s technically not stopping time because if you actually stopped time, you’d be frozen/can’t hear/can’t see/can’t breath/your heart is literally stopped/so are all the rest of your organs. But none of this matters because that part in time is frozen so to time it seemed like you could always breath, see, etc.

Whenever someone says “stopping time” I’d rather think about it as rewriting reality for a certain thing to occur, whether that be movement a knife throw, a punch, or anything else within a timeframe they have to do those actions.

Yeah, even without Hitler, WWII would have happened— Notably with Japan, which went to war with China a couple years before Hitler went to war with Poland (and friends), although Japan’s war with China may have been labelled differently than WWII.

I am not a historian so I can not say for certain.

Also, how did a topic about time travel become so history based (especially WWI-WWII). Even if it is time travel…

Can’t happen, it you kill your past self, who will come back to kill you?
So if the universe doesn’t arrange for your failure, some sort of time travel police definetely will (their existence is mandated by the fact that you were stopped by something that’s not pure chance, so it’s gotta be someone or something with an objective to do so).
And how do we know they have succeeded?
First thing, you were able to go back in the first place, meaning you weren’t killed earlier, and they get infinite attempts to stop, cuz time travel. They will eventually succeed, and until then you’ll be swarmed by interspace agents.

If you go in the future and succeed in killing yourself, nothing will stop that from happening when the time comes.
If in that time noone came to stop you, or noone succeded, even if some in-between you came he would have to fail because the number 1 you succeeded.

Best case scenario is you come late and kill him when it’s all already over for him anyways…

I’m assuming that time somehow stops flowing, but you still somehow function normally.

some physics stuff trying to explain it

Newtonian physics say the same amount of heat is emitted by friction as normally is.
By the second law of thermodynamics, you can only convert energy, and the kinetic energy friction takes away must be converted to some other energy.
Can’t be chemical, electric, nuclear or any other for obvious reasons, so it’s gonna all be heat.
The amount of thermal energy is then equal to the kinetic energy take away from the pants, which is just the work of friction.
Work of a force is W=F • d, where d is distance crossed. As you can see, time taken is irrelevant, so no, noone is set on fire.

If by some other imaginary physics model, you somehow get an equation that looks like ΔT = whatever/Δt, where T is temperature and t is time, you are right in one thing, the temperatur exchange is directly proportional to 1/Δt.
To calculate the temperature change, you’d set a limΔt → 0 and calculate under that.
But here’s the catch, time isn’t approaching 0 I’m this example, it is 0.
You would be dividing by 0 in your formula, a big no-no. We don’t have mathematical model to explain division by 0, so the answer is we don’t know.
But even then, our imaginary physics model requires time to pass for heat to be transmitted, and since no time has passed, no gets can be transmitted.

TL;DR noone gets set on fire, time doesn’t play a role in the work of friction.

just skin em alive lol

Are we talking about the MCU’s version of time travel or Back to The Future’s type of time travel

Mix them both

That would be pretty difficult considering that they are different concepts

Just go with whatever time theory makes the most sense to you

For me the MCU’s version makes more sense, cause it doesn’t create a paradox, and it causes pain and suffering for others, for example if you were a great scentist who discovered the cure for cancer, and then traveled “back in time” and killed yourself it would create a new universe and have the cure for cancer be postponed for another decade or two

I heard an answer to this question a long time ago, where going back in time would make everything in this “past time” out of some sort of reverse matter, and if your matter came into contact with your own reverse matter, both of you would merge instantly, killing you both

easiest way to solve all of this is parallel universes.

Killed yourself? oh that just starts a new universe where you died, but in your universe you are still living

Killed Baby Hitler? starts a new universe where WWII didn’t start until Russia and America got pissed at each other and threw bombs at each other because political tension was too high because they never allied in what should’ve been WWII.

Stopping time is an entire different thing.

If you stopped it completely, then you would be moving at infinite speeds, and if you touched something, anything at all, either it or yourself would be atomized.
