minus-squareqarbone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-22 months agoYeah…a time traveller would be able to jump forward less backward in time to check that. But Stephen Hawking wasn’t a time traveller, he just wanted time travellers to visit him.

minus-squarewolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoWell, all you need to do is travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light. That will let you fast-forward the rest of non-relativistic reality. Then it’s just a matter of slowing down again.
minus-squareAsfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoSounds very simple, thank you for that information.
