What do you think would happen if someone figured out how

What do you think would happen if someone figured out how
to make a relatively simple time machine, and managed to
put the plans up on the internet for everyone to see before he
got assassinated by some random agency or secret group?

Then everyone who saw the plans would call the OP a schizo faggot and refer them to /x/

I mean didn't somebody leak classified documents on /pol/ a few years back and nobody even responded?

same thing that happened last ti—

Then the Government (which already knows how to build a time machine, but is suppressing it) would kill you.
What does "publish BEFORE you're assassinated mean" when your enemies have a time machine? For them, it's never too late.

Back to /x/. It isn't even decent science fiction.

>relatively simple time machine

Do you understand relativity?

If you did you'd know how to travel forward in time and that traveling backward is not possible. No magic or exotic engineering required.

Then people would start building time machines and changing the timeline, again and again and again, until by chance a change was made that resulted in no time machine being invented, and it would remain stable after that.

According to a theory, time travel would require speeds greater than speed of light, which would require infinity energy.

So 3 options:
1. A theory is wrong.
2. Theory is right, but time travel will be acquired by accelerating a systen to faster than light using more than infinite energy.
3. Theory is right, and infinite energy cannot be used.

Now what genius?

>a relatively simple time mach
Already been done
A more complex one would be interesting though

>3. Theory is right, and infinite energy cannot be used.

This is what relativity states, but only when trying to travel back in time as it would require going faster than the speed of light.

One can still travel forward in time by accelerating close to the speed of light.

It doesn't matter since this is entirely fictional. You can easily plot your way out of whatever problem you face regardless of what they are:

1: Problem with causality? Meh, you are now in multiple time lines!
2: Problem with someone stopping you? They can't stop what has already happened! (see #1 for any other result)
3: Nothing else is needed since this is fiction.

So is light always time travelling?

Light is always "in the present" in it's own frame of reference.
Of course, photons don't carry watches but neutrinos, which travel at ALMOST lightspeed do, and they barely "age".

Light doesn't experience time. From it's perspective it traverses the universe in a instant.

Either CERN takes over or we get WWIII

>Light doesn't experience time. From it's perspective it traverses the universe in a instant.

Light doesn't experience distance either, from that perspective a photon is standing still and everything moves around it. Light is the only thing in the universe that could be considered 100% stationary relative to everything in the universe.
