Consistent Histories Issues With Anomalous Time Travel in a G.R. Universe Paradigm

In general relativity space-time is a necessary coefficient. To travel through space near light speed means to experience the passage of time slower than in non-accelerated space-time. That isn’t surprising; time is generally a change in the configuration of mass. With less mass such as has an elementary particle there is less to change. A photon is a photon, a neutrino just a neutrino with maybe a quark or two about it and not much else. Massless particles often travel at light speed, yet that’s just their own existential space and speed in relation to larger clumps of steady state mass.

So to convert mass into photons that are massless and accelerate them to the speed of light is a dream for physicists and erstwhile explorers of other star systems who could as photons travel at the speed of light over immense distances of space that would take a normal rocket ship thousands of years and planetfulls of fuel. It isn’t practical to accelerate mass to light speed because it would encounter the gravitational field super fast and develop counterproductive increase of mass requiring more fuel. Nearing light speed mass and fuel values would become infinite.

If gravity isn’t a field though could mass accelerated to light speed with a photon engine (science fiction) avoid gravity with gravity-Teflon spray? If it could maybe after spraying on gravity-deet what about the other fields that exist in mass such as the electro-weak or nuclear force between quarks? Would those fields be changed at all accelerating through the gravity field, the Higgs field or whatever uncertainty field exists out there and lose their relative condition of decoherence and consistent history locally that gives them a sense of who they are?

If there is only one space-time growing, expanding or whathaveyou as a field decohered from a coherent and uncertain uniform senselessness as a Higgs field and time is only a description of the entangled and decohered steady state of the evolving mass that it is, even if that mass is monistic viewed in the big picture then the past does not exist except perhaps as an image-for-other-viewers from afar traveling at the slowish speed of light. Time travel to the past isn’t possible though the entire Universe could be a recycling thought of God’s that may or may not be set into motion-as needed I would guess if that’s how it is).

Some believe though that if the entire Universe is something like a wave in a two-dimensional ocean juxtaposed with other flat-screen dimension membranes it might be possible to extract oneself from the present wave, relocate to another membrane Universe and reinsert oneself, or one’s mapped steady-state configuration back into the past making new waves in the process I would guess (again).

It seems sort of unreasonable to think that mapping one’s mass configuration and transferring it in some way outside the steady state mass entangled field to relocate in a hypothetical elsewhen would not add or subtract mass from the Universe- so such things might require careful balance and compensation or not as the case may be.

Well, the general relativity of the steady-state Universe that Einstein developed his theoretical parameters about are largely a way of measuring or regarding space-time changes and relationships within it. The field of space-time has local and non-local components and the relationships of mass with local and non-local fields of which it is formed might be malleable or subject to non-standard reformation with the power of intelligent thought that would allow light speed or faster-than-light-speed travel, if one should actually find it beneficial to do so.


Perhaps physicists down the road will discover new ways to quantify, shape, reshape, combine and/or relocate or reconstitute values of mass clumps along with attendant human mind within the Higgs field or whatever other meta-field of coherence and decoherence may exist. That seems like a challenging quantum mapping project especially since keeping consistent histories of a meta-field with exfiltrations of contingent field (post hoc) parts of it relocated elsewhere would probably affect the integrity of a meta-field.
