Mind = Blown ... Video - "Through the Wormhole: is Time Travel Possible"
Comments
typical..... :rolleyes:
And federica... don't forget that The Doctor is a Time Lord, so he pretty much makes the rules. Actually, makes them as he goes along.
Just a thought. Nice video...
Did you forget? The Doctor always lies.

Don't give into String Theory or M Theory yet. It does explain how it could work, but it hasn't been tested nor proven yet. The only thing that supports M Theory is the math and that is all.
"I don’t like that they don’t check their ideas. I don’t like that for anything that disagrees with an experiment, they cook up an explanation—a fix-up to say, ‘Well, it still might be true.'” ~ Richard Feynman on String Theory
I think it really helps to read the book, in order to understand some of what went on in the movie.
Also note I don't remember the novel had a black hole as an explanation for the star gate sequence.
*UPDATE* No black hole. You might have confused the black hole and the big monolith: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_(novel)
Also, since space and time are connected, perhaps wormholes are a way to time travel, backwards and forwards. (maybe that's what the video is talking about. sorry didn't have time to watch the video yet).
However, wormholes are very unstable. AFAIK we don't have any clue as to how to keep a wormhole open long enough to go through it, nor do we have an energy source powerful enough to that.
