Stand in front of the mirror and see into the past. Albeit 3.33564095 nanoseconds into the past.

Walk to the loo to take a leak while the other half watches TV, and return to the sofa in her future. Probably a lot less than a few nano seconds. -

That's wrong isn't it? I thought time travelled slower at altitude?Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View Post
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Altitude has nothing to do with the rate of which time comes to pass but you're proximity to mass does.
Were you to travel to the moon, how close could you get to the surface before the effects of time dilation begin to reverse as the distance between you and the earth grew?

No. The passage of time for someone approaching the event horizon of a black hole, for example, will approximate zero (from the perspective of an outside observer).Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostThat's wrong isn't it? I thought time travelled slower at altitude?Comment

No but (relative) movement does. If you sit on the bottom of the ocean or on a hill, you are moving at a different speed.Altitude has nothing to do with the rate of which time comes to passOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

I would like to say there's no such thing as 'now'.
It's quite difficult to remove this idea from your head once it's made a home. But as others have pointed out my 'now' will be moving at a different rate from your 'now'. There's no such thing as a universal 'now'.
Holding onto that thought, everybody's personal 'now', it's become possible that I could see into your past.
More worryingly it suggests that free will is an illusion. Regardless of how our 'nows' are played out our destination is the same.
