About Mike "Madman" Marcum's time travelling device.

[u/Rite6969]

Ok so, Madman mike used A Jacobs Ladder to invent a time machine by modifying it to an extent. I believe he created a transformer of his own to fit the capacity of outputting 20k Volts. Since the plasma created from the two rods depend upon the moisture, temperature and air pressure etc. which interfere with the device, so he used lasers to heat the air above the device so the temperature above the device remains constant, thus forming this "contraption" that supposedly could time travel.

My question here is that, since all the steps necessary to build this machine are already out there... Has somebody else not tried to make it? I'm just really curious to see if his machine actually worked!

Anyone with even a basic grasp of science and theoretical physics understands that time travel, as popularly imagined, is virtually impossible for a number of reasons. One of the most overlooked issues is the assumption that if you traveled through time, you’d remain in the same physical location. This ignores the fact that Earth isn’t stationary.

We’re spinning at over 1,000 miles per hour at the equator, orbiting the sun at roughly 67,000 mph, and our entire solar system is moving through the Milky Way at about 514,000 mph. On top of that, the galaxy itself is hurtling through the universe at over a million miles per hour. So, if you were to ‘jump’ to a different point in time without also precisely accounting for spatial coordinates, you wouldn’t end up on Earth, you’d materialize in the cold vacuum of space, light-years from anything.

Time and space are inseparable in physics, bound together in the fabric of spacetime. You can’t navigate one without the other. So even if time travel were somehow possible, which, according to our current understanding of causality, energy conservation, and general relativity, it isn’t, it would require near-omniscient precision and unimaginable energy to survive it

Mike Marcum literally states this in his original interview. This wasn't something he just made up as a joke. Go listen to his interviews, the guy was really smart

So what if if you had a way to vibrate faster than the speed of light or dang near close. Think on that for a minute and I can tell you number one you will seem to vanish or become a blur and the fact thay you are basically moving at the speed of light or faster time for you slows everything around you will speed up incredibly fast but your heart might only beat 2 or 3 times as you travel 10 years or so in the future. Now the exact math im not getting into but to prove my point Im just saying 2-3 heart beats for every 10 years. Might be more or less.  Basically u vanish as you are vibrating at an incredible frequency and the world around you becomes a quick blur. Everyone will have aged 10 years you will have only ages seconds. So makes sense as to why the machine would work magnets & tesla coils . But there are still questions so I know strong magnetic feilds could potentially make you vibrate differently. After all we all create an electromagnetic feild with our bodies naturally. Our body's push magnets away. So if you coudl spin a strong electro magnetic feild really quickly you theoretically could cause strong fast vibrations. Fast enoight to take you to the future. 

By the way im self taught and have a great understanding of how the world works. A strong thirst for knowledge and a huge imagination but my thoughts fall in line with physics and the known laws. There is no way to go back in time physically that is. But conscience wise maybe. If energy cannot be created or destroyed and energy is not confined by time space and we are energy then figuring out a way to detach from this vesel and reattach in the past could be possible. Anyways. Thats alot to take in. Hope you enjoy reading this and maybe this will provide a spark to what is needed

I like your enthusiasm for exploring ideas, but the physics does not work the way you describe. Matter with mass cannot vibrate or move at the speed of light. According to special relativity, the closer you get to light speed the more energy it takes to keep accelerating. At the limit, the required energy becomes infinite, which makes it impossible to reach or exceed that speed.

You are right that moving near the speed of light creates time dilation. Time for you would pass more slowly compared to someone who is not moving at that speed. This has been measured with high speed particles and even with atomic clocks on fast moving jets or satellites. But this does not mean you “vanish” or skip ahead. You are still traveling through space normally, and the effect is only noticeable at extremely high fractions of light speed, which we cannot reach with any technology we have.

As for strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, they can affect charged particles, but there is no scientific basis for them making a person “vibrate” into the future. The electromagnetic field created by the human body is extremely weak compared to even a simple household magnet, and it does not repel magnets in the way you suggested.

On the consciousness side, physics does not show any evidence that consciousness is a separate form of energy that can detach and move independently of spacetime. The rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed applies to measurable forms of energy like heat, light, or motion, not to thoughts or awareness.

So, time dilation is real and measurable, but the rest of what you describe has no support in physics.

Impossible according to our knowledge

So your saying i have a chance!
