I sat down with Daniel Dye, an 18 year old MCHS graduate soon to be majoring in either computer engineering or quantum physics, and here’s what he had to say. Q: In your opinion, what is time? A: Time is what one makes of it. There is no constant. There is no pattern. It is simply a way for man to cope with the irregularities of the universe. Q: Irregularities of the universe? A: Irregularities like time, which can be different for all mankind, and then be the same just a moment later. That a race so new has tried to make order in a place that knows only chaos. Q: And what about the possibility of time travel? A: I think that it’s possible, however, I do not think that time travel should be attempted until after all of mankind understands the paradoxes of time. Q: How could time travel be achieved? A: First, prove the existence of the tacions, a particle that exists beyond the speed of light. Once done, we would have to harness and replicate that power. Q: What about traveling through a black hole? A: If possible, I feel that it would be a method of dimension folding. However, I don’t think it would be intelligent because creating black holes to travel would ruin our ability to navigate the universe. Q: Dimension folding? A: It has been said the shortest distance between point A and point B is a straight line, however that is not true. Dimension folding is where you take point A and point B and fold the space to where there is only a gap in distance. Q: So you believe in alternate dimensions and universes? A: Yes, because for every choice, there is an alternate option, and there is an alternate universe for every possible option. Q: So, are all events in all parallel universes occurring simultaneously? A: I feel that all events within our universe are happening at the same time. Believing that, this is a fundamental rule that would exist in all universes. So with all events happening at the same “time”, the answer would be yes. When asked if he feared people would attempt to disprove his theories, he responded: A theory can not be disproved, only alternate theories can be created.
