To ask if you believe in time slips?

[midnightmeows]

I'm on the fence about woo things, however I do like reading stories.

There are lots of stories about time slip experiences, with the most well known being Bold Street, Liverpool. The stories I find interesting are when more than one person (from the 'present' time) sees the 'past' at the same time. In that case it can't be a hallucination - they're either both colluding liars or they really did see 'something'.

Has anyone had any such experiences? I suppose if such a thing exists, we could 'slip' an hour or a day into the past and not even realise.

Excellent!

Yep, they're both colluding online, where you read it.

Never heard of them but now off to research based on all these answers 😂 I have a feeling I’m in for a sleepless night like when I first heard of the Mandela Effect and ended up down a rabbit hole of research 😂

The time travel claims of the Montauk Project are largely built on the testimonies of a few individuals who have come forward with detailed but unsubstantiated accounts.

i.e. it's a load of made-up bollocks.

Sort of.

I don't believe any other conspiracy theories (really, none) but I don't see it as different to particle physics

There's so much shit we don't know, that's why we call it science

Science replicates stuff and sometimes we have to figure out after what it means

The planet is utterly incredible in the true sense of the word

No, I enjoy reading the stories people make up tell about their experiences but, much like ghost stories, I knows they’re complete bullshit.

It’s true that there is an awful lot we don’t know about space and time, but the same can be said for the human brain. Perhaps that’s where we should be looking first for explanations of strange phenomena.

well that may be, but the military are hardly going to admit that yes we can time travel for starters ?

Get them to transport me forward a few hours and I’ll get tonight’s lottery numbers.

No. But I love them when used as a device in a story. I once heard a very coherent explanation of why travel in time is impossible but can't recall it and science MAY have moved on, I suppose

just get me a copy too please

time itself from a science point of view is considered like a river than a straight arrow of time

Not everything is replicable either

Another explanation apart from time leaking like a wormhole is multiple people accessing the collective consciousness

That I definitely believe in

Yep, they're both colluding online, where you read it.

I meant that people say they saw it at the same time as another person, for example the two people who were walking on Bold Street, saw an old shop and tried to go i, and then (allegedly) turned to each other and said 'did you see that?' It was on a TV episode of Danny Robins Uncanny last year.

Nope.

Well you'd firstly have to accept the idea that every second of time that's ever passed and will ever come to pass are all going on simultaneously. Which is mind bending enough. Then you'd have to accept the possibility of moving between them and all the paradoxes that entails. And that's all too much for my brain to cope with. So I tend to go with no.

No, I do believe that people see things, but that they are more likely to be hallucinations, tricks of the light, someone dressed unusually and of course confirmation bias. Someone hearing "did you just see that?" Is much more likely to decide that they did see it, even if it isn't true.

We also look at things in a modern eye. So a painting of a young lady going out for a walk staring her prayer book would look to us like she was holding a phone. Everyone from the time would know it couldn't be anything but a prayer book.

Particle physics is about the strange behaviour of sub-atomic particles.

"Time slips" are claims that entire blocks of existence somehow moved backwards through time. It is ludicrous to extrapolate from one to another

No.

Yesterday, I learned to fly. Like Superman, you know. At the speed of light.

Yet ask the military and they will deny any knowledge of it.

Actual time travel isn't possible without space travel too, because the galaxy is moving at unimaginably high speeds through the universe, so the earth 20/40/100 years ago was thousands/millions of miles away from where it is now.

I like the idea of different dimensions existing at the same time and in the same physical space as our dimension, layered on top of each other like pages in a book. It's a fun concept to think about, and there are plenty of great stories that play with the idea.

No but I have walked up and down Bold St many times and I always think about that! I've never experienced anything unusual there though.

Is a Time Slip what happens in the movie About Time?

which is a good point and concludes with this

Don't believe in anything like that, there is no evidence for it at all. I enjoy it it in fiction though, makes a good novel
