Past events by whose clock?  |

I used the Hyper Dimensional Resonator to travel to the year 2319 and was told by the leading experts in the field that time travel was undeniably impossible. I couldn't get back to tell anyone.

I know that your story is not true, because you would only use a standard dimensional resonator to travel to 2319, not the hyper version. |

My apologies. Poorly written.
The resonator wasn't hyper, I was. |

Prince,
Past events by either clock! The effect you're talking about is nothing more than a "time of flight" problem. It really has nothing to do with relativity, other than the fact that the speed of light is constant.

Time travel into the past was discussed on this evening's episode of The Universe.

I haven't seen China, but I believe it exists. |

I just created another thread, not realizing this one was here. I'll post the same question. I use to be a SCUBA diver and it always seemed that I was underwater for just a few minutes, only to find that I had been diving for 20 to 30 minutes. Other divers had same experience.
last night I was watching The Universe on History channel and Dr. Mallett is working on time travel using light as source of energy. The program stated the light travels slower in water than it does in air.
Could the difference in light speed correlate with my experience?

It's any interesting effect. I've noticed a somewhat smiliar effect although in a different set of circumstances.
Have you ever noticed how slowly time seems to pass when the lights are out and you're putting in your obligatory "spoon time" before rolling over and going to sleep ??
