Watch a star millions of light years away blink out and you are seeing something that happened million of years ago. If you understand this you understand that time is only relative to other objects and not a master cosmic clock. Einstein's quote has nothing to do with changing the past but just the opposite.
You are suggesting that if we all concentrate on 9/11 we can change history so that 9/11 did not occur and we all would forget about it but then again how could we forget about it if we are focusing on it? I just focused on a coin toss coming up heads and it did. I think I will write a book.  |
There seems to be some questions in physics about what happens with time when you reach the speed of light.
This is an interesting aspect of the relativity of space and time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
"A case of time dilation in action is that astronauts return from missions on the International Space Station (ISS) having aged less than the mission control crew that remained on Earth. Such time dilation has been repeatedly demonstrated (see experimental confirmation below), for instance by small disparities in atomic clocks on Earth and in space, even though both clocks work perfectly (it is not a mechanical malfunction). The laws of nature are such that time itself (i.e. spacetime) will bend due to differences in either gravity or velocity—each of which affects time in different ways." from above Wikipedia Time Dilation article.
