Ways of time travelling

Recommended Posts

I always wondered, how did the time circuit in BttF see which year is which? And the most important question is how the Time Train did.

OK, so the TARDISes travel in the Time Vortex, the Time Machine simply "rewinds" and "forwards" time.

How many else ways of time traveling do you remember?

You are not thinking fourth dimensionally! :lol: The Time Machine's (DMC) Time Circuits would probably convert numbers to some kind a "other information" and syncing with Flux Capacitor travel in time... Have no idea for Time Train...

The original idea of the move was a fridge instead of DeLorean! :P

It's a movie/TV show thing. There's no clear explanation about how they really work, unless the directors and/or the writers speak out more about them.

And Doctor Who and BTTF have no similarities other than time travel. The DeLorean doesn't go to a "Time Vortex". Simply just using that idea will make creating wormholes useless or pointless in a way. It follows a more scientific theoretical way of time travel than having Time Vortexes. Wormholes create a rip throug the entire space-time continuum (that involves all 4 dimensions, including time) to allow 4th-dimensional travel, and building a wormhole is in fact already involve creating a sort of "bridge" to connect the two wormholes together. Albert Einstein made up the entire wormhole theory, and even the entire idea of time travel itself, in the first place. Doc Emmett Brown himself and his dog may possible be references to Albert Einstein.

The Time Vortex is a different thing. It's more of a different dimension, possibly the "5th dimension" where the 4th dimension is time (this is the reason why I wanted the multiplayer mod to be named "Back to the Future: The Fourth Dimension", the subtitle refers to the time dimension), or an alternate reality or universe where the TARDIS pass through to time travel. In Doctor Who, the Time Vortex itself maybe a part of the universe (like I said, it can be the "5th dimension" which as sort of a master to the 4th) that the Doctor just passes through to time travel. In a special episode in the series, the TARDIS of the 10th Doctor, who forgot to activate its shields, crashed to the TARDIS of the 5th Doctor, his "past self", who happens to be traveling in the same Time Vortex. And the TARDIS itself doesn't create wormholes -- it just makes a gateway to the Time Vortex to allow time travel.
