[SERIOUS] How to achieve time travel (With Diagrams)

[BoKnows]

So I'm sitting at home just finished eating dinner and then I had this moment of genius. I think I figured out time travel and it is quite easy to do! The only issue with this is that we can only go forwards and not backwards, and only a few people can do it every 10 years. Now I know that I have all of you at the edge of your seats with this so I'll get on with it. The solution is that we build a giant slingshot, like the biggest slingshot you've ever seen. This slingshot will launch you so quickly and so far into space that it will cause time dilation! If we launch you quick enough this ride will take 1 minute your time, but 10 years Earth time. Please look at the graphics I have created for you.

 

We just need to make a special suit and capsules so that we don't die during the flight. Please note that these renderings aren't to scale.

Academics will now disregard peer-reviewed journals and refer exclusively to this.

Okay, This Is Epic 

[Qwags]

I will be forwarding this to my contacts at NASA.

[Baer.]

Ok....who peed in the water....

[Nucker 67]

you had me at slingshot

This is the most relevant post this offseason.

Holy Sh!t...Bo does Know everything.

Figuring dark matter and fusion energy will be next.

Don't forget to bring us back a Stanley cup team from the Future!

It would appear that someone added the wrong kind of mushrooms to their dinner.

So my 20 years working on a flux capacitor is all for nothing!!?!?!?!?!

Pretty sure the only thing around me dilating will be my pupils.  Every other opening will likely be squeezed tightly shut, including my mouth (I'm not a screamer on rollercoaster, I clam up and grind my teeth).

 

So yeah.  Count me out, I'll take my time organically, thankyouverymuch.

Ahh man I was hoping that you'd be on my maiden voyage

Time is probably not linear.

[4petesake]

I hate to break it to you but I have been working on this for years. Some of my best work involves slingshots. Still a few kinks to iron out but it should be ready to go…any minute now.

An atomic clock can prove this here on earth.

 

from Google...

 

 For example, a clock on top of a tall mountain will move a tiny bit faster than a clock at the base of that mountain, where the gravity is stronger

Based my idea off of this, I just don't know what the correct scientific terminology is.

Makes me think of the 'twin paradox'

...Twin paradox, an apparent anomaly that arises from the treatment of time in German-born physicist Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity. ... According to relativity, time runs more slowly on her spacecraft than it does on Earth; therefore, when she returns to Earth, she will be younger than her Earth-bound sister.
