Sliders was the closest thing to showing what would actually happen if someone built a machine which could recreate the sum of past energy at any given moment.

One would be forced into a parallel universe. (Actually parallel is a misnomer as this universe would be only similar FREQUENCY-wise as the sum of all energy within it at any moment would have been as close as the machine was capable of tapping or recreating.)

There is absolutely no way anyone can travel into the past or the future of a world (aka set of energy wave forms in constant flux) from this spectra.

Also just setting a date or time period is preposterous - as this date would require a comprehensive frequency map to accompany it. So naturally one could not even go into a parallel universe until such point as existing frequencies were being actively recorded. (In other words if we started recording planetary fundamental frequencies today - in some future time we could pick and choose any time to recreate back until this moment)

Likewise the location the frequencies are recorded will be different for each point in time and space. So the location of the recorder would be the fixed location for reappearance. (one cannot record the frequencies from New York and suddenly go back in time and appear in California)

Naturally, one would appear in a frequency-similar universe in a chamber where frequencies are also likely being recorded and the world should, theoretically, be a near clone of the world one departed.

However, all these people would be different and from the moment one arrives everything will likely be vastly different from the way things proceeded in the "origin universe's" past. Because its not simply what that universe-hopper does that matters - but the insertion of his fundamental base rate frequency into the mix changes everything - all other energy.

All energy is linked. You cannot superimpose a new signal on existing signals and have no drastic change in ALL the other signals. Yes, from the moment that person arrives - everyone's life changes.

However, unlike time travel which is impossible - so-called "parallel" universe travel IS possible.

Yes all the time-streams are not occuring simultaneously, but rather simply through frequency relationship these parallel universes are reached through space and time.

All is energy. Once one truly understands this the mysteries of time and space dissolve into an understanding of frequency relationship of energy in flux.

(Which explains my appearance here... ;-)

The future is drastically altered but the fundamental principles of infinite energy remain the same.

Think about it...some other world much like earth knows all the secrets of galaxies, planet formation, star energy channeling and even the continuity of consciousness in its myriad of forms and evolutionary adjustments.

Just like anyone here could travel into a parallel past and know about electricity, cars, planes and computers. In 1600 these folks would be considered magicians or sorcerers. In 1000 bc they would be considered Godlike.

The only way one could travel into the future would be to encounter another "traveler" from farther into the future who had in his possession the recorded frequencies of his world.

Like sliders, returning home would be problematic. From the moment one leaves - the time stream continues and so returning would require a nanosecond, ultracomprehensive reading of the frequencies as one leaves. Because one could only come back at the instant one left - in essence not having been gone at all.

However...all the new frequencies which have been recorded into your structure since you left (which is constantly in a state of evolutionary flux) would mean that returning would be a problem.

Because the frequencies are no longer a perfect match. Indeed, the longer one stays away - the greater the difficulty in returning.

Likely - one could never return and would find oneself constantly emerging in very similar parallel universes.

Sliders is the only show I know that has even come close to having a scientific handle on what would occur. Unfortunately the shows plots went downhill fast and they turned it into a cheap horror type show before it was plugged.

Naturally, everyone here was dying to know this drawn out explanation ;-)
