tractrix time travel - 07-10-2005, 02:59 PM

a double tractrix generate a pseudosphere. The joint can represent the present pseudosphere of a given radius, the two infinitely extended ends represent past and future. A cylinder can be made to intersect the pseudosphere at a negative (past) circle and a positive (future) circle. If the radius of the cylinder is equal to the radius of the pseudosphere then past, present and future are the same, but if the radius of the cylinder is less then a reality exists between past, present and future. The reality of time travel within the cylinder into the past and into the future back and forth to the present. If the radius of the cylinder is zero then travel between infinite past and infinite future is possible.
