'This right here is how I know you haven't read The Algebraist

I've read it, but wormhole portals are paradoxical as well, you can't be over there, sooner than you left here, any way you slice it.

Over there, is the distant past, if you can teleport over there, that's time travel, which is magic by default, not technology.

Wormhole portal; a Tardis by any other name.

No shekel merchant shill, it's just a short cut. It was never implied you would gain time. Only that time is relativistic.

[Smitty-48]

There's no short cuts, you can't get somewhere, sooner than you left to go there, by millions of years, any way you try to slice it.

Space and time are the same thing, that's not just distance, it's time, millions of light years is millions of years, even at lightspeed.

Even at lightspeed, by the time you get over there, that's not there anymore.

If you look at Beetlejuice in the shoulder of Orion, that's not Bettlejuice now, that's Beetlejuice 640 years ago.

Leaving wormholes aside, nobody said you would get there sooner than you left there in the Algebraist. Only that short of wormholes you could slow down the aging process by traveling at 99.99% of Light Soeed

[Smitty-48]

Traveling at 99% of the speed of light doesn't slow down the aging process, you age at the same rate, it doesn't alter your biological processes.

You don't? Well I thought you lived longer than space bound cucks. Relatively at least

That's not what time dilation means, for you, less time passes than for the observer watching you from a distance, but that's not actually slowing time down, it's speeding it up, you're going so fast, that you are compressing time, but you still can't outrun it, you can't go so fast that you get there sooner than you left to go there, light being the limiting factor.

The universe is logically consistent, it will not allow a time paradox.

[TheReal_ND]

you can't go so fast that you get there sooner than you left to go there,

Nobody said you would in the algebraist

Yes they did, Banks did, the "portals" are faster than light teleportation, which invokes a time paradox by default.

Magic, sure, OK, but technology, no.

[Smitty-48]

If I can fly through a wormhole portal, to what is the distant past, if that was a "technology", then I could turn around and use it to go back to before I left in the first place and meet myself, like Marty in Back to the Future, which is a time paradox, whether by wormhole, Tardis, or suped up time DeLorean.
