To quote The Alan Parsons Project:

"Time, flowing like a river"

As much as I love the concept I agree with people here that time is a nontangible thing. It flows outward and away from our grasp.

Thought may be outside the bounds of time as time is commonly considered. In quantum dynamics, time may not even exist. In the macro universe, things follow Einsteinian physics or the block universe model with the concept of the arrow of time.

My daughter’s room has good space vibes. I got most of it from Chapters, funny enough. If you PM me, I can send you a bunch of links.

ive always thought about this. the existence of a connection between past and future is hard to prove in itself but, if we were to find a way....it would never be known to us. imagine telling the entire world that they could just zap right back or ahead to time.

If you put white paint on a paint brush and flick the bristles, it creates pretty nice looking stars. The second method in this video:

Maybe use a dark color that glows under black light for some of the stars. Cool lesson to show that not objects in space are seen using the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

it was also p cheap - just a few tins of paint, a roller, and then a cheap brush or sponge for the stars

im not home right now but i’ll see if i can find a picture to attach. it only took about two or three days, and i just put old sheets over other furniture so didn’t have to do any major moving. i just did deep blue with gold and silver “stars” - mostly at random but added some constellations i like. i’m in grad school now (for biology) and would probably not love a big nasa sticker on my wall anymore but the sky is timeless and i still love seeing it when i visit home

Turning 7. I would imagine if nothing else a star ceiling would last the longestl

If you want to hide the stars you can get just the pigment powder on ebay or such and mix it with the wall/celing paint color already there.

Nope, keeping this for me ;-)

I do like the blueprint idea. Is there a magnetic Kerbal Space Program style rocket builder? Hmmm

NASA has a wonderfully evocative series of 14 posters illuminating a grand tour of the solar system, shown at

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galleries/visions-of-the-future

They are free to use, designed to be printed at a 20 by 30 inches size, and could be printed and placed on the wall in a poster frame. They might be something that she could grow into over the years, perhaps starting first with one in her current favorite colour scheme?

I feel that they capture a wholesome and optimistic view of exploration very well, and are inspirational.

Good idea. I can pass those off as present ideas as well

Sure, You'd never find earth though. And you'd need a telescope the size of a planet at least, and even that probably won't be big enough.

I’d add in some space themed lego sets she can build and then display.

i painted a galaxy on my ceiling in 9th grade - how old is your daughter? it might be fun to involve her

You can either buy or DIY ceiling tiles with fiber optic wires poking through. You can get your own starfield (My kids pediatrician has this)

I’m responding to you in the present, 1 hour your future. And to answer your future question, 42.

I thought this was already proven as a yes to some degree with extreme mass objects bending spacetime. In the case of two blackholes bending spacetime so badly you could be in the future and present at the same time.

Its just not practically feasible for our civilization.

Place "Time travel" as visited in science fiction on the back burner for a moment. There's a problem already.

So many of these comments throughout reddit are saying we are currently traveling forward in time, or that there is a travel forward that is "faster than normal".

What is, is. In the cases of things aging differently (from speed or gravity), there is no change in forward travel. The state at every time slice has dilated, nothing more.
