Reverse time?
« on: July 02, 2011, 01:52:23 PM »
I think this may be a bit more tricky than it first seems, but would it be possible to reverse time in a later version?  I've had a number amazing situations occur, which I'd love to see again, and examine in more detail, but once they're done, they're gone for good.  It'd be great to be able to rewind the last few minutes or so.  Any chance?

You can, but if an object was lost, it will cause the calculations to be different

You could put your idea on the idea list. It sounds like a useful idea of course :P

It's not misplaced imo.

Time reversal is an interesting idea (and easier said than done).

I'll consider the idea for sure!

@AndyShell This topic made me try if this was possible, and I found out while using Universe Sandbox that you could actually reverse time by putting a negative sign in the simulation timescale. However, the time clock would not function properly and give the exact date that meets the simulation.
I hope this could easly be fixed in the next version. We would also love if the machine could actually reassemble a simulation by tweeking the clock rather then adding and subtracting timescales. @DanDixon,

By the way, I am a reeeeallly big fan of the Universe Sandbox <3. I wish you the best .

Kind regards

It might be kinda hard to get a planet to split after (or should I say before) a massive collision though. The idea sounds cool though lol
