Could Time Travel Ever Be Possible?

Does anybody want to have a discussion on this subject,which is hotly debated in the scientific world?
Have a read of what these websites have to say:

Not by us I don't think. It'd be too easy to go kill yourself, thus rendering the whole trip impossible. Some logic is too obvious to deny.

I do think it is possible to travel forward in time though. In fact at this very moment I am doing it. Or am I just existing in time and not traveling through it? Is time of a distance or is it just each singular moment? If it is the latter then it's impossible to travel forward in time like I'm currently doing. I just exist for each moment of time. I'm confused now.

I think time travel would cause a Gamma Ray Burst, leaving dust mites as the only surviving lifeforms, so I am actively against time travel.

Time travel would only be possible from the time the means to travel back in time. If i invent a time machine on tuesday.. i wouldnt be able to travel back to Monday. However, when Wednesday comes, i'd be able to travel back to Tuesday. Thats the theory.

Whatever man or woman can imagine is possible. We just haven't figured it out yet. If you read the book "Timeline," by Michael Crichton (do not see the crappy movie) it will amaze you.

Yes time travel is, has been, and will be possible.

I think there are many parallel universes playing out all the possible variations of our lives. cool

Time seems to be elastic, possibly explaining deja vu.

I always believed deja vu was simply a millisecond delay in your senses sending a message to the brain. For instance, we have two eyes and ears. If the message gets to the brain from the left ear/eye first and then - by a delay - this info is re-entered a millionth of a second later by the right half then the brain will read it as two messages. It is, but its the same occasion. If time travel is possible then why havent i come back and visted me?

Einstein's theory of relativity proves that it's possible to go forward in time. As for going back, dunno.

i don't think so, not really. because there would be too much displacement.

but i think that if we could travel fast enough we would be able to see events that happened in the past.

and i think that once we figure out dimensionality we will be able to travel to parallel dimensations that resemble ours, except for minor differences. maybe even to dimensions of this world that are still in medeival times. hmmm dunnot for sure though smile

I think the only way time travel could be accomplished is if we figure out how to go faster than the speed of light. I also think that If Black Holes exist and if the Concepts of Worm Holes are correct, Time Travel would be possible.

But with my limited understanding, it seems like going faster than the speed of light would only make time appear to go backwards, just as the sound of a distant plane appears to be behind the plane because sound moves slower than light.

No discussion of time travel is complete without mentioning the TimeCube. If you haven't been to this website, GO NOW. Then, when you quit laughing, come back!

www.timecube.com

I call down a Demonic Curse upon the Evil
Americans who ignore Earth's 4 Corner Days
within a single rotation of 4 quadrant Earth.
Believing in a God when there is proof that
there is no God, dooms humanity to a Hell
of Horror. America is 1/2 way to it's Hell.
The American "Bill of Rights" - "Freedom of
Speech", is BullShit. MisEducators suppress
The Time Cube Principle and will not allow
Students to discuss or debate it's merits and
application. Also, the Academic bastards
will not even allow Time Cube on their web
sites. On Yahoo, Time Cube - 81,000,000
and on Google was once 89,000,000 - until
cut back to 3,000,000 by ignorant believers.


A demonic curse?!? AAAAIIIIEEEEE!!!!!

I don't know much on the subject, however what if time travel is possible and suppose you go back to year 1880 then would you really go back to that year or some other version of it?

this reminds me of that cult that killed themselves about 11 years ago, they all made a pact and killed themselves on their compound wearing the same thing and draped in a black cloth. They were suppose to come back in their spaceship. confuse

Today, I subscribe to the theory, "you can't unfry an egg", somethings once done you can't reverse. But who knows, maybe one day they might figure out how to unfry an egg, once that happens then I think time would be in our power to manipulate.

I agree, I don't believe it's possible, at least not in a way where we could be isolated from the effects of time's reversal. If time goes backwards, so do we, otherwise there could be great consequences to the space time continuum!!!!!
