Do you think Time Travel is really possible?

I did not until I found out (taking into account the Deja Vu movie) that some mathematicians and scientists are beginning to captur time within mathematics and starting a time-flip over (wtf at this point)....is it real? Will we be able to see humanity go back in time???

btw the movie was crap

Yes, one day. not in our genaration.

Teleporting as such, yes this is very possible, once qauntim computers hit the mainstream.
They ave already send an object across thin air. What is needed is a V. powerfull computer to track every single cell in your body.

Its all about quantim physics.

There's no way this can happen. I don't think even in the future the smartest scientists can do this. Impossible.

But that doesn't mean that time traveling doesn't exist. Isn't the black holea form of time traveling?No one has proof this can happen obviously because nobody went through a black hole before.LOL! :P

I think that right now, time travel is possible, but only for going into the future.

If it were possible, then why arn't we seeing visitors from the future? Why havn't we attained information from scientists born one million years later? Time travel will never be possible, maybe travelling into the far future will be, but it definetely can't be done backwards. . However Einstein mentioned something about the past, present and future co-existing at the same time.

I don't think human teleportation will ever be possible. But if it were, we'd be able to store humans as raw data on computer hard drives, which means it would also be possible to clone hundreds of the same person. However I do believe it will be possible to create short cuts in space as in like a 'wormhole'.

Nope...not possible. LJSEXAY

Yes, I'm actually traveling through time in one second intervals right now :PPickGlove243

That means you see life in 1 frame per second, time for a cpu upgrade :P

Just ask yourself, if time travel were possible, why havent we run into a scientist from 5 thousand years in the future? There are only 2 answers to this question, both dissappointing:

1st answer: Time Travel is impossible

2nd Answer: Something very bad happens to humanity before we get the chance to invent time travel.

i thought it's already been proven to be possible. Though whether the romantic vision of time travel is possible or not is another and far less likely question.

Wait, did that even make sense?

Or it's impossible to travel back through time........

Theoretically speaking,it is possible to travel forward in time,perhaps by a significant amount of time.According to Einstein,the stronger the gravitational pull,the slower time moves.One possible way to travel in the future is to find a black hole (with gravity so immense,light can't escape),and build a ship that can somehow withstand the intense radiation and pressure.You could then fly close enough to the black hole so that you don't get sucked into to its event horizon (impossible to escape),but yet you experience intense gravity.Theoretically,you would age slower as the world on Earth with age faster,so when you return to Earth,everything could have been aged by a few years while you are essentially the same age.This is only from theories from what I've read,so I'm not sure if this is possible.:wink:

As for traveling back in time,it will never happen,as traveling back in time could cause paradoxs in history,and I haven't read anything so far on traveling back in time (only forward).>_>

That however would change the future, meaning that we could had even not existed, thus disappear. :?

Good point

It is thoeretically possible to travel forward in time, as, much like the gravitational slowdown mentioned above, the faster you go, the slower time gets. Once you reach the speed of light, time stops and your mass (not weight, poor misconception) becomes infinate. If a ship reaches the speed of light, you spin it at a very fast rate to twist the spacetime continuum and crazy magic happens. Obviously I don't understand it, but that is essentially how it works. Speed of light + spinning very fast = time travel. Apparently you've 'just' got to create a gap in the fabric of spacetime and manipulate it. Obviously easier said than done, but the science is there, even if the technology isn't.

Unfortunately, it seemsbackward time travel is impossible with the current laws of physics, but they are subject to change, and Einsteins Theory of Relativity may yet be proven wrong, or in the least, flawed.

EDIT: In reply to the 'why haven't we seen someone from the future' scenario, have you not considered that we understand the fact that interference would be catastrophic? A ship that is capable of time travel is likely to have cloaking technology, or some other technology we can't even comprehend yet. Not to mention the fact that any would be time traveller isn't going to wander the streets declaring to the past that he is from the future and that everyone should ignore him and get on with things....Subtlety is the key here.

Yes, I'm actually traveling through time in one second intervals right now :PPickGlove243

No your not you just think you are, seaconds dont really exist in that way.

No you're not - you're moving with time, rather than ahead of or against time.

yes it can be done

no we wont be able to do it

You beat me to it. :(

But seriously, I think it's possible. Just the other day, I was playing Animal Crossing, and I set the time 48 years in the future, and it worked, so time travel must be real. Funny how the only new invention 48 years from now is anti-aging cream (all the shop-owners and other major NPC's are exactly the same), and apparently my town's population doesn't change either.

Before you ask if time travel is possible, you have to ask what is time in the universal sense. Time as humans understand it is a measurement and not an object or even a dimension. Time is simply what humans use to measure change. Is there even really such a thing as time? I don't necessarily believe time exists outside of human's minds. On to the question of rather time travel is possible. Essentially, what that means is...is it possible to travel through change, and that, I believe, isn't possible.
