Is time travel possible?

[lsbd]

Time travel is not only possible, it is happening all around us. I travel through time on a daily basis.

Of course the problem is traveling forward at more than 1x speed (absent a very fast spaceship) or backwards at all. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I travel through time, at 1x speed, every single day of my life. I am doing it as we speak. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

Of course that all goes out the window the day they find a T-Rex fossil with a .458 magnum buried in its skull <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Some say black holes are source for time travel?<br />Is it that time travel can have a close relation to time travel? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <strong><font size="2"><p align="center"><br /><img id="a9529085-d63d-481e-9277-832ea5d58917" src="http://sitelife.space.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/9/2/a9529085-d63d-481e-9277-832ea5d58917.Large.gif" alt="blog post photo" /><br /><font color="#339966">Oops! this is my alien friend.</font></p><p align="center"><font color="#ff6600">╬→Ť╠╣є ’ M€ ’<br />╬→ Ðôŵņ2Ëãřŧĥ ๑<br />╬→ ЙДm€ :Varsha<br /></font></p></font></strong> </div>

If time can be slowed down, it would be hypothetically possible to reverse it, each element in this universe should have an inverse, if not things would not exist. This is why I believe time travel is possible. However, travelling at great speeds through spacetime, and not aging is not considered time travel, you are still the same age, and everything else is aging. I think relatively speaking, it would be difficult to travel through time. If every object, atom, energy, etc was at one certain instance in space time and continously changing, it would most likely be necessary to counteract and reverse the effect of all these states. Possible, but almost impossible to complete. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> You may be a genius, but google knows more than you! </div>

Cherry2:<br />Some say black holes are source for time travel? <br />Is it that time travel can have a close relation to time travel?<br /><br />Me:<br />The problem here is some say. Nobody has ever even seen a black hole, much less actually know what a black hole can or cannot do. This is similar to wormholes which are also postulated to be gateways to other parts of the Universe or other Universes. Problem is, these are theories based largely on the mathematics of cosmology. No hard evidence. We have only recently been able to demonstrate that black holes even exist so were a little ways from proving what they can or cannot do.<br /><br />Consider that the nearest BH is thought to be a giant one in the center of the Milky Way. It would be impossible right now to even get to it, much less use it for time travel. We know of no black holes nearby relatively speaking.<br /><br />At this point, its all the stuff of speculation and theory. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life.

Ahhh, Time Travel, a subject near and dear to my heart. <br />The theories surrounding it are abundant and far reached. Blackholes, time machines and so on seem to dominate the field. A lot of people close their minds to the possibilty of going forward or back. A lot of people believe in what this or that Scientist says about it. I tend to lean towards the ones who have an open mind. I have a small theory myself, although lately a friend of mine and I have stumbled upon another one and are looking into that too, but for now I'll share mine, and remember, it's only a theory. <br />Let me start by saying that time in and of itself was well defined by Einstein as an illusion, no matter how persistent it is. I always liked him because he wasn't exactly one to "follow along". I'm that way myself. <br />Given his statement, I've also considered the subject of "time-travel" as a very viable option. Actually, more than likely, already accomplished. All part of "hidden secrets" as I'm sure some of you know what I mean. <br /><br />Anyhow, I've always liked to view time as a field, with various points on that field being different events in our lives. The "traveling" part then to be accomplished by being able to reach out to the different areas of this field. What is the field? The field would be you. The events on the field would be "time points" for lack of a better term. Time points as in seconds, miuntes, days, weeks, years and so on, as measured by us humans. <br /><br />A gentleman by the name of Herman Minkowski came up with a set of calculations that were quite interesting, (even though I don't like to rely soley on mathematical calculations). Namely, that all our past and futures meet at a single point, and that being "Now". Considering this and given the field theory, it would all make sense. Of course, we all still age don't we? "Time" seems to march on. All part of this illusion. I think the central point in all of this is, to get beyond the illusi

[kirti_astronomer]

but dont u think it would be great if it were possible? i mean we could go back into our past and correct the eerors that we commited , we could rectify the mistakes man made due to which we are facing these environmental problems. and of course it would be kind of a fun too for adventurous people. but there are its diadvantages too. there are people in the socirty who can misuse this benefit. but of course all this is possible only IF we could travel back in time

hi i m also a new user.And i want to clear that i do believe that the multiple histories occur,that is parallel universe exists.<br />when i see dreams i get an idea that the concept parallel universe is very much related to our dreams.my thought is,"our body is made of cells and cells too r the blocks of atom.like our dna,brain cells.And we know that these atoms r ruled by quntum.Now what we see in dreams r of much like scenes that r out of imagination or may be like our own life.On the other way,the concept of parallel universe says that they r many and r present all our around.<br />Now the point is may be our dreams r totally connected to these worlds.since there r many universes around us and our brain make a near contact with them and in our dreams we see the life of other universes. <br />But tell me what is the reason of existence of other universe.why?

imverygood_0000:<br />But tell me what is the reason of existence of other universe.why?<br /><br />Me:<br />Scientists do not actually know if there are other Universes, its all hypothetical at this point, including all the talk about time travel.

imverygood_0000<br /><br />Welcome to SDC. It would really help us here if you were to use capitals and punctuation. Most of us are very old and decrepit, mostly in our 20's and above. Many of us use walkers and O2 bottles, but have full keyboards and spell checkers, and we type as if our words might be archived for the next 1000 years, which they probably will. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p> </div>

I once saw a movie where this company had a time machine that could go into the past. They used it for hunting BIG animals. aka dinosaurs. In it they calculated thier entry point to be at a place where nothing would get changed. This being enabled by anti grav units and such. In the movie the hunter that had payed for one of these hunting trips was told to NEVER get off the gang plank they used to step outside the time machine. That he was suppose to stay on it while shooting the dinosaur. Well a T-Rex came along and the guy became so frightened that he did step off of it. Aftwards (everyone having shot the T-Rex they traveled back to thier time. Only to find that the Nazis had won the war and was in control of everything, including the US where they were based. When they looked at the hunter he looked down and they all noticed that he had stepped on a butterfly. Stepping on and killing this butterfly is what caused the time change. (yes they ignored the fact that killing the T-Rex could have changed it also) <br /><br />Basically the moral of the story was that going into the past is dangerous beyond measure since even the littlest change could bring about huge changes to the future. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#ffff00"><p><font color="#3366ff">I have an answer for everything...you may not like the answer or it may not satisfy your curiosity..but it will still be an answer.</font> <br /><font color="#ff0000">"Imagination is more important then Knowledge" ~Albert Einstien~</font> <br /><font color="#cc99ff">Guns dont kill people.

qso 1,<br /><br />Some of us are also so deaf, like me, that I JUST upgraded from my "ear-horn", (like that thing from the RCA dog adver.), to a real hearing aid.<br /><br />Now, I can really use that selective hearing defense, "what was that you said, my batteries are running low." <br /><br />I wonder which me on a different world can hear a pin drop a mile away. You know there always has to be a better you somewhere else.

Kalstang,<br /><br />I just read your response to Cherry 2, and her posting from last year. I LOVE time travel books, most movies, and such things. The movie you talked about got me to think about 2 different ones. The first part of your description reminded me of a work called, "A sound of thunder", and it was a takeoff on a short story by Bradbury. I first heard it on a book tape, and found myself liking it a lot. But I think time is a little tougher to change than what they said. The movie was a recent one from a couple of years ago, and they had trouble making it. The finished work never made it to the theater, but was released to video, and it shows. But it is a good movie to watch anyway, (outside the problems it has), and has some good evolutional changes to the species, including mankind. I bought it for $10, and for that price, it was worth it.<br /><br />But their plot was that time changes came in waves, like the ancient movie Millenum(sp) with Cheryll Ladd, and changed things in four(?) waves, and I definitely do not consider that as a possibility. The ending of your move description sounded like another movie called, The Philadelphia Experiment 2", and was really just a sequel to the first one, and not much better then just a sequel. But it had someone taking a stealth bomber to Hitler in hopes of Germany winning the war, but they didn't. It also is not good enough to offer a spoiler alert.<br /><br />When did you see your movie, and can you recall what it was called? As to the T-Rex being killed, in Bradbury's book they went ahead in time and found only those dino's that were going to die soon anyway, example, a tree falling on them, or lighting striking them or such like.<br /><br /> Another favorite oldie is "Final Countdown", where the USS Enterprise goes back in time to Dec 6, 1941, and faces all the problems and troubles a modern ship would face then, ( should we engage, and what would it do to the timeline, or can we just stand by and watch the Pearl H
