However, if you go faster than the speed of sound, do we heareverything backwards? No, so why should we see or travel backwards if we exceed the speed of light?

Time itself is a force that, does everything it can to keep from collapsing on itself. Not physical, thus, we can\'t defy it. Gravity? no Atoms make up Gravity, yet when we lift our limbs, we have defied it. Planes, birds, NASA They defy it all the time

If we went into the past, then in order to prevent a paradox, an alternate universe would be created. your universe would remain the same, but the ahnges would be applied to an alternate future. Which one you would back travel to I\'m not certain.

yeah sure you can go back and forward in time.... my ass..... its not possible.....i cant go back in time and talk to benjiman franklin....he is dead. if anybody saw the movie paycheck... time trravel if possible would destroy lives and take the fun out of them......but there is that one guy in the news that claims he\'s from the future but imnot believeing it

What about this theory?

My views...
There is one aspect in the possibility of time travel that I believe none of you have yet mentioned, that being black holes.

Time travel is very possible in theory. It is simply the means in which to acheive such a feat that are near, if not, impossible.
However, by manipulating black holes\' gravity, one can in effect, travel years back into the past.

Theoretic steps to building a time machine:

1. Get super ultra powerful rocket.
2. Fly super ultra powerful rocket into space, encounter black hole.
3. Fly super ultra powerful rocket near black hole, lure black hole towards near by planet. Black hole is lured to planet by gravity.
4. Fly super ultra powerful rocket down around black hole, around and around. Each complete cycle adds one \'twist\' to the now \'tunnel like\' hole.
5. Go into black hole. If your super ultra powerful rocket can get through the black hole without being spaghettified, you\'re now in the past. How far you may ask? Well, for every \'twist\' in the black hole, that\'s one year back into the past.

However, I am unsure about going into the future. I came across this theory while doing some research into the matter.

Personally, I think it\'s possible.

Einstein, I hear, was close to discovering the true theory of time travel. They have books on it all over the place over here. I think his work has something to do with the force of gravity, worm holes, and some other things.

I think it\'s pretty possible to travel to the past, but how can you travel to the future if it hasn\'t even happened yet? Like if there even were dimensions for every instance of time, there couldn\'t really be a dimension for the future since it hasn\'t been made yet. Infact, the future practically doesn\'t exist cause that period of time doesn\'t exist until it happens, and when it does happen it can\'t be called the future because it\'s in the present.

[font=comic sans ms]I honestly don\'t know about time travel anymore, quite frankly. It makes the brain hurt and the blood boil.

I think that even if time travel WAS possible, we shouldn\'t tamper with it. The future is not set, but if we make something catostrophic happen in the future, we will obviously catch up to that event. As for the past, even if we went back, we wouldn\'t be able to change anything, except the destruction of the universe. Say you went back to stop, say, the creation of a major organisation. You kill all the people forming the company in the past, mission succeeded. But since you killed them, the company never was founded, you never knew about it, and therefore the timeline would reset. You\'d keep killing them forever in time, and eventually it would happen so much the timeline would collapse. Not so fun-sounding, ne?

So, basically, we should not tamper with the very fabric of space and time. That would be...unwise...[/font]

[errors ahead]

I started this topic last year...but you can read it anyway

Is Time Travel Possible?


Anyway...You don\'t defy gravity, you over power it.
[you know who said that...I forgot name]

Annnd....there aren\'t any black holes within our reach at the moment...

and I\'m leaning more to the Einstein Theory.

Annnnd...for those of you too lazy to click on that topic, here\'s my starting post:

Well, perhaps some misunderstood my latest post. I don\'t belive in time travel, as of now. I see why many people would, but I am still critical of it. And I hold true to my theory that time travel would just lead to pointless re-livings of one\'s life with no change, or worse yet, paradoxes (I\'m still trying to live down those of Bob and George).:eek:

I think Wolram is right in saying this:

to tell you the truth my dad told me that meteors can time travel because they go so fast so i bet if you can go very fast it is possible to time travel. im just curiose but how do you think celebie time travels? with speed, what about amelia earheart?

i think this is total mumbo jumbo ..... you guys have been watching too many science fiction movies and playing excessive amounts of majora\'s mask

Prove us wrong though, why can\'t my theory be correct? It\'s just as correct as your anti- stance.

::Is it possible?::

Well yes, as the Doc. already said, we can see into the past to a certain extent becuse of the way light travels. Thanks to that fun little man that said E=MC² we know however that you can not travel faster than light. If you COULD than you would possilby be able to slip past the barrier we call time.

Also the \"Time Paradox\" theory throws a monkey into the whole thing. You see if you go back in time and do somthing, than in your \"present\" it would of happened long ago. That means that when you do it, it will of happend twice. However becuse of the nature of time (repeat previous steps) it will of happend an infinite number of times. Since nothing, not even space, is truly infinite there would be no room for an infinite number of things to happen. Thus the sudden increase of gravity would INSTANTLY colapse the universe and all those parallel to it. Going into the future however...


::But will we?::

I doubt it.
:P:rolleyes::P

It might be good. You might be able to see your family, or change events. However, it might be bad. You could be killed, without actually BEING killed. I dunno, it probably can\'t even happen!

Anyway, I based on what I previously said, it is explained that you WOULD colapse the universe.

Time displacement could never be achived...here\'s why.

1. If you where to erase yourself from your timeline than you would cease to exist to have been ereased. See?

2. If you dont understand that then think of it this way. When you are ereased you cease to exist. Thus you would not exist in ANY time becuse all of time is interconected. By this idea we can assume that you could not be erased becuse then there would be nothing there to erase. With nothing to erase you would not be erased and cancel out the erasing. There for you still exist and never where erased.

*Brain Lag*

...:D Happy place.

If you went back in time, chances are, you would become yourself (because you would have to have already have been you), and you would therefore forget you had ever traveled in time in the first place. I\'d like to say you\'d have wasted time doing so, but really, nothing has changed. It\'s not like you would gain anything. Chances are, time would go in an endless loop if anyone were ever to do this, or at least for you, anyways, because there would never be a way to remember your mistake, and therefore, you would always repeat it.

And yes, there are black holes, but you would die in the time it takes to reach them, becaues they are so far away.

Actually, even if you did manage to change the past, you\'de be trapped in time itself you\'d travel back, then relive your entire life up to the point where you when backwards, you\'d go backwards again and you\'d go in this loop until the end of time itself. Mistake me if I\'m wrong, but it souds like a bad idea to be meddling with time.

[font=comic sans ms]Maybe I should have specified a little better. >>;

Basically you remove yourself from the timeline where you are at, but people do NOT notice you are gone- you return to the very millisecond you left after you are done. or, you could see what the future timeline would be like without you around. Whatever.[/font]

Nobody understood my original theory (a page back, methinks), so let me explain it this way.
You are you. You are on a bus(time) moving forward. No matter where you move on that bus, it doesn\'t matter, because until that bus stops, you are still going forward. You have not enough influence to change said bus, or your place on said bus!
