Re: Timetravel
 
It is possible to see into the past, but not to travel backwards or forwards through time, that's final, time in the future does not exist (yet), so you can't go there, time in the past has already happened, and unless you could somehow reverse the every single process that has happened (except your birth and bodily functions etc), it is impossible to travel backwards through time.

I say it is possible to see into the past, as light is what makes us see things, and thus if the light doesn't reach us till the event has past then we will be seeing the said event after it has happened.

Which brings up the point that things happen when they happen, not when you see them happen, so if you were to 'travel into the past' and be able to see everything as it was, you could not affect it because it has already happened. I'm confusing myself, so ignore that bit if you don't get it.

If you ask me it may be possible but it also may not i dont know.
But if it is possible then i hope we will never discover how, because there will always happen something bad: a terrorist that goes back in time to use advanced technology to blow up all the nuclear powerplants and desroy the world, a nut that goes back in time and takes over the world, some nice guy that thinks he can save the world by killing hitler caosing some sort of chain reaction what makes a world war ,....
And thats just the tip of the iceberg, here are just way to many grazy people on this planet to make it a safe idea to timetravel, each thing you do in the past has a counter reaction, even if you kill a bug you might alter the whole past.
I know im overreacting but still it is way too dangerous to timetravel.

There will never be a time machine. It is possible but only theoretically.

Well that would be the only way to "go back in time' , one would habe to invent a machine that would be able to travel faster then the speed of light so you could take over the light that caused tens, hundres, thousands of years ago and then look back to see what this light shows.

Same with the stars, by lookign at those stars we look back in time, since between the point of the start emitting that specific bundle of light and our eye catching it is a very large amount of time. So we only eventually might be able to see what light reflected into the universe (no fancy abiltiy to "walk around in the past" ). It would be more like a topdown-view experience.

Of course time travel is possible! Silly.

I agree with FileTrekker, Time is a revelative to our perception of the universe and reality, we gave it a name to explain it to ourselves, but we don't know what it is, our brains can't comprehend anything greater or more complicated than that.

I think time travel is possible tho, each infinite reality is taking place in the same place right now, so why not be able to move your space-time co-ordinates, like having a ball that isn't affected by gravity or time, but just exists in the space it occupies, just move the ball......maybe :lookaround:

pfft! why do you think i want a delorean? to make it possible. everyone knows that the only suitable time travel machine is the 1982 DMC-12 DeLorean. hah, watch back to the future parts I, II, and III in a row, the genius of the interconnections between the three are amazing. and the quality at which they thought out the series is wonderful. i believe its entirely possible. not easy, not very soon either. but i think we would have to master teleportation first, then tweak around with it and thro w few more gizmos with long names into it, then we might be able to... i don't really expect to see it in my future though. i'd say i've got bout 12 years left before i get killed by doing something stupid.... these are all just my thoughts, i'm not a "truth-telling" textbook. believe what you like, i'll believe what i think

Time also seems to be the result of the universe expanding
