time travel, is it possible?

[Ice-man]

ok heres what i think, if time travel were possible than wouldnt someone from the future be visiting our preasent time to tell us or show us that its possible?

or are their laws of time that prevent that from happening, or would we have to first invent any means of time travel in order for them to come back in time, cuz if we never figured out how to make it work than in the future it must not exist.

if time travel were possible than would we be able to change things from the past or future, or does time travel bring us to parallel time lines that restrict any changing of the real time line.

such as if i made a huge investmeant in the past and went to the preasent would my life in any way be altrered, or will is stay exactly the same?

but if that were the case than if changing the past, preasent or future did work than it wouldnt be changed at all beacuse id have no recognition of it being changed so in a way it satys the same. hmmmmm....

got anything interesting to add about the subject?

 

[enterthemadness]

No, it is not possible. Even if it was you'd be stuck in a never ending loop. End of silly thread.

......................

Ok, not a silly thread, but the concept of time travel won't happen.

 

[amazingdm]

of course time travel is possible
time is just as much a tangible plane/dimension as space
anyone who says otherwise is braindead
besides they've already proven a way to travel to the future

Nice to know I am a freak of nature.

I would very much like to know where you read that.

... It's called, "letting time pass."

Time travel isn't possible at this point. Should it be in the future? We may never know... But I'd doubt it. Don't you think that the future you would already have come back to **** with you, had it been possible in the future?

 

[amazingdm]

if you went faster than the speed of light for a while then came back, time here would have passed faster than it did for you. So you could have aged 1 year and everywhere else aged 10 years or something like that

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I remember watching the history channel a while back. Some suggested that UFO's were time travelers from the future.

... Do you have any proof of this?

That's practically like saying if I roll down a hill faster than someone does, I'll age more quickly than that someone.

You're watching an incredibly high amount of science fiction, I think. Keep in mind, dude, it's called "science fiction" for a reason.

 

[Ben Urich]

I heard a guy who was trying to build a time machine say on This American Life that, even if it were possible, the most you could go back in time to was the moment at which you flipped the switch to travel.

So yeah, close thread.

That's only a theory. He's not crazy. Physicists beleive that if one were to move away from the earth at a high rate of speed and return, more time on earth would have passed than the travler did.

yeah there is proof of that
go find it, I don't need it any more :P

to outright claim something like time travel is impossible is just idiocy though

no no, I'm pretty sure it was called "college advanced physics class"

god dang i'm surprised you all havent heard of relativity before

So.

Which flavor of Kool-Aid are they serving you?

Don't tell Einstein. He'll be pissed.

[amazingdm]

to claim that time travel is a matter of silly/crazy thought is worse than those people who actually think evolution isn't real

 

[WTFimVENOM]

yeah there is proof of that

So thats who this dude is.....

 

[Ice-man]

ahh the old twin theory, its yet to be proven, but the theory goes if one twin remains on earth and the other travels threw the universe, if he came back his twin would have aged by x amount of years, time is basically non existant in space, and light speed has a great affect on the subject as well, you go lightinging fast wile evrything else around you remains the same.

i belive the twin theory to be true, but theres no way to prove it right now.

once higher speeds for spacecraft are invented than someone can test the theory.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

So thats who this dude is.....

LMAO!!! Wasn't that on Jay Leno.

 

[Ben Urich]

So thats who this dude is.....

We don't need that picture to know that this guy is not 'entirely there'. Just look at his sig.

 

[amazingdm]

You people can't possibly be saying I'm crazy for saying time travel is possible, or at the very least that there is no reason to say it is IMpossible?
geez

Hi everyone.



I know that time travling isn't real but there is a show called Doctor Who. The Doctor can travel time with his machine called The Tardis. The doctor has a assistant called Maratha Jones who travels with him. The doctor had many many generations (10 generations). The doctor has many enemies called the judoon, daleks, cybermen,audon, the empty child, and more.



The doctor is the best one there is.



Every saturday at bbc1.

im one who thinks its possible, time exists all around us, i mean if time can go forward why cant it go backward.

going to the past or future is a possibility but getting there is the challenge. most known ways of getting there are worm-holes, and light bending.

theres a short clip i wached online of a pysicist who invented this curved spiral with lazers, dont know if it works yet but its the first ever time machine. id love to learn more about it.

Physics: From Time to Time


May 1, 2006 issue - Ronald Mallett, a University of Connecticut physics professor, thinks time travel is possible—and he's designed an experiment that could do it. Basically, he wants to "swirl" empty space the way you'd swirl coffee in a cup, using a laser as the stirrer. Because space and time are more or less the same, swirling empty space could also swirl time. Mallett would then drop subatomic particles into his roiling cup of space-time and see if they're hurtled a few nanoseconds into the future.

The idea sounds esoteric, but it's based in solid theory: Einstein's, in fact. "It's anchored in the general and special theories of relativity, and that's why people take it seriously," Mallett says. But not everyone. Robert Ehrlich, a physicist at George Mason University, says the idea of time travel is "not disreputable"—scientists have been suggesting time-travel mechanisms for decades—but that Mallett's plan has a major flaw: his device is small enough to sit on a desktop. While it may very well work, says Ehrlich, the effect would be "so small that it would be impossible to measure." Mallett's going ahead either way; he's just written his first book, "Time Traveler," a memoir. But unless he builds a time machine soon, you'll have to wait until November to read it.

trying to find the article, but a few years ago the world of science was rocked by a team of scientists who successfully sent lihgt particles backwards in time. they went something like 1/1000th of a second or something like that. It was recorded using one of those nano second cameras that capture like a trillion frames per second.

They did this by putting beams of light into a particle accelorator to make them travel faster than the speed of light. They woud put them in one end and make them emerge from the other end afterwards, or in this case prior to.

The beam of light would emerge from the one end, before it was even inserted into the other end.

Obviously traveling to the future is possible, since were doing it right now, and astronauts have done it at even faster rate. but now it's also been proven that you can travel back to the past.

I suspect that the reason we aren't being disturbed by tourists from the future is simple.

A. we annihilated ourselves before we developed the ability to do so
B. It requires mega resources, that only the government can come up with, and our future leaders are extremely opposed to it. most people would be. you make one tiny change in the past, and you end up never being born.

C. Maybe we are being visited and we just don't know it.
