Surely people will only be able to time travel to times where other time-machines exist; that's what I think anyway.

Any study of this kinda stuff makes it sound like physicists are interested in acting like it might be possible, probably because it's a way to make sure they keep getting funding.

Time travel is logically and theoretically impossible, since the very concept of "time" is invented by humans.

You're right, it's not possible, yet. Personally I think time traveling and portals will be the end of Eart and the Universe. They contain to much power to be used commercially and it'd take years to test, develop, perfect, etc.

Playing Half-Life doesn't help either

????????

There is definitely a dimension of time. There was even a point when 'time' as we know it began. Things don't just 'exist' in three dimensions, they need to exist at a point in time too.

Fish even probably have some concept of time.

Theoretically it's still possible. if physicists go on about 'spacetime' and 'the beginning of time' I'd trust their understanding of time over yours, you saying it's just a human construct, which it's not, because I am most certainly existing in time at the moment, and 100 years ago I wasn't.

Time does not exist at all, so how we plan to travel in somethin that does not exist.There is many things that our limited human mind does not understand.


Do you even bother?

Basiclt if someone traveling in time, they creating and destroing energy cause bit of energy they taken with them through time is in new time, for example ours and thet means energy disappeared from their time - destroed and it appaered in our time, for example - created. But thet is not possible cause only we can do with energy is to transfer it from one state to another, but not create nor destroy. Also there is a Butterfly effect - If, that actually happened(time travel) that means we have gained some energy but in future when time travrl happens the loose energy which actually was there already that means that in future it stabilise, But before that moment there always were more energy, but that is impossible. That would make a hole in the space and time continium which will destroy the whole universe and all the time, which makes future non-existant, which makes that hole non-existant too, so it will probably dissapear but as it desappears it makes future existant and time travel happenes again and th ehole formed again, so it's like circle without the end. Also if there will be more energy in our time that means that something will happen more powerefull than in normal "not-time-traveled-Universe" like stronger esplosion and something else cause there is more energy to use. So that is not possoble.
P.S. Matter is actually energy very cooled down - created in a few seconds After Big Bang- temperature there was infinitely hot and in a few seconds it cooled down very much- energy compresed and created simple bits - quarks which later joined and created protons, neutrons and electrons.(and also anty-matter particles)

dunno if anyone has played the original Command and Conqeur, Red Alert the GDI (good dudes) killed off Hitler using Instiens Time Machine but then Yuri Gela took over and was using phycik shit to win WW2.

My point being is that everyone would go ape shit and would want to control it and it would be Terminator films in reality except no robots... or would there be... Also altering time could make the present worse

How would you propose "time travel" to work?
How would anyone from the present venture into the past? How would he able to revert everything that had happened before?
Unless you're proposing the universe is a big computer with it saving all the past on a memory chip, then yes, time travel is possible.
But we know the universe is not built like that.

How the devil am I supposed to know? I watched a nice documentary on it recently. They said it would take a lot of energy to open wormholes.

I don't know. Maybe there exist 'timelines' like on so many sci-fi shows.

But we know the universe is not built like that.

No we don't. That was the final proposal on my documentary - the best way to create time travel would be to have every possibility on some supercomputer, and maybe we are beings in one of the virtual timelines.

Doesn't proposing "Time Travel" to be possible mean that our future has already happened?
Otherwise, how would we be able to jump into the past? Wouldn't we technically be from the future?

your right. if time travel was possible, we probably could have gone back in time and show the past people what we've discovered. If time travel was possible, then we would have much greater technology. unless, of course, we can't see them, or something.


Maybe if I find a good picture of something, then I'll have a good sig.

Last time "they" tried to reach absolute zero (attempting to "break" the Kelvin scale) they'd slowed the surrounding atoms' particles enough to discover and track one that literally teleports across the room. I'd imagine if we master the science of teleportation some time in the future, something like time travel wouldn't be far out of reach at that time.

Granted, it'd probably only be widely plausible far after our deaths, and chances are if it were discovered, why haven't we noticed anyone visiting this era? If we wanted to discredit that theory, we could assume the current time is the "newest" era, and time travel will only work in reverse.

Beside my seemingly optimisitic tone, I'd be one of the first to say that time travel isn't possible. I was just bringing some food for thought into the thread, the concept has always amused me.

PowerRangerYellow, we should make a time machine and go back in time to get the blueprints of the time machine I designed when I was 9.
