They also said microchips and personal computers were impossible to produce but look at us now. Only time will tell...

Re: could time travel be possible?

From quantum point of view, it is possible - but we won't remember it. For instance - if quantum physics would apply to macro-scale world, even if the broken glass will fix itself on our eyes, the memory of it will be erased from our brain. It's somehow related to 2nd thermodynamics law and entropy...

Hm...

Maybe into the future, but not into the past. If people from the future could come to the past, they could create a paradox or something.

Re: could time travel be possible?

No. It's not.

If it was we would see someone come back in time at some point or another, it would make news, and onward we would know that sooner or later time travel would be invented.

Time travel is 100% possible.  I'm doing it right now.  By the time you read this, I will be in the future.

Maybe in the future we could invent a machine that let's you see in the past, that way no paradox could be caused  smile

Re: could time travel be possible?

i think there is no possibility of anyone going back in time, btw mayhem you are in the present always and not the future. 
time travel forwards could be possible only by putting yourself in a stasis until a certain time, or going into space or something like that.

Re: could time travel be possible?

I am truly not sure.
Seeing what humanity has done, I don't blame it for wanting to go back in time and stop themselves from ruining things, but then where would we be?

No, we wouldn't be able to remember it.

But, if we sent the technology to time-travel back in time, we would either end up with the ruins of humanity crumbling beneath our bare and bloodied feet or a super advanced society that has changed the world back from it's serious state now.
Then again, if we had ended up with a super advanced society, we would also end up with nuclear explosions and a lower population until we eventually either leave the planet or died here.
So pretty much, I think time-travel should be left to the si-fi movies we watch, you know, to avoid the destruction of the planet.


Whoops, seems I didn't state if I believed or not. My mind was acting up again...

Actually, from the point of view of my past self, the one that wrote that message, I am in the future.  And getting further into the future with every passing second.

Re: could time travel be possible?

time travel is possible and is actually being worked on right now, the guy who is doing this is like * second coming of Einstein, IDK how it exactly works, but it might have to do with something with accelerating particles so that they go faster than light or something

Re: could time travel be possible?

If time travel was possible we would see people with weird clothing and acting surprised at seeing themselves dead or when they were a kid right? That is of course, if they were amatures at time travel and forgot not to interact with the past and to be disguised so that we dont create a paradox that eventually turns into a exploding blackhole eating itself.

So i dunno if time travel is possible. But we use the old-fashioned way to travel
through time right now. We can just wait, or we can blow up the world with a blackhole eating itself. Your choice.

We may not find it possible right now... but in the future, maybe it'll be very possible. Like affordable, portable, computers in the 1970's. O_O

Re: could time travel be possible?

I believe in different timelines, like alternate reality's but when people go through time, meaning travelling back in time could be possible without causing paradoxes

I think it's possible. Try reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells-- it explains it better than i could.

Re: could time travel be possible?

I mean, why shouldn't it? Time is a fourth dimension. I imagine if you went fast enough, like, at warp speed or faster, you could probably go backwards or forwards in time.

Exactly! It's also a theory that black holes (since they bend space-time) can lead to the past!


Back. For now. Maybe.

You left a loop hole for me to Attack, So I Shall >:3

The future: A time far beyond our time place on a huge line of infinity. Future can be 1 second from now, 5 hours from now and so on.

Time is a INVISIBLE, UNTOUCHABLE force that will, Go on forever. When you say there is No such thing as the future you only talked about OUR future on earth, Even if earth was destroyed and no living human was left time would still previal as it is a INIVSIBLE, UNTOUCHABLE force that will, go on forever on a line into Infinity, Wether it be our measurments (Minutes, Hours, Day, Week ect...) or some on going aging process, Time will truely never be destroyed.

Re: could time travel be possible?

If you go faster than the speed of light you can. The light wouldn't be able to reach you so you'd be able to go backwards in time. Also if the sun takes a week or something for its light to get hear you could go closer to the sun and therefore see what happens on it earlier.
