however if you went on the fringe of faster than light, wouldn't if you looked behind you, see yourself, from a couple of seconds ago?

I think everyone here is wrong(except maybe fboi999 and filo5testing). I'm not much of a physicist myself, but time is not a force but a dimension. There is nothing known to science that will prevent ANY sort of time travel, although paradoxes do exist. To us, time is a special dimension, it causes "time", but it really only is space. So you can move back and forth on it. Yes, it is possible to create a wormhole through, but today's technologies don't allow for it. But, believe it or not, people on space stations and rockets have traveled as far as a couple seconds into the future, because the faster you go through space, the slower "time" flies.

It might not make any sense to most of you, and I could be wrong. Like I said before, I'm not a physicist.

and I already stated that somewhere, just not on this forum post XP)

and it makes sense.

Also time gets distorted when near the event horizon of a black hole, meaning, you will most likely travel forwards in time (I think)

My theory is paradoxes are impossible, due to the fact of seperate timelines, actually alternate reality's would be much more of a worry, I think when it comes to paradoxes

Time travel has actually happened.

Two atomic clocks were built. One was to stay at home, while the other got a ride in a jet. After a while, the two were compared. The one that stayed at home was a few milliseconds ahead. 

I believe that time travel is possible. It has been done, you know.

my theory of alternate timelines, if you go back in time, you change timelines, which means, you create a paradox in that timeline, it's not gonna destroy the future your from

yes, that's another theory, I suppose, but not even space/time can force us against our will

It would cause a paradox because of the space-time continuum. People would no longer exist, black holes would form, people wold begin to exist, resulting in a catastrophic future. And it's all cuz you had to go back in time to stop the creation of the atom bomb and all atomic weaponry.

I don't think timetravel is possible AT ALL. If we could have tried, we could ruin the space-time-continum, and destroy the universe. But one way to see the Earth thousands of years ago, travel at the speed of light (impossible) to a star far from earth.

that's ALMOST what I'm trying to say; If we could get a super genius to build a contraption like Dr. Who's (lol impossible) we could go backwards or forwards in time, but that would mess up the space-time-contiuum and destroy the universe in one big atomic nuclear explosion, OR the universe would be sucked into a black hole. I like choice #2 better

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!

Well, it's also a theory that black holes lead to parallel universes, but if you wanna talk about that, see my thread.

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

The future you are in will be the present for you. Future for us.

EPIC FAIL!

If you are interested in black holes and event horizons, feel free to look into the works of Steven Hawking.

I made up a theory which I call "Alternate Paradox Theory" which states:

Any 'paradox' is actually an opinion of the viewer, and does not affect time, history, and so forth, unless taken into account an alternate timeline.

You may wonder, "Is that correct?". Well, look at it. It complies with the theory of alternate timelines, right? It just creates a separate one. How did I get this theory?

Einstein's special theory of relativity states:

Any two causes to an experiment are related.

And that told him that you can bend light, which is true.

So I took the theory and I said, "If you say 'I always lie', isn't it an opinion about yourself?". And since it is a paradox, all paradoxes are opinions.

There you go.

What about my theory?

Yes, yours is correct. Black holes are distortions of space-time and cause "weird" effects. I say "weird" because it may be strange, but that happens all over the universe.

By the time you are in the black hole, you'll be dead. 

yeah, I'm just saying IF it was possible to go through, there are several different theories of what you would see: Would you go backwards/forwards in time? Would you be in a parallel universe? Would you be farther out in the universe as if it was a portal?
