Time Travel to the Future
It is possible, but impossible at the same time.
To get to the future you need to go close to the speed of light, which is impossible.
And if you don't believe me, why don't you go ask Stephen Hawking, the greatest theoretical physicist of our time.
If only we could get there by driving 88 miles per hour.

Actually haven't. I heard it's good though. I might get around to reading it after I finish Z.Rex.
I know that the book has to do with time travel though. Also, I made a theory (I don't know if this has already been made). If going to the past was possible, changing history is not possible. You'll only make that event happen.

Re: Time Travel to the Future
Technically, we're always travelling forward in time!

Re: Time Travel to the Future
By you travelling to the future you are changing it for you will no longer be in (our) present or (your) past. You will then find it impossible to go back in time so you are going to be stuck in the future which you have created. If i were you i'd just celebrate by singing dynamite. Oh, and take a girl/Boyfriend with you!

You don't need to go close to the speed of light, It's just the closer you get to the speed of light, T=the slower time goes. SO... if you spent your entire life in and airplane, you might live a second longer.

According to my sources, I've already lived 3 seconds longer.

Oh, well I don't know exactly how much longer, I just know it is very short.

Re: Time Travel to the Future
Well according the the Theory of Relativity, energy = mass * speed of light squared. Therefore, a large amount of gravity will have the same effect as speed will. By this reasoning, you could theoretically go to a region of high gravity (near the horizon of a black hole, for example) and things around you would seem to happen much faster. You would quickly arrive in the future, although there would be no way to go back.

Re: Time Travel to the Future
Technically, whenever you move, you are time-traveling. But in a very, very, very, very, very, very, very ineffective way. Driving 100 miles per hour is time-traveling about 0.0000000001 seconds into the future.

That was a joke about me being on an airplane. IDK too.

Re: Time Travel to the Future
Actually, I think I do know how to travel back in time. I'm 8 yrs old, but I have an amazing interest in the dimensions and time travel. Doesn't the state of radioactive material of some kind change with age? So if we altered the state wouldn't we be making the item travel back in time?
Also, if you time travel by a black hole, the only way that a black hole could exist is if an opposite existed. Since in a black hole, physics would be changed, a white hole would exist on the other side of the singularity, meaning a way back, possibly, but most likely in a smaller form, or stretched out. Maybe even enlarged, but I still have to keep researching.
