Do you think it is possible to travel in time?

I think its possible to go forward in time, but not back, going back would disturb anything you touched, and you may change things so much that you don't even find the way to go back in time, creating a nice 'lil paradox.
Going forward is easier, even if we don't have time machines and such, freezing yourself and then reviving at a later date could be a way to go. Just too bad that none of them have been awakened yet...alive.

if i was a loser and had no life and nothing to look forward too i would freeze my self. wait i am a loser. but i got plans for life so i dont wanna throw those things away. but that would be cool to wake up 200 years from now.

I wouldn't......then I'd realise what a fool I am and kill myself :blink:
seriously though, what would be the point cos you couldn't do anything without changing the future....it's too unpredicatable and really complicated.....just ewasier not to

i would love to know what the world will be like in 1000 years but i can see the downdfall of time travell too

Going back in time is completely impossible, IMO, because how could you go back to before time travel was possible? Also, if you could travel back, it seems like people from the future should be visiting, should they not? Also, as far as messing up things in the past and changing in the future goes, that depends on what kind of time travel theory you are looking at...Personally, if time travel IS possible, I believe in the multi-plane theory where as all time is moving at once, so going back in time would not be the same timeline as the one you went back from....

SO CONFUSING

Forward might be possible, but who knows...but then if one is possible and the other isnt, how would you ever get back?

if you were a dude from the future would you let it be publicly known. i dont think so. they would lock you in nut house. so there very well could be people from the future amongst us. but i change my mind about being frozen because the human civilization probably has only 200 atmost years left before we destroy ourselves.

I guess if people from the future were around here, everyone would be hella rich. Lottery and other sorts of gambling...unless you by simply going back changes what happens in that too.

i don't think time travel for us is possible. there's endless possibikties for the future and i don't think time is just something we could move through.

all the rich people and celebrities are time travelers!!!!!

i also believe its not possible...im pretty sure if it was some1 would be coming back around now telling us to cut all the bullshit out b4 we destroy the whole world


or who knows,maybe its possible bu the date hasent arrived for them to visit yet.u gotta remember that years ago no one would believe u if u told them that u could build a machine that could fly,or build a contraption to talk with people thousands of miles away instantly

Ok here imo/theory about time travel

It is very unlikely that it is possible. Since you would need a craft that can go faster than the speed of light and can with stand the the gravity pull of a black hole, also you would need a black hole. Also it is impossible in our dimension (if there is any other idk) but in theory, if you were to end up in another dimension from the black hole, while you are in the black hole you should be able to go to what ever point of time you want in that dimension (depending on the speed you are going in the black hole).

Now if why I bring up another dimension, is because of this. If you plan on going into the past you could only go back to the point of the year you were born, since your going back in time every thing gose back to the way it was in the past, meaning that if you go back further than the time you were born you would be unborn, meaning not there, meaning only thing to show up is nothing. Also this means you could only go back to when the machine was created. Other wise, it wouldn't work.

Last thing, The only way to go into the future, is that if every thing was already done in a set path. So it would be like fast forwarding in a movie. Other wise it wont be able to happen because know one knows what till happen in the future.
(YES I KNOW I HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS)

well since the earth's magnetic field and only barrier from harmful solar winds is deteriorating at a very fast rate, the earth only has about 1000 years of less to go, and assuming we havent waged nuclear war by then, future travel would be pointless anyway. And according to some ancient civilization, who have the most accurate calander to date, the earth ends in like 2040 or 2060 something, so I'm not too keen on the whole future thing. But the past would be fun. I'd go back and shake hands with Hitler, not because of what he did, but because of how he did it. No, I'm not a nazi, but it strikes me as curious as to how he, a reject of society, could rise to the top of politicol power, and damn near conquer the world. Or at least Europe. Anyway, time travel is possible, we just need a black hole. Anyone seen one?

I just dont think its possible...I personally think that time isnt a commodity that can be manipulated, going anywhere in time would suggest that there are other "times" existing constantly, or how would you be able to go there?

That made no sense so Im gonna shutup now.

I'd have to agree with you there man

i wish i knew what any of you just said! :blink:

i dont know about real time travel but it makes for great movies EG back to the future!

heres my view:
a black hole or something similar that ripps space itself apart would also disrupt time. if one was able to survive a black hole, and exit it at the proper moment during this time space fuck-up, or leave at the proper angle, than one would appear at different periods along the time stream. any mathamatical equation that would allow one to do this accurately and predict where theyd end up is beyond my mental grasp. also, the disruption of the time stream caused by ejecting matter, anti-matter, or energy at any point in time other than its entry time, would cause the time to flow in different directions much like an upside-down "h". time would flow unchanged in one direction, while the changed side goes in another.
i hope im not the only one who made sents out of that.

me thinks it was the aztecs and they put the year around 2035

it was the aztecs but it is the 21st of dec 2012

i read too much sorry! I got an award a coupla years ago for being best at history in my school! yay! go team me!

all this convo reminds me of string theory, its a new theory along with chasos theroy that scientists made up because they were worried we were starting to understand the old ones!

...I think this has gotten a little too scientific now....I'm confused :blink:
Well if I went back in time I'd make myself revise properly for exams, then I'd get good grades and a better job.

if you met yourself, and told him to change things, then you might not have been unhappy enough to go back and tell yourself to change things. Paradoxes rule.

yeah but you would remind yourself to go back and tell yourself to shape up now cos life is so good!

nothing can exist in a black hole, but time is not a "thing". it's more a philosophy.

it may depend on how far one enters a black hole, and weve never actually studied black holes to any extent, hell even black holes themselves are mostly just theory, all we really know is its a heavy dosage of gravity. also, space itself is comprised of...well...nothing, its all empty, save for the chunks of matter anti-matter and energy. maybe time itself is an energy form larger than the universe. maybe time doesnt move, but our universe itself moves along this time stream, and its impossible for us to see it, all we see is its effects.....

my head hurts now, damm universe is too complicated for human thought :blink:

in case you didn't know a black hole is what a collapsed star is, i'm sure you know that stars eventually die out and well, explode or implode or some shit, and a black hole is formed. how we even know they are there is that it's pure black black, the absence or any light at all, thus the name. while pretty much everything about black holse is theoretical, it's still more a thing than time. time is an idea, a philosphy, time travel would require that time actually be a somthing we could trave on or through. it's probably safe to say time is not a stream which the universe moves along, time i believe is more the rate of decay. as time moves on the universe expands, things become more chaotic, things are decaying and there's more dead now in the universe than there was a thousand years ago. therefore time is more of an idea or philosophy than anything else, how would we travel through this or go forward or backwards in it? time travel is and always will be science fiction.

i knew about the collapsed star part,

holy sh!t he figured out what time is, so i will restate

ehhh Back To The Future sucks. I've hated since I was on the ride N it threw me all over the place.. Made me sick and gave me bruises - I'm convinced it was broke that day!!!!!!

Uh as far as time travel goes.. If it was possible i'd go back and write all the biggest songs - win the lotto every week & invent Pop Idol... oh then i'd buy this radio station and sack all the staff just for kicks

I was just thinking, how the hell do scientists come up with laws and rules for time travel seeming as
1. Time can't be proven to exist
2. They've never been able to practically test it out

....I dunno it confuses me thinking aBOUT it but we'll never be3 able to time travel and tell people about it cos if we moved back in time there would be no time machines to sned us back...well that's my thoery....
