Do you think time travel is possible?

If time travel is possible, I would travel into the past and make it so food would never exist so Gabe Newell would stop eating so goddamn much and, in turn, have time to make Half-Life 3 so the annoying fanbase can shut up while the rest of the gaming community discusses good games that are fun to play and don't require you to drive around in a vehicle half the game, occassionally stopping to toy with terrible gun-play against stupid AI in an attempt to unravel a story that doesn't really have a beginning or an end.

Discuss.

Only time will tell:P.

Perhaps if one could go through an unstable wormhole through the event horizon and pass near a solar flare it might just be possible.

No.

If it was possible then we would already have time travelers from the future. Drakes_Fortune

Forward maybe, backwards no.

Just because it's possible doesn't necessarily mean anyone will ever achieve it.

Definitely not for us.

Our scientific concepts would have to change quite a bit to make it feasible.

Forward maybe, backwards no.

Time travel can occur forwards but not backwards. The faster you go, the slower time goes for you and your vehicle, but it doesnt change for anyone else.

I'm inclined to say no, but some more metaphysical analysis is in order here.

Not imo , You can't go to the past because it has finished and you can't go to the future because it hasnt happened yet. silentnightmere

Nope.

Or maybe it will be possible but you can only travel back in time to the point when time travel was invented.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

Time travel into the future is a very real phenomenon. It is implied by special relativity, and actual experiments have empirically shown that it DOES happen. MrGeezer

This, why don't people seem to believe this?

Yes, all we need is a Flux compassitor.

Probably not. Were it, would we not have seen at least some evidence of it? Last I checked, there have been no quantum traveleres paying anyone visits. Naturally, were it, it would probably be regarded for only the utmost urgent need, but still.

if you went in a spaceship at near lightspeed for a while, and then returned back to earth, you'd have aged a lot slower than everyone else on earth, you'd effectively be in the future, hence future time travel.

Long way in the future, yes.

Going back in time would be awesome to fix our mistakes in life.

No.

It could be possible but what kind of device would people be using for time travel

I thought if I you were to travel at light speed for a year away from earth and travel back, everyone would be gone? tho nothing living can travel at such speeds.

Relative time travel happens all the time in nature.

But it's not something that we can really exploit and find it useful at this time.

not possible

I pose another question? Does time really exist? After all, we humans invented time. The fact that we have night and day and put it into intervals is just because the earth revolves around the sun. **** just happens. I'm not educated enough in the subject. But it just seems to me we're experiencing more of a rhythm than time.

The only remotely scientific answer so far. Kudos.

Time travel into the past or the future is not prohibted by any physical law. Time dilation however would be the far more achievable than any other method and this would resemble a move nto the future. Believe it or not a professor from Connecticut University tried to manipulate Einsteins frame-dragging effect and his theory of relativity by circulating a laser with a particle trapped at the center within a gravitational field thus causing a Closed Timelike Curve (CTC), i.e a light cone that is closed and thus returns to it's starting point. This is in essence time travel to the past. However he had to drop his plan after the greater scientific community objected and claimed a CTC is only possible under certain conditions impossible to create within a lab, specifically he would require a laser far more powerful than any available today, or increase the radius of his circulating laser to the size of the observable universe!
