POLL: Do you think time travel is possible?

MM87 · 2008-06-19 10:50:28

I don't care what anyone says, it's impossible. People take the quick way out and say Einstein was studying it but he never proved it to be possible. Most people think time travel is real cause of myths they read about like the Philadelphia Experiment. Look at what supposedly happened when some people on that ship time traveled: 'Still other members, like Jacob L. Murray, would be physically unaccounted for - supposedly 'vanished' - and five of the crew were would have been fused to the metal bulkhead or deck of the ship. Still others would have faded in and out of sight. Sometimes they would disappear, then crewmates would stick their hands into the spot they had disappeared and try to grab the crewmate, but, if they did not, that spot would burst into flames. Horrified by these results, Navy officials would have immediately canceled the experiment. All of the surviving crew involved would be discharged; in some accounts, brainwashing techniques would be employed in an attempt to make the remaining crew members lose their memories concerning the details of their experience.' What I just quoted above from an article is absolutely terrified and fascinating at the same time and it would be so cool if that really happened, but it didn't. If you break some glass there is no way to magically go back in time to hold the glass before it broke. I don't care about black holes in space and other stuff. Time travel = impossible. Although I wish the possibility of time travel was real cause the thought of time travel is incredibly interesting.

Yes.

Ever heard that if you were on some faraway planet about let's say 50 light years away, and that you could somehow view Earth from that planet (say with an EXTREMELY powerful telescope), and it was 2008 on Earth, you'd be viewing events that were occuring 50 years ago in 1958.

This is due to the fact that light from Earth is taking 50 light years (which converted to standard numerals is in the Trillions) to reach that planet, so what you see is what is occuring 50 years back from the present time that is on Earth, instead of what is occuring in 2008.

For you to see what is occuring from 2008 from 50 light years away, it has to be the year 2058 on Earth. In that year, the events of 50 years ago are the only things seeable from 50 light years away, so you will see events occuring in 2008.

From this, Time Travel seems possible, but the actual way isn't quite evident to me.

No, it can't be done. If so, then there has to be at least one person from the future who is carless enough to come close to our time and leave something to prove it's possible. I mean, once we could, there'd be millions of people who could go back in time from there on back to now.
