if it was we would already be tripping over a constant stream of time tourists.

That makes no sense.

We have no time machines in existence for any tourists to exit from.
Have to make one first, the rest will be backwards compatible.

How do you know we are not already?

I'm sure there'd be regulations on proper attire, language requirements, and possibly knowledge requirements.

Unlikely (more like impossible), but an interesting thought nonetheless.

No time-traveling will never be possible because there is no such thing as time. Time is a human social construct just like money but it doesn't exist in nature.

Half lifes exist naturally, and time plays many factors in nature. So time does exist, Seconds/minutes/hours are simply units of measurement, something which is a human construct.

Time exists only as a mathematical trick. But it doesn't exist in the natural order of things. In nature everything is governed by physical forces and time is not a physical force. Time is just a mathematical trick.

There is no Trick. While i can agree humans have created units of measurement, for defining things like Time, and Speed. It would be ridiculous to suggest that without the human comprehension of what "Time" was, Time would be non-existent and have no governance over the universe and it's inhabitants..

what kind of crappy time travel machine needs an exit?

any smart time traveller would fire up his 1st machine,  travel forward until he saw a really awesome time travel machine that did not require an exit then snag it and use it to go back.

simple.

besides,  stephen hawking  threw a time traveller convention and nobody showed up for it.  proof positive.

To be fair, if i had a time machine and was looking to party... I wouldn't go to Stephen Hawking's place, at a f***ing university.

Set the date on the microwave, climb in, and press "Start" Wait for the beeping noise before exiting the time machine.

How does that work?

Gravity. Say youre in a spaceship. You go to the event horizon of a black hole, and orbit for a certain length of time. When you decide you want to pack up and go home, you'll get back there and while you were orbiting the black hole for say, 5 years, time has moved on for everybody else say, 50. Your mass is much more dense as you close in on the black hole, everything else out of the black holes reach is moving at a faster speed than you do.

I doubt it-- your body would probably age with the time traveling as well. Kinda like how astronauts can theoretically slow their aging in space.

The skeptic in me says no, but I would qualify that by saying that if there's a way, we'll probably eventually find it unless our species is wiped out somehow.  The notion of people routinely crossing the ocean in airplanes or leaving orbit would have seemed pretty ridiculous to most people 150 years ago, after all.

Humans are already moving forward through time. However, time dilation, though not exactly time travel in the strictest sense, accounts for someone in space (for example, the ISS) aging at a slower rate than someone on Earth.

Traveling foreword in time is pretty simple, all it requires is movie at or near light speed. Maybe traveling back in time is possible but no one has come to our time line because maybe we are in the alpha time line and someone going back in time creates a new beta time line at that point. Then for someone from the alpha time line to get to that new beta time line would require traveling through the 5th dimension.

The one thing that boggles my mind with time travel is say one man went to the past where I was 4 years old. Would I personally in my current consciousness feel like a 4 year old again, or would I remain in the present time and watch that man simply disappear rendering a seperate consciousness taking control of my 4 year old self?

What if he was to change something? Would the version of me in the present randomly see the world before me change slightly? Or is it that him going into the past is a set moment in time, and thus nothing changes as everything he does already happened last time?

Start looking for people who are out of place. Then you will know the truth.

If time travel became widely available we'd theoretically would have had it for centureies become some shmuck would have brought the technology back in time and given it to someone.
