is time travel possible?
in my opinion yes, me and my friends are convince that traveling through worm holes(i don't think will kill you) and black holes(which would kill you) will send you back into time, we have also soncluded that it would be impossible to travel forwards in time.
the theory that is the basis for this conclusion is: "time slows down when speeds close the speed of light are reached, and when the speed of light is reached time theoretically stops." and our conclusion is that when traveling in excess of the speed of light time will turn backwards. it would be impossible to calculate how far back in time you would travel when traveling at certain speeds though. i do not believe we will ever travel back in time though.

How do you plan on going faster than the speed of light?

well, i guess when we reach the speed of light we will have to go with NOS.
look i just said that it is theoretically possible, not probable.

and maybe you should read the post again, worm holes and black holes theoretically can make you go faster than the speed of light

I don't think that time travel will ever be possible

No because travelling faster than the speed of light is not possible. Even if it were, it wouldn't matter, because past time does not exist and neither does future time.
Another thing: How does time stop at the speed of light? That does not make any sense. The speed of light is a measurable number, expressed as a function of time. If time stopped, the function of time would be zero, and thus the speed of light would be zero. So light waves are not a function of time?? I think they are.

Re: is time travel possible?
To accelerate faster than the speed of light, one would need an infinite amount of energy, and your mass would also become infinite. So.. that's out of the question. Wormholes, in theory, only solve the problem of covering distance faster than light can by cheating the system... bending space so to speak.
Time travel is only possible on paper.

that is why i said it was probable, and if i didn't i should have, but my homes on my other forum have concluded that it isn't.
there is a really smart astrophysisist major over there at ECA. anyways theoretically black holes and worm holes would not put you over the speed of light, and we went into a big arguement about einstien theory and all that shit.

Re: is time travel possible?
Light travels at 700 million mph, and if anything were to go any faster than that, it would be visible before it existed. Plus, if time travel was possible, wouldn't we be hearing reports of people appearing from the future out of thin air?

this is where being a trek nerd comes in handy...
if time travel is possible, it would only be possible to travel back in time, not the future. obviously, because the future has not happened yet, and tring to someplace that doesn't exist, well, let's just say it fucks you up  ...however, many scientists have speculated that there are alternate universes that exist...that take up the same space as our universe, but are in a different phase, butt whatever.

O man where is my uncle when I need him. He has the best explanation of why time travel is NOT possible. Technically....we travel through time everyday....second to second, minute to minute. Thats the only time travel that is possible. If I talk to my uncle anytime soon Ill write down his explanation and post it up.

Re: is time travel possible?
First of all, a man by the name of Ronald L. Mallett
Ph.D., Professor of Physics, is in the process of developing a time machine. This machine is not some super crazy space ship, but instead it is a small cylinder shaped object, which will be used to transport atoms back in time. Saw this on TLC, and theoretically speaking, it has been PROVEN, that time travel both behind and ahead time is possible, where travelling to the futures is actually easier...
