glad u asked!! yes it is very much possible. how well, using a worm hole. what is a worm hole?? well, to explain that i think i will consume a lot of time so i suggest that u go to the link i shall give below. of course at the end of site it is written that any info that goes thro the "throat" shall be destroyed, but its much logical than any sci fi thing.
and i would use time machine to go back to see how the dinosaurs were like, and to go to the future to see the discoveries that the future ppl may have made.
actually i'd like to share with u that it may be possible that we are some form of energy in the past or future, coz if we alter the past or bring something from the future, the whole universe goes hay-wire. nature does not allow anything like this. so we may be just of the form of some energy that can not interfere with the environment of the new time! interesting no?
happy reading!

Going forwards is easier, but it is relative to other places and people. If you take a tram from A to C via B and pass a tram going the opposite direction at B, then you have seen that other tram before the people waiting for it at A. You have seen the future for the people at A. Of course you have seen an object from the future, not how that object will interact with other objects.
Another way to look at it is in terms of time. If I take the tram from A to C and you walk, then I will get there before you and see the man get hit by the car. You will arrive later and see the mess. You may wish you could travel backwards through time to stop that man walking out in front of the car. This is not possible. But had you taken the tram instead of walking, then you would have arrived before the accident and might have been able to prevent it. You would have arrived earlier than others. I reached the destination - your future - before you did. Time travel is relative.

A time machine is not possible, however, theoretically time travelling is possible. Simply put, if you zipped round the galaxy for say 10 years, you could come back to earth and it would be 20 years later.
Like a lot of good questions, the answer creates even more questions.
Personally i'd go back in time to around the dinosaurs to see how beautiful the earth was before man messed it up! but then you can't go back in time.......

Yes, there is something that when you go into space, you are actually flying faster than time. I will be the first to admit that I know f-all about this, but I do know that if you look at the statistics of this time travel is actually possibly, only by a minute or 2 though. If I was big into Physics I would be able to explain this more for you, but unfortunately I ain't.

no time machines are not possible, a person would need to travel both in time and space (as the earth is moving through space at quite a fast pace). a machine will never be able to go at that speed and correctly plot a course to where earth was at any specific point in the past. i would however like togo back a few years and ensure that the television show firefly was never cancelled.

There is a difinitive answer to this question. It is found in the physics trilogy.
The three aspects of this trilogy are: E=mc2, m=E/c2 and c2=E/m. These three equations describe the limitations and formations of our physical world. In the last equation, the "c2" value states that mass and energy are directly composed of a particular velocity. This velocity is not an abstract number. It is a constant velocity value equal to that of the speed of light. Our gravitational field is this value in its purest form. It is a frequency that appears to be that of planck's constant.
The meaning of this is that everything in our universe - energy as well as mass - is composed of physical time. This being so, we cannot manufacture any "machine" that would allow us the ability to escape ourselves. Once to live, once to die - after that the judgement.

It is likely that the mechanics of a time machine prohibit travel to a time before the machine was constructed. That is why we haven't been visited by any time travellers.
If it were possible to go back to any period of time, then I'd go back and see the dinosaurs.

Going backwards in time is impossible. What happens if you travelled backwards to the year 1900? You'd pop out of nowhere in the year 1900? That clearly violates the law of conservation of energy and matter.

I truly think it's possible to time travel.... I think I'd like to got back to Victorian England and meet people like Oscar Wilde & Lillie Langtry; I might even find out who Jack the Ripper was.

No not possible,
For time machine very high speed we have to travel
we should more than the speed of light.
It was not possible
