Paradoxes notwithstanding of course.

According to some scientists, if you can get faster than the speed of light, you can cross time barriers by bending and manipulating the space-time continuum. Also, some quantum physicists believe that the universe and all of existence is made up of separate, infinite numbers of dimensions, so time travel without going faster than the speed of light would essentially be traveling to a different dimension in a different time that is not too different from the history of our world. That's pretty far-fetched, though. However, I still believe in the possibility. Nothing's impossible (almost).

time dialation is technically time travel and thats been done. take 2 atomic clocks, one one the ground and one strapped to a jet flying around the world. when the jet cycles the world and reunites with the ground clock there will be a measurable (yet very small) difference. Relativity 101. look up the Lorentz equation.

No. Because there could be a wrinkle in time, causing the world to self destruct. Howeve, if you can go about 6 times the speed of light, many scientists think it could be possible.

I think it is a nice idea to think about the possibilty of something so out there. But at the same time I think that everyone knows that it is impossible to ever be able to travel to our past or futures. People like to think about things they know they can never reach.

As the word "time" stands NO! As for condensation of space for travel through the use of worm holes or gravitational effects of steller mass YES!

Of course time travel is possible. Because all time is is something repeated over and over and over

the only way that i've heard of time travelling is Einstein's theory.
Go faster than light, and you will go back in time. BUT... since nothing can go faster than light, time travelling is impossible

My best friend invented a time travel device. He went back in time and killed his mother. Who were we talking about again? Uh.... Time travel, what a silly idea.

It is possible but hard to obtain. When you think about it we are traveling in time at 60sec/min.

Nope.
