Please help me by giving me as many details as you can about time travel and how we can travel through time.

LOL why do you guys reply as you think I want to travel in time? I was asking cause I am just really curious as to what the theory is. duh

The easiest way to travel through time is to approach the speed of light. The universe seems to speed up from your frame of reference.
Get into a fast rocketship with a big gas tank and fly toward the nearest star. If you could get going to .95c for half the trip, slingshot around the star to a reverse course and start slowing down again halfway back, you would be traveling for about 20 years as seen from earth. Your watch would show that you were only gone for 19 years. You traveled forward in time by 1 year. Woo-hoo!
The trick of course is to somehow get to relativistic speeds without consuming a huge amount of energy or time. For instance, if you could get to .99c for 80% of the trip, the trip would take about 12 years on earth and like 8 years in the spaceship. You could travel forward by 4 years.
If you could get to .999c for 99.9% of the trip, it would take 10 years on earth and like 1 year for you.
Look us up when you get back.

Time travel, in the sense of being able to travel into the past or diplace ourselves in an unnatural way along the temporal dimension, is basically impossible. There are a couple of theories using things such as wormholes which can allow a type of time travel but there are problems with it. Namely, these wormholes require particles that exhibit properties never before seen in experiments. They require things such as negative energies and other exotic properties. Also, no one is actually sure what "time travel" would mean as many paradoxes exist when one tries to detail time travel. In short, you'll be hard pressed to find details about time travel because no one knows exactly how it could be accomplished or what it will be like.

When time travel is achieved, it will be due to a wormhole.... it is the only way to time travel since the fold in space and time, you are there instantly. Creating a wormhole where you have here and now = point A and there and when = point B the wormhole folds to make the point AB where you come out in the future or past what ever the case you created. There is no known technology that can go faster then the speed of light to the point of being able to time travel. The wormhole theory is the only logical way thus far.

Time travel is theoretically possible. But that is a cautiously submitted proposal. First of all, we lack not only the technology or know-how, but the ability to harness the energy to do it even if we knew how. Secondly, I read that it is estimated that we would need all the energy in the universe to get it done. I believe that the universe itself experiences "waves" of time throughout it's vast reaches. Much like waves on a pond if a rock were thrown into it. When these waves come near us, they have an effect on the passage of time as we perceive it. Some have suggested to me that this could be why people see ghosts, but I don't believe in them. But I don't believe that time is a dimension in the traditional sense either. I don't think it can be broken down as we do with our timepieces which are a necessary tool for everyday life. Rather the whole evolution of the universe from beginning to end is one "moment" and that our lives are moments within one large moment.

Well, for one thing time travel is theoretically possible but the laws of physics only allow for time travel to the past. It would still be quite some feat to move matter back in time but energy could time travel backwards much easier. A much much easier way to travel back in time is past-life regression hypnosis if you believe in that sort of thing.

Time travel is not possible. Why do you people ask the same question over and over again. I have answered these question so many times, giving details. Search for those questions.

Perform a Yahoo! search for the Philadelphia experiment, the so called government time travel experiment involving US Naval seamen. Also, perform a Yahoo! search of the Montauk project. Montauk Air Station in Montauk, NY was the alleged site of gruesome experiments on humans involving mind control, and time travel.

well is time travel possible. I believe so. There are several biblical instances where an angel had shown John the future and he describes a "flying scropion with the face of a man.". i.e. a helicopter today. And I asure you they did not have helicopters a couple of thousand years ago... that was the only way he could describe it.

Wormholes. You fold Point A into B and create one point AB. So you would have to fold space and time in upon it's self.

Well first you must strip totally naked, rub baby oil all over your body, and then run around your block 13 times - after the 13th lap, you will magically be taken back to 1983
