I'm a great believer in the unknown so this stuff interests me. i was just wondering if anyone thinks that it could one day be a reality.

Hmm.. Interesting Question.. Space Travel has been proved to be possible, As for the Time Travel.. it is possible If you could break the most powerful barrier of all "The Speed of Light" -- How? The Astronomical distances is measured in "Light years" Time taken for the Light to travel in a year .. So... If we are looking at some Galaxy 200 light years away now.. we are actually looking into the Past.Considering that.. We may travel 'back' in time.But attaining the speed of light is Extremely difficult and Surviving in a machine that travels with such speeds is more difficult -- coz' the G forces would be enough to crush you completely. If we could Shrink ourselves using a machine ( like the one used in Honey, I shrunk the kids) into say sum sort of bacterial size...Then we could withstand the G forces...coz' organisms the size of bacteria are known to 've survived the long space travel..like the ones found on meteorites from Mars. So.. I think it is possible..

Never, and the Earth is Flat.....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course it is possible but as yet Humanity hasn't got it's head around the problem. We know that some sub atomic particles seem to display the ability to so but haven't yet worked out how or why.

To ask could it 'one day' be possible suggests the same. At the point at which it is achieved it becomes possible in all times including now as the Traveler carries the know how with them through time.

We don't know it hasn't already happened because as observers we can only see what we percieve as 'now' and have no frame of reference to detect alterations.

It's only when you believe the impossible is achieveable that you can make it happen.

Also which modern day Government would ever admit to having the ability to do so? Thats one heck of a weapon!

It could be possible to go backwards I think, but not forwards.
The theory is this.
If you travel 10 miles at 60 miles per hour, it will take 10 minutes.
If you travel the same route at 120 mph, it will take 5 minutes.
Travel at 240 mph it take 2.5 minutes etc.
Eventually if you can go fast enough, you will arrive at exactly the same time that you set off. NOW, what happens if you go even faster? You must arrive before you set off.
Going forwards in time is trickier, you basicall want to get there after you set off - which you always do anyway, try walking. Perhaps the only way forward is through suspended animation.

Only if man becomes capable bending of space will this be a reality. Otherwise the laws will not allow this, but bending the fabric of space is a topic which some believe is possible someday with future technology. Read pop sci and American Scientific

If you look at the stars which is billions of light years away,we know what we are seeing is how it was then,billions of years ago,In order for us or at least the light coming from the present time from such a distance we would have to wait billions of years later for it to arrive,Light travels fast,but its not the fastest,
Beyond our capability ,going back in time is possible ,
Logically if you could travel faster than the light thats approaching you,d probably be there and then.
Just a thought,
sorry not be the answer youre looking for...

travelling back in time is IMPOSSIBLE, what has happened has happened.
travelling in front is possible but requires immense technology and energy,as einstein's theory of relativity suggests, this can only be applied when traveling at/close to the speed of light.
as the speed of light is being approached, time slows down and eventually stops as it has been attained.
so, if you're travelling at the speed of light in space, you do not grow older as there is not time or time is ticking slowly. meanwhile on earth, time moves on as normal and when you get back, people seem to be in a more advance time compared to you.
to know more, read the book ''simply einstein: relativity demystefied'' by Richard Wolfson

According to the Einstein`s special theory of relativity even a grand father clock is set up to synchronize all the clocks in the world and to maintain a same relation with time and space since the time varies and per the space varies,directly proportional!so,we cant travel maintaing a specific relation between time and space!

not sure...but you cant dismiss it entirely...i mean, i was on the underground the other day and i was thinking that if you told someone from a thousand years ago that a thousand years in the future people would be travelling in metal machines through underground tunnels at speeds faster than they had ever seen before, being moved by a thing called "electricity"...they would say you were mad

or if you said that one day you would be able to whisper on one side of the earth into a small item (mobile phone) and someone on the complete opposite side of the world would hear you and be able to reply! they would say you need mental help

so maybe its not so unlikely?

i assume your question is severe. sure, in some unspecified time sooner or later on your baby's existence mankind will commute by time. There aren't any beings outdoors the present staring at us. genuinely no earthlings. Time isn't a linear merchandise. There are innumerable futures, yet one previous. to go back from the previous, would negate heritage and blur the line. it would not be a paradox, of itself. it may a superposition of histories, of this is the anomaly. to go back from the destiny, would propose the present is extra geometrical, truly than symmetrical. IOW, in order to flow ahead into the destiny, one might want to verify the present exists growing an infinite circle of tries. My feeling is time machines is purely unlike H.G. Wells', corresponding to an section gadget that is going quick. the potential of a H.G. Wells' version will be fixing for time and manipulating the different variables. I presume this incorporates a speed of close to 0, which skill the different values might want to be awesome to copy. In theory, it really is accessible if a wide sufficient income in frequency is performed. i imagine it really is what prevents human beings from construction one, inspite of if we had blueprints. shall we no longer face up to the potential produced for extremely lengthy.

first wwe already travel through space. maybe not as humans but weve sent cameras.

as for the time travel. you can never be anywhere but the present. even if you travel a 100 years into the past or future it would still be the present from your perspective.
