My opinion is that in order to travel through time we would need to be able to travel uncalculable extraordinary distances.
Imagine how fast the earth is moving through space. Not only would we need to calculate the speed of the Solar System; but the speed of the Milky Way Galaxy; the speed of the Universe; and in which direction.
Why would we need to know this? We would need to be able to travel to the actual physical position in which the Earth would be located at the time in which we were desiring to be present.
It is my opinion that if it were not for the fact that we are traveling at such and such a speed that "Time" itself would not be possible in the first place.
The fact that physical matter is never in the same location;;;EVER;;; is what I believe makes the existance of matter a possibility.
Imagine that if the Earth were a hundred miles away from its current location in just one small second of time. To travel back one second in time you would have to travel that one hundred miles of distance.
Would the Earth be there if you could travel that distance? Some scientists want to believe that "worm holes" can link up huge distances in space by folding or warping space, distance, and time.
I personally believe that God has the power to time travel; or how else could he know the future in order to prophesy; and I do believe he has proven the ability to prophesy. Yet, did he time travel, or did he make things happen according to his prophecy?
Ok; if God exists in the future; or at the end of time (the furthest point in which time has yet reached since the beginning of all time) and has the ability to travel back into various points of the timeline; he then has the ability to travel forward and backward in order to see how well things are going according to his own actions.
So then, Jesus would have seen everything before it ever happened. I also take into account that God must have the ability to be larger than the Universe and smaller than the smallest forms of energy and matter if he were truly capable of producing and controlling them.
Yet affording us free will is what allows us to be who we are.
(see references below)
Is it possible that matter is frozen in time at every location along the path of which it travels? In other words; Is our history preserved as if it were a tape or recording throughout all of its existence? It does not seem possible; but anything is possible with God. Maybe this is where the "Missing Universe" energy is located; frozen in time. If this were true than I believe it may be possible to time travel. One would have to have the ability to travel amazing distances at amazing speeds.
I would have to believe that traveling into the past would be possible under the circumstance that matter becomes frozen in place as it travels and that a person could travel such distances and had much time available for the journey.
So if traveling into the past were possibe; because the past would be there; whereas the future may not be yet, would traveling into the future be possibe?
After traveling backward, surely we could then travel back to the future from where we just came from. This theory would conclude that we exist in the "real" present and the future really has not happened yet.
So traveling into the future could only happen if we first traveled back into the past, and then went back to the future.; where we came from.
So lets say someone else traveled back from the future (which has not happened yet to us; because at which point do we cease to be the "real" point in which time has already existed?) into our present time. We would have to consider that if God really does prophecy by time traveling, then we do not currently live in the "real stream of time"; but time and history has already taken its course and has already been fulfilled.
In other words; we do not live in the real present; but we are living along a point of the timeline. I myself have experienced deja vu to the degree that I had to believe time travel is real.
Therefore; more than anything else; I believe that our "spirits"; or that which is in our minds already has the ability to know or be shown the future. Perhaps we are connected to our future selfs.

The only legitimate theorecital method of time travel right now would be to take a wormhole, which is an extra-spatial "bridge" between two points in our conventional space, put one end of it on a space ship, and fly it at near light speed for several years.
Time on the shiip would slow relative to its surroundings. Perhaps ten years would pass onboard the ship, and many thousands of yeasr would pass outside of it.
Now the original side of the wormhole remains where it is in space, and does not move significantly through time compared with the first end of the wormhole. When the ship lands, one side of the wormhole (the one on the ship) will be thousands of years in the future relative to the wormhole that stayed behind! If you simply walked through the hole, you'd travel thousands of years into the future or past.
The problems are that:
1) Wormholes are theoretical and may not exist
2) Wormholes any wider than the plank length (really small) tend to colapse instantly. A wormhole could be expanded and kept stable by an input of energy, but sustaining a wormhole a meter wide would require more energy than the sun puts out in a billion years every minute.
3) There is no reason to believe that wormholes could be transported by conventional means
4) It would be beond our abilities to accelerate any such vessel to relativistic speeds in the first place.
But it's still a fun theory.

there are some theories about it. the most accepted one is Einstein's relativity theory.Simply it says, if you can reach (or at least get close) to the speed of light,time will pass slower for you. For example,if you put someone in a rocket and send out of the earth and roam around at the speed of light. When let's say 30 years has passed on earth, the one in the rocket will feel it just like minutes passed.So when he returns,he will find his son is older than him.That means a time travel. But besides,to reach light speed seems impossible (for living creatures at least).
Because,according to Einstein's theory,
m= 1/ (v2-c2) m=mass ,v=speed of the object,c=speed of light.
If you reach speed of light then, v=c,
m=1/(c2-c2)
m= 1/0 which we cannot describe. Simply that means if you reach the speed of light you become light itself and travel in the time. But am not sure if scientists know how to keep a living creature alive in that speed,and even if they do so,how can they transfer that creature into a solid object from the light once after that again.

I think so but not right now. Scientists are working hard on executing theories that space can be bent, and have been for years.
I read somewhere too that it's possible to move an object from one position to another by a sort of "beam me up, Scotty" method but that it would be many years before humans, or any living being, could be transported that way.
Also, if it were possible, I would not try it.

yes. In a kind of sense, but not what you are thinking about and you can only go to the past. For instance, if I am recalling an incident very vividly I go back to the instant of its occurrence: I become absent-minded, as you say. I jump back for a moment. Of course we have no means of staying back for any length of Time, any more than a savage or an animal has of staying six feet above the ground.

It must be - you did not post this question until next week.
Seriously though: read on:
Tempus Fugit.
‘Time, it is relevant’, or so Einstein said,
It came from a notion, somewhere in his head,
But Pad won’t believe it; maybe he’s wise,
He said ‘ Tempus Fugit’, or to you,‘ Time flies’.
Poor Einstein - his theory of relativity,
Was a sign, old Pad said, of naivety,
That theory is one thing that’s not in God’s plan
He’s said to have said, ‘Time waits for no man’.
If Einstein were right, what would a man do?
But fly back a few years, then forwards a few,
His antics they would be just like a woman,
‘Till no one knew if, he was goin’ or comin’.
‘You would be able to see, if Einstein were right,
Next week’s news headlines, sometime tonight,
And last years potatoes, the ones that you ate,
Would not yet be planted, or gathered as yet’.
‘You could meet your own son when he’s ninety-one,
Then see your own father, when his life begun,
Then kiss your own mother when she was a girl,
Life, if he’s right, would be all in a whirl’.
‘ So take my advice’, Old Pad, thinks he’s right,
‘ That Einstein was clever, and yes, very bright’,
‘ His theories’ says he, ‘they surely won’t last’,
‘ What’s done, it is done, and what’s gone, is the past’.

In theory time travel is very possible but in reality we do not yet possess the technology required for time travel. Perhaps in several 100 hundred years we may have developed the technology.

Yes, if we can travel faster then the speed of light i.e 300000000meter/second. But traveeling at such a high speed is not possible

I don't know clearly. But i want to tell you my opinion that time is related to speed of light because i had heard that if a body is traveling at a speed of light, its mass become zero and that body are gone to future. Time traveling because visibility of light-speed traveling body becomes zero. and that body will travel time. that machine will be called time machine

you're doing it now! Travelling forwards in time at one second per second.
Theoretically, it IS possible to go forwards faster, and even to go backwards. Technologically speaking, it is still a far off dream.
