suppose you have 2 paths with object or frequencies with diferent velocities and they conjunct at a distance could the velocity /distance ratio be considered simple time travel ? what if paths are parrelel circle circumferences?

what if paths have degree of curve

You might want to rephrase that with a grammar check, but I think I get the gist of your question...
Yes, by your model, time travel is possible. We can take an extreme case and say it like this: my friend leaves point A at a leisurely pace of, say, 0.5 c (half the speed of light) He travels at this set speed for a good, long time (infinite fuel supply, let's assume) and then turns around and comes back. Due to the funny rules of relativity, although he's only been gone a day or two by his reckoning, years may have passed back home on Earth. In effect, by his frame of reference, he's travelled forward in time -- he's only a couple days older, but the rest of the universe has gone on without him.
Of course, the fastest we've managed to travel is around 30,000 mph, , which is around 1/22,000th the speed of light... so although this kind of "time travel" is possible, it's not perceivable by humans. They've actually measured relativistic effects using synchronized atomic clocks and found that after a day with one travelling in orbit and the other stationary on Earth, they were off by a millionth of a second or so. So if you always travel as fast as you possibly can, you can cheat death by around a couple of millionths of a second by the end of your lifetime... it's time travel, but you won't notice it happening.

Of course linear time travel is possible. I'm doing it at this very moment. Unfortunately the paths seem to be the same length although at least mine's not longer (the path, that is!).

sure. the former day anybody lived in a universe that replaced into 24 hours youthful than it somewhat is at present. So, the finished universe of inhabitants traveled 24 hours into the destiny. wonderful.

its not happened yet as far as we can prove.
