A Macedonian man has claimed he has. Is he just mad or is it possible?

no there is no such thing as time travel
unless you read h g wells time machine

ahh, the Macedonian man who uses 3 magic watches to travel through time. i dont think he is mad. i think he did travel to time, or maybe he is from the future. i think time travel its possible, and its very low profile. just think outside the box, anything can happen.

Funny you should ask that since I just finished the book The Time Traverler's Wife and then saw that story on yahoo. I think it would be so cool if you could time travel... but honestly, I think the guy is bananas!

in theory you can travel to the future but no way back. the closer you get to the speed of light the more time around you slows down. so a year at the speed of light and you came back it would be 60 years later

The thing to remember is that we aren't limited by physics...we are limited by our understanding of physics. At our current understanding. The only means of time travel that we have is referred to as "Time Dilation." Time Dilation creates a kind of loop in space time. Most of us understand time as a line all ways moving forward in one direction with everything progressing to entropy. Let's hold on to that reference and take it a little further...and compare it to a length of rope.
Actually i want you to imagine two lengths of rope and imagine them laying parallel to each other on a table. Rope one is going to represent time itself...and rope two is going to represent your path through time. Which to our understanding moves on a parallel course.
According to Einstein, time does not travel at a constant rate through out the universe. For instance near the spead of light or at the event horizon of a blackhole time slows. If correctly navigated this would be a method of FORWARD time travel. Here's how it works...
Let's go back to the two ropes i told you about. Imagine placing your index finger between the two ropes and then moving your finger towards rope one at a 90 degree angle to the two ropes. Now keep moving...your finger starts to warp the straight line of rope one (representing time). Now what we're going to do is take make it a kind of loop so that the to ropes are parallel again...only rope one has a loop in it that looks like one rabbit ear....other than that it should look like a straight line.
What we have done is create a short cut in the progression of time. It's called Time Dilation. The amount of time that has passed for you remains the same...but space around you has sped up (at least from your point of view...from the point of view of the space around you...it was you who slowed down).
Remember rope two? The rope that resembles your path through time? Imagine now...placing rope two over rope one. And Mark the point that it enters the loop and leaves it. If you were to straighten out that rope again you would see how much time had passed.
That is what Time Dilation is...a short cut to the future. It crunches up the time around you so that you can jump across to a point in the future.
Reversing process...well that's a different story...and no one understands really where to begin.

as seen in movies, tv, cartoons....maybe it's possible if u can travel faster than the speed of light....
(lots of stuff are made possible by man's imagination, look at all the inventions)

we all travel through time, in the forward direction and at the present rate. Sure, go ahead and believe every crackpot out there.

Anything is possible but time travel is very unlikely.

eveytihng is possible and those are the mads who make everytihng possible.But not now ı guess it will take time to discover a time machine

No, I personally don't think we can time travel.
