Does anyone believe in time travel?

Question

I believe in time viewing, like off the movie Paycheck.

Answer 1

Time travel to the future is scientifically feasible, but not likely. To travel to the future, one need only travel near the speed of light (c). Near c, time inside the vehicle will appear to progress at a normal rate.

But to outsiders, your vehicle's time will have slowed to almost a stop. Another way to say that, is that the observers' time will have sped up (its all relative) as far as the time traveler is concerned.

So when you return from your near light speed journey to Alpha Centuri and back, centuries are likely to have passed on Earth. How many centuries depends on how close to c your vehicles was traveling on its stellar voyage and back.

On the flip side, time for you in the vehicle would have elapsed maybe a few years; again depending how close to c you were traveling...and how long you stayed around Alpha Centuri looking at the weird sights.

The science is there, but not the means to travel at near c velocity. It takes far more energy than our technology and future technologies are likely to muster up to accelerate to near light speed.

Traveling into the past is not feasible given current, proved science. However, some physicists have invoked worm holes in an attempt to show how travel to the past might be accomplished. The deal here is of course that no one has ever seen a worm hole let alone experimentally uncovered just what the physical effects might be.

You may have heard of the time travel paradox where a time traveler goes back into the past and kills his mother before he is born. You can worry over that little gem until you get a headache. Some learned physicists have concluded the paradox is impossible because laws of physics yet to be discovered would preclude such an event that would alter the future (our present).

This is why, of all the science fiction genres, time travel is probably the most on fiction and the least on science.

Answer 2

Well not in the movie sense, but it is theoretically still possible according to respected physicists.

The issue is that if we built a time machine today, then today is the earliest date we could go back to.

In other words, you need a machine to receive you in the past, or future. So if it didn't exist, we can't go back.

There's also the relativistic time travel, but that is more like an observed time travel, not like really going back and avoiding that jerk you married, etc.

Answer 3

Yes, I think that it's possible. Did you see the movie(well in Spanish this was tue name) Ask the time to return. Have you ever look for this in the internet? I found a scientific explanation of this if you want I send you this. Ps I'm from Mexico

Answer 4

I feel that going forward in time is possible (You travel close to the speed of light (or even beyond it, perhaps)) and time slows down... but I feel it is impossible to travel back in time, even 1 second... this reverses entropy.... see Dr. Hawkings "A brief History of Time"

Answer 5

You can . Just look at the stars and you'll be looking back millions or even billions of years ago. or you can just check out the sun and look back 11 minutes.

I think that only things that can move in backwards or slower in time are subatomic particles of zero mass that move faster than the speed of light.

Answer 6

no cuz if it was possible some guy would come up nd be like "hi im earl, im from the year 3034 and we inveted a time machine, so i decided to come to the year 2006" thats the way i look at it

Answer 7

Why not? There are still many unexplained things going on in this universe that have yet to be discovered for a fact.

Answer 8

yes, it's called rush hour.


feels like i'm in a time loop.... over and over again.. finally i hit warp drive and zip around the off ramp and pow i'm way into the future and sitting at my desk writing checks for bills.

:D

Answer 9

We are all traveling through time.

Answer 10

All travel is time travel.
