What do you think about time travel?

Question

It would be cool and all, but if you travel in the past, wont your present be screwed up? If you live in the future and you travel in the past, wont the future also be messed up? Its very complicated? Do you think it would work?

Answer 1

It's imposible to travel to the past cause there is no way to move time backwards. However it is possible to go to the future. If you're in a spaceship and you travel close to the speed of light for 5 years, you would travel 50 years into the future. This is because you would be travelling so fast, time cannot catch up. Time inside the spaceship would be moving much slower than time outside. This is a proven theory. If you travelled from Sydney to London on a plane, you would travel around 1 minute into the future. IT'S BEEN PROVEN

Answer 2

1. We all travel in time towards the future at a rate of one second/second. So how cool is that?
2. Believe or not, there has been serious thought on this subject by a number of really intelligent scientists. One concept is that if one were to go back in time, you would leave this timeline and arrive in another one. Of course, you wouldn't be able to get back to your original timeline since that had no event of you going back into the past.
3. Some authors have postulated that time behaves in such a manner that it is impossible to make large changes. An example would be that you have the winning numbers for a lottery for a week in which no one won the jackpot. You go back to play those numbers. Your car breaks down, the terminal at the store fails, the printer smudges the ticket, the computer fails to record the transaction, fifteen other people pick the same numbers -- you get the idea.

Larry Niven once wrote a story that the universe itself would prevent time travel. He had his characters plan to have some other race build a time machine and have the universe destroy them. Then their sun blew up. Very sad.

Answer 3

It shouldn't be possible. I definitely don't believe it is possible, for several reasons.


Also, what most people are referring to as 'time travel into the future' is time dilation, which I wouldn't classify as time traveling in the classical sense.


But yes time dilation is a very real concept and it is possible to travel and come back years later on earth, in only days relative to you.

However, any more than that, even though theoretically possible, is absolutely impossible. Since the scale is exponential and the effects are only greatly felt near light speed, you will be absolutely annihilated at such a speed. Annihilated.

So no don't expect any voyagers to ever venture off into space and come back millions of years later.

Answer 4

According the Einstein, you can only travel into the future. If you take a trip at very fast sppeds, time will not pass as fast for you as it will for every body else. So when you return home, everything will have aged much more than you. In a sense, you have traveled into the future. But you will be stuck there.

Answer 5

I don't know. From what I understand, you have to have 2 black holes that create a "worm hole" I think. That would be pretty hard to find, for one thing. For another, you would be destroyed going into the black hole. For another even if science could find a way to make a black hole (or 2), and find a way to go through without being destroyed, I just don't think it would be a good idea to make a black hole in the first place. Who knows what kind of hell it would bring. One day science may be able to do it, but I don't think it would be a good idea. Besides the problems with black holes, messing with the past/future could really screw things up.

Answer 6

I think once u go back u make a replica of yourself, going back in the past is just as dangerous as traveling to the future. Go to the future and u have to rely on your now past body to survive, go to the past and one bad event can cause a chain reaction to lead to your own death. I think time travel will be possible once we die. But in this life we are trapped, we dont have enough time to figure it out, and we dont have enough time to fix catalystic problems to our universe, that we may create. is it possible? Definately, will it work? possibly. Take a walk outside and sit next to a tree. or just chill by a landmass. study the detail, and then ask yourself if time travel is relavent to our ordinary way of life? See where that takes u, i see nothing wrong in being curious. Keep thinking! its good for u.

Answer 7

Closest thing to time travel is in your DREAMS.

In your dreams, everything can be messed up. Time has also lost its reference, there is no space boundaries in dream, anything can happen. Past and present are intermixed. We also have little control of what is going on. However, the difference is that it does not change the real events, everything in the dream is reset when we awake.

Answer 8

I didn't believe in time travel before I came back here from 3030
but now I am glad because all of the women have two heads and they don't do anything but talk all the time.

Answer 9

If you change the past thinking it would be for the good, it would probably end up being catastrophic for future events.

So my answer is NO to time travel it wouldn't be a good thing.

Answer 10

Time is perception / illusion.

Why couldn't you be everywhere all at once, while only being aware of ONE perception at a "time"?

Next time someone tells you that you are late,
Tell them, "Really, my watch doesn't say that."

I am exactly where I am supposed to be, exactly when I am supposed to be there...... even if it isn't what I had planned.

When life doesn't go the way I planned, it is because GOD has better ideas.
