Do you believe in time travel?

Question

What if I told you that you’ve already answered this question and to prove my point, you’re going to answer it in a few minutes. Can anyone explain this theory?

Answer 1

I could yesterday but not today because I haven't been back yet.

Answer 2

All this talk about travelling at the speed of light making time travel possible is a bit nonsense if you ask me. Consider:
You're in an enormous empty cave in pitch black darkness. You travel at the speed of light from one side to the other. What happens? Nothing really. You have simply moved from one place to another at extremely high speed.
Ignoring the physics of inertia etc and the effects of positive and negative acceleration on your body (or any object for that matter) you would still only arrive somewhere very quickly. Admitedly you would appear to the human eye to be in two places at once having (seemingly) arrived at one place before you've left another.

It's all hocum. It's physically impossible and only theoreticians come up with mathematical hypotheses which in turn are proved wrong by other theories...

Answer 3

Your 'theory' is called common sense.
Obviously anyone willing to answer this question is going to answer it in a few minutes. Some might choose to not answer it at all. And for your question, yes I do believe in time-travel. In fact time-travel is more possible than teleportation. But even so it will require massive amounts of energy and it will, without a doubt, be a big risk for the traveler and time itself (considering you are going to the past). One thing's for certain is that one must exceed the speed of light to be able to change his time course.

Answer 4

I believe it will be possible in the future but the maths behind it state you could only travel back to the creation of the time machine which is a right bummer.

People argue "then time travellers would be here now". However if the mathematics are correct and the above is true then since we've not built one then how could they be here already.

Answer 5

No. And again, no. Theory is just that theory. When it really happens and I mean more than, I moved from one time zone to another, then I will believe in time travel. It maybe interesting, and it is, but real it is not. Besides if it were possible I think there would be absolute chaos.

Answer 6

Time travel to the past is theoretically allowed using the following methods

Traveling faster than the speed of light
The use of cosmic strings and black holes
Wormholes and Alcubierre 'warp' drive

Answer 7

Yes. Have you ever been on a long distance plane flight?
Also scientists are making steps to prove that it is possible. Despite the laws of entropy.

Answer 8

Sadly, no. If time travel is ever made a reality wouldn't we have time travelers from the future coming back. Because none have ever dropped by, I guess there won't be time travel.

Answer 9

Time travel, as you explain it is impossible. You can only go forward in time, you can never go backwards. Events of the past are in the past. The past is in the past. There are three parts of time: the past, present, and future. We can only go to the future, never the past. The present is right now, but it is always moving to the future.

Answer 10

I am travelling through time right now, arn't you ?
As for travelling in a different direction or at a different speed through time, who knows. As a believer in science I do not rule anything out.

Answer 11

Yes I travel into the future each day that I am alive. and at night I travel twelve hours into the future just by closing my eyes
