Time travel will be possible?

Question

Not reverse time travel (ie somebody arriving from thee future), but forward time travel. Sometime in the future, it will be possible to travel further into the future to bring back information, technology etc.
This thereby avoids the paradoxes which reverse time travel would incur.
Discuss

Answer 1

Reverse time travel is impossible, but believe it or not, forward is 100 % possible. Then an object reaches an extremely high speed, near the speed of light, Time around it will go slower and the object willgo forward in time faster than everythng else. Astronauts in the space shuttle also travel throught time, but because their speed is only a tini fraction of the speed of light, their time travel is nearly unnoticed.

Answer 2

I am not sure I understood this question. In the famous Twin Paradox, the traveling twin who embarks on a journey at near luminal speed ages much slower than his stay-at-home twin. When he returns he finds his twin brother much older and in a sense he has traveled to a future age. But yet he cannot return back to his past (the point of time he embarked on his journey). so how is it possible to bring back information or technology. Theoretically it is possible to travel into the future but time travel to the past is full of logical paradoxes and cannot be done even as a gedanken experiment.

Answer 3

You can slow or even stop time but you can not reverse time. What is done, is done.

For example of what is possible.

- You going in a 'time chamber' which acts like you sitting in a blackhole. You go in that chamber for 5 minutes and come out and the earth would of advanced/aged 50 years while you are only 5 minutes older. This type of time control would be the ultimate cyrogenic, but with out the freezing.

- The other is the opposite. You put a plant in a 'time chamber' that speeds up time so the plant ages 5 years in the chamber but it only took 5 seconds outside of the chamber. This type of time control would be perfect for making clones. You could clone yourself and through time control have a clone of the same age which would be perfect for organ havesting,ect.

Answer 4

Sounds plausible. However, time travel is almost a sure thing going both ways. If you look at weird historical figures and the things they have done during our lifetimes, I would think time travel in both directions is probable. And forget about killing a butterfly in the past to effect the future, the only way that I can see to change the future is to cause a major reflux in the time sphere.

Answer 5

sending info back from a future point is reverse time travel.

if someone from the future send me a message not to do something,
it would be the same if they came here physcially and prevented me from doing it.


bringing back technology would cause a problem
cause if it existed allready, the person would not then go and invent it.

I do not think that God would allow Humans to time travel,
We can not be responisible with that ability.

Answer 6

Time travelers told me not to talk to you about it. It isn't about the physical. Get over that. When you travel it's a spiritual and cognitive event. These events are recorded for others to see also. Isn't it enough just to see? When will you people get over bringing souvenirs home?

Answer 7

a great question. but i can't see how ppl can go to the future or the past. we need some sort of field, force, or something.

Answer 8

Yes, I agree. It was featured in the excellent book, Lightning by Dean Koontz. Read it and you will realise that, in theory at least it is possible.

Answer 9

I highly doubt this. Sounds fantastic yes - but only that, not realistic. Although with this time travel prediction, I would gladly welcome the opportunity to be wrong in my opinion.

Answer 10

Its 100% impossible...no human-kind can make anything like that...
