Is time travel possible?

Answer 1

Yes!

Well, in theory, at least.

The "Time Machine" would require the existence of a worm hole - something that scientists believe may exist in theory. Sadly, of course, we haven't actually found one yet, so this is all pie-in-the-sky, but if we *did* find a worm hole, then it's dead easy! (Sort of.)

Here's how we do it.....

First, find your worm hole.

Second, drag one end of the worm hole across space until it is next to the other end.

Third, drag the end of the worm hole round and round the other end, at a speed as close to the speed of light as you can.

Now, as we all know (don't we?) time travels more slowly for a moving clock. (Actually, this has been proved to be true, but that's something for another question - ask and I'll tell you how they proved it.) So, since time is travelling more slowly for the end of the worm hole that you're dragging around it will slip into the past relative to the end that isn't moving.

Lastly, simply jump in the end that you've been dragging around and you'll appear out the other end in the future. Then do it again and appear even further in the future. Repeat until you are as far into the future as you want to be.

Once you've got bored with the future (as if!) just go around the other way and you'll go back in time until you arrive back at the time you started.

You can't use it to go back into the past though, because you'll simply return to a time before you made your time machine i.e. before you dragged the other end across space.

See? It's easy! LOL

Answer 2

Of course it is possible. You're doing it this very moment. You're just not in control of it. You can't travel through time faster or slower than anything else around you. You can't, with today's technology, travel back through time to moments that have already happened.

If the technology exists today, it is being kept very hush hush because people would panic with all the what-if scenarios. The media hype would never end.

Answer 3

The only way to do it would be with a wormhole, but Hawking stated in "A brief history of time" that wormholes are incredibly unstable, and by a few atoms entering into it, the wormhole would be destroyed. There is also no way of stabilising it, as there would be no way of knowing where the other end was.

Answer 4

Yes every time you go to bed you travel forward in time by several hours.

Answer 5

Real scientists still aren't really sure. Looking into the past probably is... going into the future can be simulated with near-lightspeed travel, though you could never come back.

Answer 6

Definately.

However, we simply don't have the technology, thank god. Nor is mankind responsible enough to be popping back and forth thru time. Perhaps one day . . .

However, times arrow does flow in both directions and we know through physics that it is possible.

Answer 7

no, because if you were to travel faster and faster, when you were going near the speed of light time would slow down, and at the speed of light time stops, also if you go faster than the speed of light then you would go back in time. However any atoms that travel at the speed of light implode.

Answer 8

Of course, we are travelling forward in time all the time!

Answer 9

Yes I have done it ! forwards and backwards, so did about four hundred other people at the same time as myself. In fact I've lost count how many times I'v done it! And I bet I'm not the only one!

Answer 10

If it was wouldn't someone travel back and tell us? If so wouldn't we have always been able to do it? Is this the explaination for UFO's?
