can I meet myself coming back ?

this is a theory.
another theory is that this has already happened.....
trippy, huh?

My friend, the Universe is firstly not expanding at all and will never contract, because of the "Steady State Theory", and secondly, time and space are not related but exist as separate entities (which can be measured using mathematical equations !) that co-exist in our Universe !

The Universe is not very likely to contract. It will likely expand forever. So no, time will not rewind.

I believe since the universe is expanding, that must mean it is not infinite. It is like saying the sun is infinite. When in fact, the sun at one , was hotter. Since time is on a linear frame it can't, in theory, rewind. The law of entropy.

If the universe goes on forever, then how can it be expanding? It would already have to be there. So you assume there are boundries to the universe for it to have a stopping point. Best thing for you to do, just kick back and enjoy the ride here on earth.

Well that sounds kinda weird but if you wanna know how to travel time it's alot easier than you think.
You see a sundial clock indicates time at the current rotation of the earth around the sun. There is no way to reverse a sundial unless you reverse the rotation of the planet thereby reversing time. Thus, in order to reverse time you would need to create something that can spin in a counterclockwise motion faster than the earth's. Likewise you would have to create something that would spin in a clockwise motion faster than the earth's in order to exceed time or go to future.
The problem is this technology is inaccessible because we cannot create something that fast.

Well, what is time? It's basically the continuation of well... everything, no? People think they can control time, but time can never be stopped. They can only control the events that occur during time. It is impossible to speed time up or slow it down because you could say that time has no speed, the speed is determined by that which is happening during time.
It's hard to explain... anyhow, this is what I think. I don't have a degree, but it's hard to get around that fact so I just figure that's the way it is.

assuming it ever contracts, I don't think time will revers. Time is not exactly related so space in the sense that matter is, time is linear, therefor it would simply appear to slow as the universal boundary approached the observer, then stop all together at the apex of the collapse

Time travels in one direction.
Th universe is like a hurricane,it started as a wisp,turned into a roaring maelstrom and than eventually will evaporate.

I doubt it. Time will continue expanding. Even though time is man's invention, it will always continue, even after the destruction of the universe.

We're actually rewinding now
