by using a hypothetical traversable wormhole, we can travel through time and space. first off we'd need to build a time machine with one of these worm holes. one end of the wormhole would have to be accelerated almost to 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. this would have to be done in circular motion by containment which could encompass the massive surge of energy produced by such a motion. the other end's speed stays the same. because of a concept known as time dilation, a clock on the accelerated side would be moving slower than a clock on the stationary side. if you entered through the accelerated side in 2007, you might find yourself exiting the stationary end in 2001 because the accelerated side has aged 6 years, so you went six years into the past. the opposite would hold true as well. if you entered the stationary end in 2007 and exit the accelerated end, you might find yourself in 2013. a possible reason that no one has come back into the past yet(aka our present) is because the planet is doomed to end before we can figure out how to travel through time, or that a stretch in time has limits based on the speed at which the accelerated end has traveled, or that we can't actually ever travel through time because we never figured out how to create a wormhole.

You can travel to the past using memory and to the future using imagination. Theoretically the distant future will be far more technologically advanced than we are and if 'they' have determined how to time-travel (whole body) they should be vacationing amongst us right now (and betting on 'past' horse races?). They would likely tell us how to do it and rent out time machines. Show me a machine that will teleport your bulk without messing up a single DNA, cell or synapse and I'll help strap you in. Bon voyage.

Yes, but it takes a enormous amount of energy to get earth time to progress significantly faster than you own time. You have to travel close to speed of light away from earth, turn around, and come back. Theoretically, though, if you go fast enough, a day could pass for you while a thousand years has past on earth when you return. You can never return to the past, though.

Yes, theoretically it is possible.
Paradoxically, travelling to the "past" is theoretically impossible, because you would already have done it once (then) in order to be able to go "back"!

before each thing, it really is totally available to go back and forth into the destiny. in reality, it really is not in hardship-free words available, it really is needed. you ought to also get there swifter then commonly used in case you want, via vacationing at speeds on the fringe of the speed of sunshine. It would not change something about predetermination. it really is not available to go back and forth into the previous, regardless of the indisputable fact that the previous is determined. in case you imagine about yesterdays breakfast, and how that could be absolutely determined even regardless of the reality that you had loose will on the time, then you absolutely can see how a similar can practice to the following day's breakfast - the in hardship-free words massive difference isn't any matter if you hit upon out about it.

In theory it is. According to Einstein's Special Relativity Theory, Time changes the closer you approach the speed of light but the tricky part is that no matter how fast you move toward the speed of light, it's speed of 186,000 mps never changes but you are moving faster through time. Relative to you time passes normal. Anyone observing you would not notice no difference in the passage of time but would seem to be gone longer than you would realize.

Since the future hasn't happened yet..I'd have to say no...it's not there!
If we could actually travel thru time...the only direction we could go would be backwards..then forward only to the present..
I don't want to get all "Doctor Who" on ya....but if someone could travel space AND time...then if we left with DW and went to his future present..but only to his present not his future..it would only be ..to us..travelling across space ..not time.
I keep smelling cabbage...whats up with that???

I saw a recent documentry on TV on how it could be possible, in this science world nothing can be said impossible

Of course. We do it all the time.
Just yesterday, for example, I travelled to today. It was a long trip, took me all day!

No. It is not possible.
You may come up with a theory about it but that would not make it possible.
