Man is inventing & discovering many things. Can he win the war with time? I am not sure. But i 'm more than 100%sure that he can't capture GOD even 1%.
I am very eager to know about time reltivity. Please tell me what do u know my friend.May u live happy!

maybe, if you listen to late night radio like coast to coast they talk about it now and then , and one scientist says it might be possible in theory but the paradox is that you cant go back in time before the machine was invented but you can go forward till the end of time and then back to the time you invented the machine because that is not a paradox.

A Time machine already exists. It's called a Galaxy. Each Solar System within the Galaxy can be thought of as a smaller part in the time machine or a scaled down time machine where things happen a lot faster. All we have to figure out is how to use it.
The Twin Paradox by Albert Einstein is about what happens to 2 twins when one takes a trip on a space ship that travels near the speed of light. In 20 Earth years the twin returns back to Earth and he finds his brother has aged 20 years.But,he didn't. This idea challenges absolute Time in the Universe. Absolute time is not a part of the reality of the Universe we live in. Basically, the Universe is made of many small clocks rather than one big one.The clocks are really the Galaxies and Solar Systems. At least I'd like to think. Remember,if you're going through space. You're also going through time and vice versa. Hence the phrase Space-Time.
If a time machine was possible then we'd be getting visited by time travelers throughout human history from the future. Maybe we are being visited but we don't know it.

Start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

Also read Stephen Hawking's books.

The twin paradox results from the limited scope of special relativity. The relativity principle states that all observers moving at uniform velocity are equivalent. The theory also predicts that the time measured by one observer looking at a traveling observer will be different. The result is that a traveler in a rocket ship that leaves the earth and travels near the velocity of light will not age as much as the observer on earth, and when the traveler returns, he will find the observer to be older than himself. The paradox is that the point of view of the traveler is equivalent to the stay-behind observer. The traveler can say that the earth observer is moving away from him, and therefore should be age less. Of course, both cannot be right, hence the paradox.

The reason this paradox exists is that the theory does not take into account the fact that one traveler must undergo acceleration. That is included in the General Theory, which resolves the paradox.

According to Special Relativity, when someone is moving at a very high speed relative to you, their time seems to move slower. According to the theory, if twins were to be separated, and one was sent off into space at incredibly high speeds, he would come back and be much younger than his twin, because his own personal time runs slower than his twin's. There is more to it than that, but that is the jist of the Twin Paradox. We already see the effects in our world. If you sinc watches with a friend, then take a jumbo jet and fly around the world, when you get back, your watch will be a couple minutes behind your friend's, even though they were the same to begin with.

Time machines are not possible. If they were, wouldn't time travelers be visiting us right now?

the twin paradox isn't easily a paradox. it relatively is actual that twins ought to grow to be diverse an prolonged time via if one travels close to the fee of light. this would not unavoidably advise that it relatively is obtainable to bypass backwards in time, the relative costs at which we bypass forwards in time could be altered.
