Is it possible that some science fiction could be true? Or have i wachted to many Star Wars movies?

I think if any movies really detail the sci-fi of space, it would be Star Trek. Science is always changing because it is based on what is MOST plausible through experimentation. If it holds up to be true through the tests, we deem it to be true. But at one point it was a "fact" that the Earth was flat, that the sun revolved around us. People believed at one point that if we were to go 200km/h we would die. All that has changed. I am not saying to completely reject everything you "know", nor do I know anything really about space physics. I can tell you that Einstein has shown scientifically how time travel is possible, but not very probable... google out Einstein and time travel.

Read "Who's Afraid of Schrodinger's Cat?" It has a lot of info. on these topics and other scientific/philosophical theories. It isn't dry, as the info. is contained in short 'essays' (not as bad as it sounds)usually no longer than 2 pages apiece. They have a funny little drawing for the wormhole section.
Black holes exist, though it is unknown what happens when matter enters them. It just kind of disappears. Maybe it is a wormhole into another world. A lot of this stuff is hypothesis only, and cannot be proven at this point. But there is strong evidence supporting these things.
Time travel has happened, though not in the extremes seen in sci-fi. Some guy traveled a tenth (or maybe just a hundredth) of a second into the future. The way time works is: the faster you go, the slower time goes (for you). If you hopped in a spacecraft and traveled near the speed of light, then returned to earth, you would be younger than your twin brother who remained on earth. This has been proven, and has been done on very small scales.
Travelling into the past requires one to travel faster than the speed of light, which is impossible with present technology, and probably impossible with any future technology as well. As it is now, we can't even travel as fast as light.
Sci-fi is based on some hint of scientific theory. Old monster movies are based on the idea of radioactive material resulting in mutations and deformities. So it is possible that Star Wars could be true in some regards. With present technology, however, it is impossible.

Check out Google scholar, math sites and discussion sin the Physics world for reality.
Time travel is possible BUT only backwards, since it has not happened yet you cant travel into the future but you can travle back, how, not figured out yet
Yes there are wormholes, but where, not in this Galaxy, Black Holes, same thing

Hahaha, good question. Well, people are definitely speculating the possiblity that black holes are the way to go back in time. It is generally accpeted among science-fiction fanatics that to go back in time you would have to force yourself into another dimension...i.e., you you have to go to the fourth or fifth dimension, or whatnot. However, the problem lies in getting to the dimension. What device is capable of transporting a human body, with all its living cells and organs, into a completely different dimension?

Well, some believe that device is the black hole. You see, the black hole is a dead star. Our sun is a medium to small-sized star; let's put it this way: thousands of Earths fit into Jupiter, and hundreds of thousands of Jupiter's (possibly millions) fit into the sun. And that is a smallish sun. It couldn't possibly turn into a blakc hole. A black hole is a very large star that implodes form all the mass, and forms an incredibly dense, "black" star with a tremendously powerful gravitational field.

Because of this powerful gravitational field, any objects that go into a black hole are squeezed and stretched; it is completely impossible for a human to go even close to a black hole (if we could go far enough to), for fear of being sucked in and squeeze to death. But some believe that this squeezing could put you into a different dimension, and if we could somehow harness this power, we would be able to float outside of time, because we are in another dimension. Technically, they think we could stay in this so called dimension for as long as we wanted, for time would no longer affect you. And then, you could choose either to go back in time, or wait for the future. The machine that could possibly come close to harnessing the power of a black hole is at the very least, millions of years away.

Me? I think it is a load of b.s. There is no way that this could possibly work, and in the small chance that their theories are right, who could build such a machine as to resist the gravitational pull of a black hole and then manipulate it? I am a Christian, so I do not believe in time travel, but even if I wasn't a Christian I wouldn't believe in it. It is so far beyond the capacity of any life form to enter a black hole and come out alive, much less use it to travel through time via another dimension.
I hope this helps.

Black holes, yes.
Wormholes, mathematically just possible.
Time travel, yes, but oddly enough not into the past earlier than the construction of the time machine, according to the latest theories I'm aware of. (It requires a device the size of several stars, so we're not going to be building one any time soon.)

It's a little dated now, but get hold of "The Cartoon History of Time": Gribben, Charlesworth for some wonderful explanations in this area. Also quantum physics, the birth of the universe...

well, for now you've watched too much star wars.. watch those star treks too.. much to do with time warpage..

also.. in the planet of the apes movies... there's a time curve situation called the hesline (sp?) curve.. he's a faux paux scientist type presented in the 3rd of the movies (escape from the planet of the apes) who goes on about time warpages and all that.

and there's something to do about all his theories from the start of the planet of the apes movies.. since there's this huge rip in time (i guess it's a rip or a warp) and it lunges forward the astronauts to the year 39-something.... thus things have changed and as you know... apes rule..

and in the third the chimpanzies escape (cornilias all that...) and they hit the rip and go into the past... to the 1970s...

all that.. you may enjoy that.. if you're into the time thing.

maybe centuries from now we'll do that star trek time warp roddenberry theory and be able to travel time..?

but for now we'll make stories up about it.

:"D

You have watched to many Star Wars movies. Black holes are real, but time travel is impossible.

From what I remember reading years ago, there is good scientific evidence for black holes and worm holes. These are not merely science fiction.

Sure, why not? I believe that the only time that exists is NOW, and that everything is happening NOW. Everything that has ever happened, or will ever happen, is happening NOW. Everything exists NOW. The future and the past exist only in the imaginal realm. Experience is just a matter of what someone is perceiving; what they are aware of.
