my theory is that if we are able to travel at the speed of light someday, according to einstien's theory of relativity, we could travel a few light years and it would seem like 3 years have passed by but on earth it has been a hundred, and then if we can also make wormholes by bending the light rays around us, then we could bend our way back to earth and there you go. is this possible? i'm no scientist but that's what i think.

it is hard to explain wormholes, but it is when you bend light in space with concitrated gravity and you can actually bend the universe like a piece of paper.

Theoritically you are right. But it is possible only in fiction. Even if possible do not try it because you may find Earth dead (engulfed by Sun) by the time you return! You may not be a scientist but you are well aware of things. Go ahead and keep thinking different.

The problem with the wormhole situation is that we don't have the technology to be able to predict when exactly there is going to be a collapse, therefore we wouldn't be able to efficiently utilize wormholes. And theoretically, in order for us to be able to do some serious time travelling, we'd have to find a way to travel many times the multiple of C, which at this point, is not even close to being possible. I'm sure if we had the technology to use these methods, then yes, it would absolutely be possible.

time travel may not be possible but time viewing is. and your theory partly explains how. if we travel fast enough away from the earth we can eventually catch the light that was emmitted in the past. like looking at a star and realizing you are seeing it as it appeared many years ago. this would take vast sums of energy the likes of which can only be produced by anit-matter and matter being combined to create anihilation, something like in angels and demons. anti-matter and matter create pure energy and is 100 percent efficient, this is why free energy is a possibility. also einstein was wrong in stating that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light but i'll let you figure out why on your own, it's much more rewarding that way.
i haven't figured out how we could potentially look into the future since that light isn't created yet.

Time travel is possible, but not probable. Probable being the key word.
The type of time travel that you use in that context is travel into the future. Keep in mind that if you travel at the speed of light, you and your spaceship would be converted to a pure state of energy. That would not be very pleasant I would think.
Traveling into the past is impossible because of entropy (the arrow of time if you will). There is also a question of paradoxes, but for the sake of time I won't go there.
Instead of looking at wormholes as a potential time travel machine, look at them as a possible method of covering massive intergalactic distances. By warping space (and therefore time) you could travel many, many thousands (if not millions!) of light years by tunneling through, via your wormhole, space time.
Keep in mind that wormholes, if they do exist, would require an impossible, by today's engineering standards, amount of energy to keep open and stable. Obviously there hasn't been any serious conjecture as to exactly how much energy would be needed, but it would probably equal that of a giant stars entire lifetime worth of energy output.
So you're definitely close to a workable idea on time travel, but we as a society have some far reaching engineering hurdles to overcome before we accomplish time travel, of any variety.

That's not much of a theory, not until you propose a plausible way of actually making wormholes and controlling where they go.
As they say, "the devil is in the details".

First if time commute is plausible the two forward and backwards then time could would desire to be parallel and not linear. And particularly of traveling alongside a linear timeline we could be traveling in the time of, leaping sideways, with the aid of time. which might advise that each and one and all time grew to become into created, previous modern-day and destiny, on the 2nd of introduction. yet another element to think of approximately is that in case you equipped a time gadget and them projected your self to commute one million hour into the destiny. right here could be right here from now on. on the cost of the earth's rotation and orbits right here could be someplace out in area.

What if we are living in a world made up of cheese?
i have a similar thinking.
What if...
time = constant.
Energy (light) = infinite
Gravity = Energy (light)= infinite
Gravity * Energy (light)= infinite^2
thus Gravity * Energy (light)= infinite
1 second: Gravity * Energy (light)= infinite
2 second: Gravity * Energy (light)= infinite
x second : Gravity * Energy (light)= infinite
it's not possible. It's too fast. :p

currently its obviously impossible. in the future maybe why not? there ive spelled out the final answers to these questions that you get when you think about it. its the same answers that pop up in everybody elses head when you ask that question. and it will be the same for a long time to come.
