Strangely, the Top Contributor is mostly wrong.

He's right in saying 'there's no master clock ticking the moments away.' But that's what makes time travel a distinct possiblity.

Anyway.. though your question was very poorly worded.. the answer is 'Yes.'

Time, like so many other things, is relative. Time moves slower the faster you are moving, or.. more specificly, the closer to the speed of light you get. So.. if you go very near the speed of light YOUR relative time would move more slowly compared to the rest of the world. So when you stopped, you would have only experinced a couple of hours, but the world would have experinced hundreds of years.

And, furthermore.. this is always happening, because you're always moving. It's just that with the speeds we're used to, we don't notice it as much.

Once you've acheived lightspeed, time stops. Though you might experince a trip of several years, the Universe around you will not have aged a day. And if you were to go faster than light speed, you would actually being to move backwards in time. Right now, these ideas are both impossible. But who knows what ideas tomorrow holds?

Not only is time travel possible, it's common-place. The real trick would be to cease moving.. maybe time wouldn't pass at all, then?

No. Time travel in the sense of physically moving from now to the past or future doesn't make any sense. There's no such thing as a 'past' following along behind us, nor a 'future' waiting up ahead for us to arrive. Time is not a *natural* feature of the universe; there's no Cosmic Master Clock ticking off the correct time for the entire universe. Time is strictly a human invention we use to separate events.

if you mean humans flying like birds in the future, we have already done it now.. there is something call the alreoplane.. lol.. but seriously, i don't see any reasons for humans beings evolve to be able to fly.. but in the first place, our bone and body structures don't allow us to fly..

if you are talking about travelling through time, unless u can generate something that can provide a time machine with energy equivilent to the sun's energy, or it's almost impossible to work a time machine for it to bend space time..

Everyone travels into the future at the rate of 1 second / second.

we can fly but with the help of technology and impossible in a naked body. obviously, we can fly in the weightless space
