I would love to go into a palentology class and learn about creatures that lived in the past. Then we will take field trips as a class and blast ourselves back in time to see the real thing. That would be the ULTIMATE high!

I think people are far too pessimistic about time travel. Though, all of our ideas about it are just theoretical, theres alot of evidence that supports the possibility of it. And it wouldn't neccessarily result in paradoxial occurances, depending on your interpretation of the many worlds theory. I suppose this isn't really an answer to your question, but I'm just saying: keep the hope and it could happen someday. Because you're right, it would be awsome!

Not only would we have to travel back in time, but we would also have to travel in space, to where the Earth was 100 million years ago. The Sun and Earth are moving at an incredible speed through space. If we go back in time about 2 minutes without taking into account the distance, we would find ourselves in the middle of empty space.

This is NEVER going to happen. Mainly for two reasons:

1. If travelling back in time is possible, why have we never seen visitors from the future?

2. Travelling back in time may give rise to paradoxical situations. For example, a person going back in time and triggering a sequence of events that would result in the death of his father.

Whatever physical theories that exist to prove the possibility of time travel are just theoretical. Physics has always been a science of hypothetical situations than real applied practices.

Nope, A Violation of the Conservation of Energy. But a Nice Fantasy Though.

Go to the physics questions and ask there. This is not a biology question.

(I do agree it would be the ultimate high, though!)

to bad it will never happen would require -speed of light travel...
