I think it's ok as long as you don't mess up anything.

If we had the technology to tap into and record events from our own senses than it would appear that we have or give the illusion of time travel.But these events would be more like vivid memories than actual time travel.One such movie was Brainstorm with Christopher Walken.I am looking forward to a sequel even though this has been done in a similar way with memory implants in a movie with Robin Williams and the Matrix among others. What if extraterrestrials had been doing this with us for thousands of years? We may just represent a: "Think Tank" or a medium for new ideas or various pleasures etc. I would imagine there would have to be limits to these adventures especially if they were interactive. Many of which wouldn't necessarily be any real threat to our evolution.That is, provided we ever get to have one. Our world may just be limited by controlled extinctions thru what appears to be natural catastrophes or cyclical events.

Yes, I would make my life a whole whole lot better.
It would be a shame that maybe people I'd anoyed might try to reverse that, and I'd keep having to go back and fix it. Very annoying. But if I could go back and forth in time, I'd have all the time in the world.
It would certainly need to be controlled though.
But corruption happens in all spheres of technology, I don't feel this a reason to completely outlaw the technology, but is definitely a reason to limit it. The same way that people need to stopped from setting off nuclear bombs willy nilly, but in principle the technology for them can hugely benefit society and research needs to continue. Or that ballistics is a useful subject, but not everyone should get ot have a gun.
I would go back and do some more work, instead of procrastinating on Yahoo answers, and contribute a lot more to society with higher grades!!

Back: NO!
It is possible, but it certainly is NOT alright. If you alter events in history, then the you in the present will have no need to go back in time to fix that period in history, and so, there won't be anyone around to change it, so the present you WILL have a need to go back in time etc. etc. and there will be an infinite loop in your timeline. Even if you didn't do anything, just as a passer-by, you will definitely affect someone or something, which will also cause a loop/blank in time.
2. Forward: Yes, but not recommended.
It is definitely possible, in fact, we are doing it this very instant. But massive leaps and bounds forwards into time can cause a bit of a problem. If your future self sees you and dies of shock, you would have successfully committed suicide.

as much as i really want to time travel, its too dangerous to travel back in time
its less risky to travel to the future
cuz one rong move in the past can change the entire future...
there was this movie i forgot the name of
they make a time machine for ppl to go back in time to kill a dinosaur and they make sure that they kill it the sec it supposed to do so no harm done
but this one guy got scared and killed a butterfly and the other ppl turns the filter off cuz of the expense
the entire world started to change.
each less complex species changed, it pre-evolved
then it was down to the humans and this one guy got to the time machine and when to the time the mistake happened at the last sec and fixed it
he screamed at himself to check the filter
then disappeared
that gixed everything
but in the movie, he just killed the guy who made the mistake
in the book, there was an election
the good guy whoi was supposed to win lost and the bad guy won the election
and the world was moved back like 1 century in sciencific advances lol
in the movie, the humans changed into this wierd slimy white thing
it looked like chimera if u have ever seen yugioh
for the future, u should only tell the future ppl out history not to learn of our future or else everything might change

NO actually i dont. Yes it would be pretty damn cool, but think of all the things that could go wrong. If someone were to go back in the past and leave something from the future there, it could change everything in the past, even their existence. I think it is Way to dangerous to time travel, it just screws things up

Alright? I guess you mean is OK to do so. Hey man.....what ever what ever.
Now can you travel in time? Nope!!
Personally I would not want to do so. I am 65 years old and would not want to go back even 100 years to a time when deseases were pandemic and if you got sick you died. And I would be out of place big time any where in the future.

That depends on how it works:
Possibility A: Traveling backwards in time brings you to a previous part of OUR time line, and history can be edited. In that case, absolutely not. Unless you wanted to live in a very unstable world. And what happens when someone alters history and you don't exist? Is it murder? And if it is, why does it matter since nobody ever knew you existed? And you could easily destroy yourself in the process of time travel (killing your ancestor).
Possibility B: Going backwards in time takes you to an alternate time line, since ours is always moving forward and doesn't exist in the past. In that case, sure, why not, since you avoid all the crazy paradox of normal time travel. And, also, since altering their history won't actually destroy the future (since theoretically they don't have a future, any time line can only be in one time at once according to this theory). How can they miss what they never had? And as long as you don't do anything really stupid, like assassinating the president or something, you wouldn't really change anything important. This is different from possibility A since there is no chance of causing a living person to cease existing, so no killing. Nice, right?
So if A is true, then NO! But if B is true, go for it! Assuming you figure out how of course :)
Have fun. Don't kill any of your ancestors, ok?

An adept Yogi, after fifty years of study, learned how to levitate rocks. When he told the master of this wonderful accomplishment, the master was very sad. "You have spent fifty years meditating on a rock. Why did you not just pick it up with your hands, fifty years ago, and have done with it?"
So, no, it is not alrighth to go back and fourth in time, it is a rather perverse way to comport yourself in this orderly universe. Generally, it is an embarrasing sort of a thing to have happen even by accident, certainly not to be done deliberately.

Sure, I'm OK with it, hell I think Einstein and physics itself is OK with it(just don't try travelling fast than light if you've got any mass at all, that it seems is NOT alright). As mentioned above it can cause some confusion as so few do it expect to be descrimated against say when you drivers licence indicates you've not been born yet, people are so narrow minded about such things!!!

Well like morals, its your own opinion, but the way I see it there is no problem with it, that is unless you cause things to change the way you don't want them(by changing history), Then it would only be your problem, cause no one else would notice the changing of history and circumstance. If things do go bad I would suggest that you don't tell anyone that you went through time causing things to change. (it could start a mob) Not that any of this is possible, but if it where and I where you I would go wild, go for it, travel in time if you like.
