Is that really possible? For me, I think someday, there will be a time machine.

Where there is a will there is a way!
One day we will surely be sitting in the time machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I've already got one!
I'm sixty and still work hard and get really tired at times but Friday nights I get into my time machine and come out with my hair done,make up on and looking 20 years younger, then I go out on the town and have a ball!
The only problem is that it only lasts until the following morning so it needs perfecting a little I think.

To travel into the future, you just have to go really fast. Through the effects of time dilation (as Levator_scapulae pointed out), you experience time much slower that the other objects (eg. the rest of the world and universe) does. Meaning, you might have 10 minutes go by but the rest of us experience a few years.
To travel into the past theoretically you just have to travel faster than the speed of light. However, this is impossible unless Albert Einstein was wrong. e=mc^2 is only part of the whole equation. Its actually e=(mc^2 + Eo)/sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2)).
Where:
Eo is energy taken up, as judged from a co-ordinate system moving with the body.
c of course speed of light
v is the velocity of what ever body you are trying to accelerate toward the speed of light.
As you approach the speed of light, mass becomes infinite meaning it would require an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light. Also, when trying to slow down something moving faster than the speed of light it would require an infinite amount of energy as well.

To build a time machine, you need lots of money.
To get that money, you need to be able to travel into the future to see tomorrow's scores and lottery results so you could bet on them and play them.
But without the time machine, you can't go into the future.
Do you see the dilemma?

Any time you are in a moving vehicle you experience a miniscule bit of time dilation. So a really really fast jet would be a sort of a one-way time machine into the future.

I think that it will be possible to build a time machine in the future....Therefor people are already traveling though and back in time....

You would have to flex the time-space continum and that is extremely hard to do. 99/100 times you will fail. If u make a mistake, the world could end. Or something would go horribly wrong. So even if there was one, it would not work.
BTW: I am younger than u...

check out this website of a claimed time traveler and his time machine, believe it or not:

i personally believe that time travelling is probably already being done right now. who knows, some people from the future could be visiting us right now! i wish i could time travel...

maybe because right now, at my age of 15 i'm here face to face with myself aging 50 years old.. she's talking a lot about myself and it was then i conclude that it was me!..
