Do you think there is a "void" or "wormhole" that we can tap into to let us travel through space and time?

time is a manmade measuring device and isn't something you can travel through

Most likely. Einstein's Theory of Relativity has mathematically proven it. Scientists have measured the changes of time with our astronauts traveling in orbit and found their timekeeping devices to be out of sync with the ground upon their return....in other words, a few milliseconds behind.
Basically putting it, the faster you travel, the slower time goes for you, as observed by someone not traveling. The traveler will not notice anything different with themselves, or their chronometers. If the traveler moves at great velocity, such as maybe half the speed of light, for a day, upon their return the traveler will discover that many days would have passed here on Earth. To the Earth observer, the traveler would have appeared to move in very slow motion. So, the faster you travel, the slower time travels. The closer you are to light speed, the slower time moves. At light speed, time stops. Faster than light travel will cause time to move backwards.
So, if you want to go to the future, you'll have to travel at light speed. If you want to go back in time, then go faster than light. Easier said than done of course
In order to increase velocity, more and more energy is required. The mass of the ship too will have an increased effect. Not to say that the ship will get bigger, it's more like it will seem heavier for the energy that's pushing it. You would basically need infinite energy for light speed. Not theoretically possible.
As for wormholes, black holes, etc., still the stuff of science fiction. We would have to get to these places first, and many of them are many light years away. Warp speed? Sorry. Way beyond us. A jump from zero to light speed is impossible being the inertia would smash a ship flatter than a pancake.

If time travel is possible, it would also mean that our future is predetermined. This is how I believe it works. Our future is a selection of countless different possibilities, much like quantum particles, that exist everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Only when they are observed do they have a location. If our future works in a similar manner, witnessing time travel would be a case of observing it, thus everything that happens in the future will lead to the timetraveller existing. Time travel, in my opinion, would take away our illusion of being in charge of our own futures. It is a bleak prospect.

To travel physically in time, the past and/or future would have to physically exist. Otherwise, you couldn't go there. If the future physically exists, then everything is predestined, so don't worry about it. If people could go back in time, it might well be recorded in books, papers of the time and we would know that some time in the future, somebody had gone into our past.

No, I don't think it's possible to physically travel to a time other than the present.

It's been shown to be possible IN THEORY. We know by what people found out by building on the work of Ein Stein. It has to do with superstrings, meaning that we include a model of the universe with more than four dimensions. They think there are a total of ten dimensions.

We are a long, long, long way from implimenting that knowledge into a reality, my friend. If man ever gets there, we will be long gone at the time.

If it was alright by Einstein, who knew a heck of a lot more about this stuff than I do, then it is alright by me. Until someone more prestigious and knowledgeable on the subject says otherwise, then I believe it is possible. Likely? No. Possible? Yes.

if it were possible to travel backward in time by means of a time machine, then one would travel backward, build your time machine and then travel further backward and build a time machine again.

since there are no time machines now that is strong evidence that there never will be a backward travelling time machine in the future either.

we travel forward in time every day. suspended animation would permit us to travel forward 'faster'. but there would be no way back.

it is not things would be so out of place and you to no its not possible in any way shape or form i cloud explain the full meaning but that would take a long time

Most unlikely. That a person could survive a trip through such a hole is even less likely.

You're traveling through time at this very moment.
