Time Travel is a very kool but also very scary thought.The paradoxes involved are literally ENDLESS. You could say that if Time Travel is to be accomplished in the future things should start changing in the present, but would we realize things had changed, or would our minds accept the new reality as the Status Quo?? Or would the human race even exist after the prehistoric past had been tinkered with. Like I said it's a truly scary thought.

A kind of time travel is feasible. It's called relativistic time travel and has to do with Einsteins relativity and the apparent difference in the rate of time between one person moving near the speed of light and another person stationary relative to the first one.
Time travel like we see in movies and read about in sci-fi novels is *not* possible because time itself is not a *natural* feature of our universe. There's no Cosmic Master Clock ticking off the correct time for the entire cosmos, thus there's no physical 'past' following along behind us, nor a physical 'future' waiting up ahead. Time is strictly a concept developed by sentient beings like us to separate events into what we perceive as 'past,' 'present,' and 'future.'

Time travel is not possible. The idea of it was made in some hollywood basement. There's theories however that its possible to "slow down" time through traveling at the speed of light, but I don't know about that. I remember hearing that in high school physics but who knows. Lets focus on a cure for cancer or alternate powered vehicles first.

Yes. In fact, it is already possible, but not understood by the majority of our scientists. Only the elite. There are energetic portals and there are grids and our 'time-travelers' and extraterrestrial brothers use this in order to accomplish this.

i don't believe we have the intelligence enough to make it possible, not in our lifetime, not in any other human being's lifetime, probably the only possible way it could happen as i see it, is if an alien species introduces the technology, intentionaly or accidentally...ie.ufo crash

Even if it were possible the ethical questions and the potential for abuse would be endless.
