How would it be possible to time travel. Cause u have to make a way to take down ur molocules or sumthing like that right. Can someone please explain this 2 me?

Some theories, most notably special and general relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of spacetime, or specific types of motion in space, might allow time travel into the past and future if these geometries or motions are possible.[9] In technical papers physicists generally avoid the commonplace language of "moving" or "traveling" through time ('movement' normally refers only to a change in spatial position as the time coordinate is varied), and instead discuss the possibility of closed timelike curves, which are worldlines that form closed loops in spacetime, allowing objects to return to their own past. There are known to be solutions to the equations of general relativity that describe spacetimes which contain closed timelike curves, but the physical plausibility of these solutions is uncertain.
Physicists take for granted that if one were to move away from the Earth at relativistic velocities and return, more time would have passed on Earth than for the traveler, so in t

You can't. "Time travel" is a bastardized term, meaning it's not legitimate because it implies time is a substance that can be traveled through or transversed, which it isn't. Time is basically one way to measure entropy within a system. It isn't a thing.
However, let's say there is a city in Idaho named Janus, and that Janus has a Main Street that intersects with a 5th Street. If you wanted to be on the southeast corner of Main and 5th in Janus, Idaho at 7:01 a.m. local time last Monday, then you could do that, and it doesn't involve "time travel". The Universe is the totality of existence. So in essence you would simply be suddenly existing in another part of the Universe. This can involve teleportation but it isn't even necessary.
This type of thing occurs constantly, where something which was or wasn't a part of a "past" you remember suddenly does or doesn't exist there. Events occurring on a quantum level cause the change to the Universe. All that is needed, then, is to precisely manipulate events occurring on a quantum level so that the event you wish to occur then does.

We have this misconception that time is absolute. In reality we are all time travelers and we travel through time at different rates depending on our spatial velocity in an inertial reference frame.
Will we ever be able to time travel using a "wormhole". No. Its not forbidden by physics but the obstacles that lie in the way are insurmountable. John Wheeler has published some excellent technical papers in this field and details those obstacles.

You can't travel in time to any degree what so ever. When you take a step forward you are in a different spot and everything in the universe is in a different spot and there is no way to change that. Simplistic, but true.

Time is time: always in the present, as in the now. How can it be possible to either go backward or forward in time. There is no way possible. Bettyk

what Einstein said was "time is like a river. Some areas flow faster than others. some areas are nearly stagnant. but time, like the river, flows only one direction"
it is possible to travel into the future by making your localized rate of time slow down whilst the universe progresses around you. Park yourself near a strong gravitational field for example. it is not possible to travel backwards in time.
and for the previous answerer who suggests time is a figment of our imagination. Space and time interact to form a four dimensional continuum. see here.

First of all, to time-travel you would need to be able to go faster than the speed of light, which is impossible to begin with. But if you could do that, time would slow down, since time is relative to the observer. Long story short, faster than speed of light = going to the past, but it would be impossible, even if you could travel faster than light, to visit the future.

Time travel presents all sorts of pardoxes and is almost certainly impossible. I'll change my mind when someone from the future visits. I do think though, that in the next hundred years, extraordinary life extension and suspended animation will be scientific realities.

Like Einstein said universe is like a fabric. If you can fold the "fabric" you can travel from point A to point B in a flash.
If you can fold the fabric you can bent the time, then you will be able to time travel.
This might be possible in the future.

In that case I could have used a time machine to travel to the future to find the best answer and put it in this place. But as it was not done there is no time machine. and time travel is not possible

Gravity and velocity affect time, so go ahead and make up your own theory- I have heard some whoppers, but some that make sense. Just not very many.
