All you gotta do is start in new york, take a jet plane and land in TX. There, you're already a couple hours behind and you can relive the two hours in tx which you've already lived in NY. I mean technically that can be true about time travel right?

Thanks people. I don't however believe in time travel. I only believe in now, past and future. This question was merely to make one think.

no because time zones are made up and don't make a difference. time zones are in fact useless. you could use the same argument for daylight savings which is also equally useless.

Well, even without travelling in the three dimensions, time travel is possible. We made it from yesterday to today without much problem. I look forward to travelling to tomorrow. Getting there second by second.
However, so far time travel at a different rate than what we already do is just theoretical. There is also a lot of time travel woo woo crowd out there who believe it is done all the time by secret government agencies or whatnot. However, the idea of a person getting into a machine and stepping out of the machine in the 1800s(or some other time destination) is just not a reality.

But then you'd skip those 2 hours again once you got back to New York. It's not really time travel persay, because that would mean if you called someone in New York at 5:30, while you were 2 hours back, you wouldn't be calling them from across the time-space continuum. You'd be calling them from Texas.
And if you flew to California, and called that same person (re-living the phone conversation), they would think you were nuts because they still remember the conversation from the previous time. It's only you are transported back into a time period, not a time zone.

That isn't time travel, it is time zone travel. The SST used to take off from Heathrow at about 11 AM and land at New York at 8:30, but it spent 2.5 hours in the air while crossing five time zones.

u cant travel through time. And theres no theory that says u can travel in the past or the future. As far as i know you can stop time according to the quran the prophet muhammed went to heaven and when he came back the time was still the same

Not yet, probably never, although Einstein's theory of relativity does promote bending time in upon itself. That's a simplfied explanation because I am not smart enough to quote the whole thing.
I wish it were possible to go back and look at how things really were. Ah, to be an observer of real history!

Um, no. Time travel means you go back in time. When you move, you're just changing th hour hands on your clock.
Can't I change my computer clock to June 23, 3020 and rightfully say I've traveled to the future? Of course not.

No that just shows relativity. It's a different time zone, so yes, the hours change and go back, but everything is still happening at the same time

No.
You have to travel faster than the speed of light.
