I just posted an answer. After I did it said
"-375 second ago" After I hit refresh it said "-320 seconds ago.
That is so weird. It's now at -209.

Anyone else have this happen?

And I just got 2 points for editing my question. Okay, what is up with Y!A??

Thanks for playing along guys! I really thought the glitch was funny.

"At first glance it seems quantum theory would allow time travel on a macroscopic level, which people could use. The Feynman some over histories would include histories in which space time is so warped that it is possible to travel in to the past, if the chronology protection conjecture holds then when space-time is warped enough to make travel into the past possible, virtual particles moving on closed loops in space time can become real particles travailing forward in time at or below the speed of light. As these particles will make several laps on there loops their energy density becomes enormous. Which may effect a positive space time curvature and there canceling the sufficient negative curvature required to travel into the past.
It should be noted that it is not know if the effect would be positive or negative curvature of space-time so that the question is still open for debate."
Might not the universe conspire against our cleverness.
Just thought I would point one possible flaw.

I read a Science Fiction short story once upon a time about a time viewing machine that would let the user set the latitude and longitude along with a setting for the year,month, day, hour, min. and second in the past. You can imagine the chaos among the politicians and criminals!...:) It ended civilization as we know it. I think the story ended with some kids using a wrist version to play hide and seek. You may be on to something!

If time and light are relative to the past, present and future, are you in current time because you see with current light? And if you traveled faster than current or ambient light to a point and looked at time on a watch, would that be current time with old ambient current light available or would that be past time, as you wait for future (formally past or current light from where you came) light to catch up with you? Would the watch turn back as the former light caught up. LOL is that an answer?
answer: Yes and No and if you understood that question/answer you are definitely a product of the sixties and seventies, mind travel
Edit... Which is faster, time or light?

ofcourse time travel is true. we all move forward in time. but you mean time travel backwards or forward(in speeds other than normal movement of time)
to that my personal view is no i have two objections:
1- theoretical: whenever you go to some time, you change your own time, as every aspect of past,present and future is linked by causation.so if you change your "presnt time" you create a paradox as you will never have done what you did to go to the particular time and create the paradox in first place.
2-practical- practically, except very far out space, everywhere there is matter, so whichever place you trnsport yourself in time ther will be some matter even if only at a gaseous state, so your own bodies molecule will get jammed wih the present matters molcules.

Most people are familiar with 'traveling', but not many people are even close to 'time'. IF we don't know what time is, how could we consciously go through it? On the other hand, that's all we do...sec after sec...min. after min...tictac, tictac....time after time!0!
Good luck!

I've always wished time travel were possible. Maybe Y!A! is talking it to the next level. LOL

Yes, But I only have one forward gear and can't seem to get the reverse to work!

Not the kind that travels in a souped up Deloren.

There is no such thing as time. There is only inter-dimensional shifting of the present moment.
