We know that time can run at different rates, dependent upon where you are, so you could establish two independent pockets of time and travel from one to the other. However, this would obviously not bring you to your own past, but rather the past relative to the place you travelled from. I do however, believe that it is possible. Flying through the air was once considered impossible. Indeed, many human achievements have at one point been considered to be impossible. Ultimately, I believe that there is more to possibility than we currently understand. I believe that once you introduce possibility into a universe, it prohibits the existence of impossibility.

We see things in the far distance of space millions of years after the fact. So if you could find the light from past events in the same manner. we find microwave radiations from the beginning of the universe, which we cannot see(but observe), which is not light and secondly, they haven't "time travelled" in the sense we're talking here, they have just been present for all this while.. and how does this relate to going to the past? Side: Yes

If you could find a way to save the light from the past perhaps. Example? You don't need to "save the light" because the light always exists at that moment in time. We see things in the far distance of space millions of years after the fact. I agree with beastforever, in that I fail to see that this has anything to do with the topic. We see distant light after the fact because of the vast distances between it and us. Light has a finite speed, just like everything else. Side: Yes

Ben Tippett's formula, Exotic Matter can change the fabric of space- or to the degree of bending it, it changes through allowing us to manipulate the matter of the time and space itself. Exotic Matter allows us to time travel faster than the speed of light, however if we travel in a circular motion we should be in the clear oppose to traveling in a straight line. The difference is; IF we have to use Black holes / wormholes = we won't be able to surpass it, due to the death regardless. Collecting Exotic Matter can be the main fuel/source of it all, determining how and when we travel and what we can surpass over all. The real question is; Will there be a butterfly effect or any paradoxes? Imagine no paradoxes ever existing, so imagine; NO CONSEQUENCES = WE CAN GO BACK AND UNDO SHIT. Side: Yes

I will say yes. I do not want to sound like a shrewd, I am working on a book based on this Idea as topic, so I would rather not go into a lot of detail. What I will share. Important fact to understand our time based with the clock using seconds, minutes, and day, do not tell time. The calendar with days, weeks, months and years, also does not tell time. Everything scientifically needed to be done in order to travel in time has not even been started…………lol. I believe this to the main issue we cannot forecast earth quakes as well. Our clocks are not meant to tell time, just the speed of the earth’s rotation and its obvious by the lines of longitude. All rights reserved. Side: Yes

Please consider this. If we had predicted the technological/scientific stage which we are at today to the people of say, 200 years ago we would have been scoffed at at and possibly even locked up in a lunatic asylum. Well, at some point in the future, despite current scientific assertions to the contrary, mankind will invent a machine capable of traveling faster than the speed of light. Parallel with this futuristic space craft it is reasonable to assume that there will also be great advancements in the development of optical aids such as radio/laser telescopes. As we all know that due to the time it takes for light to travel across space we are seeing the cosmos as it was many millions of light years ago. So, in this context we must accept that the images being transmitted from earth will be traveling trough space at the speed of light. But, when our descendants leave earth in their ''faster than the speed of light'' space craft they will be overtaking the events of history and when they engage their 'optical aid' they will be able to observe history in reverse, maybe even see themselves being born,ha. Whilst that concept may not be the accepted version of time travel as most people perceive it, it is in a sense, visually traveling back in time, possibly to the dawn of mankind. Side: No

considering the fact that apparently it seems to us that time is unidirectional, by moving opposite to it, we'd be violating laws of physics, and possibly have two matter particles that are the same, and hence the net energy of the universe would not be zero, and would lead to the end of the universe due to contraction from gravitation.. Side: No

considering the fact that apparently it seems to us that time is unidirectional, by moving opposite to it, we'd be violating laws of physics A good point. However, relativity teaches us that time is not really linear as we perceive it to be. Our experience is that we always move forward through it, but that is not necessarily the case for everything in the universe. There is a hypothetical quantum particle called the tachyon, which certain physicists believe travels backwards through time. Effectively, relativity tells us that past, present and future are not ubiquitous throughout the universe and are really just words we use to describe our own experience with time. Side: Yes

There is a hypothetical quantum particle called the tachyon, which certain physicists believe travels backwards through time. I shall look into it... but if matter "travels", to a point of time that has already existed before, are we talking about matter independently being present at a moment that had aleady existed? or are we trying to figure out if we can manipulate time to make it go backwards? as in this case, we are trying to reverse the direction of time and hence as the universe has been expanding till date, would contract, (an analogy could be something like a rewind of a video footage) this would mean entropy of the world is decreasing, a violation of the second law of thermodynamics... and in this case, we are using laws of physics to prove itself wrong, a paradox.. Side: Yes
I don't think it is , scientists say it may be possible to travel into the future but the technology would have to be incredibly advanced to achieve this ; also it would require a tremendous amount of energy to travel into the future . We are still a long way off achieving such either way Side: No
Your past will appear as your present on Judgement Day when you stand before the throne of God and everything you have ever said, done, imagined or thought in every place you ever went in every moment of your time will be on display for everybody to see and you will be judged by God in accord with His word for your actions. No need for time travel, you will be there soon enough. The question is will you stand naked with your sins on full display or will your sins be covered by the blood of Christ who died for you? Will your Judge be your Savior, or will you be castaway when you are Judged by the One who would have been your Savior? Put your thinking cap on, kiddo. Side: No
No, because of the paradox you'd potentially create if you did anything in the past. I can only think of two ways in which time travel would be possible: - If your actions in the past pushed you into a different timeline. - If you were able to see the past, but you couldn't interact with it (kind of like being a ghost or in some kind of virtual reality). Side: No
