Time travel isn't possible, even millions of years ahead in time. Otherwise there would be accounts of people from the future coming back in time to our time or times before ours. |

If someone goes back in time and changes events, and changes everything in the world, what happens to us? do we continue down our own path, or are we erased, and it's like a clone so to speak that takes over us? would we just fade away? just like the universe in the NOW? perhaps in an instant our memories get filled with new thoughts and old ones prior to that event erased...or if back before we are born we fade and nolonger exist, or have a different family? or something? of course if that's true maybe the timeline has already been altered, but we just will never know because memory is erased and filled in with a fake memory that we remember. fake as in we never expierienced it as we are from the future and done our events. |

There have been, but they go become a mental institution person. Seriously though, will you believe a person if they told you they are from the future? You can't rely on what they say because future events havn't took place yet for us, unlike that person. |

kingofclutch, No. That is an extremely narrow minded view on the concept of time travel. |

Also, to go back in time could possibly be only 1 way. You may be able to rewind time because it's already happened, but now you're back in time, and there is no future events that time can travel to, right? you are in the NOW, not the future, so you are stuck in the NOW and traveling ahead when there is no ahead might be harder, although there could possibly be a way to do it somehow. |

That post clearly went right over your head. |

Maybe no one has come back in time yet because WE are the first point on the timeline. The future hasn't technically happened yet. This probably sounds retarded, but it makes sense to me. |

In physics, time is described as a dimension much like length, width, and height. When you travel from your house to the grocery store, you’re traveling through a direction in space, making headway in all the spatial dimensions—length, width and height. But you’re also traveling forward in time, the fourth dimension. |

There's a theory that you can only travel back in time to the point where your time machine was invented. If you went farther back, the time machine would stop existing and you couldn't travel farther. Same with travelling before you were born. |

If anything is possible, it's probably more the "time travel forwards" variety. If you go fast enough, your time slows down, and to you, it feels like time travel. It also feels that way to the rest of the world, except they'll never see you again (except in the future if they're still around). |

Until we at least have a vague idea of exactly what time IS, no one's opinion is particularly valid. |

What would happen to us though? alter past events and change the future. Mind erased, and filled with new memories? |
|
One interpretation of quantum electrodynamics is that empty space is full of tiny wormholes through which particles from the future come and go, and manifest themselves in the present as 'virtual particles.' Even if it isn't a wormhole phenomenon, particles popping into and out of existence in a vacuum is probably stranger than time-travel, and it's a proven phenomenon. |
|
I don't think it's possible because of all the paradoxes that come with it. Take the Grandfather paradox. The only way that could work is for an alternate universe to be made. |

None of that actually explained why time travel was far fetched. You basically outlined an extremely basic version of relativistic gravitation and then re-asserted that its only possible to move forward in time; something that relativity does not support. |

Time Travel cannot exist, because time is not something you can move across. |
|
Well if time is somehow circular (i.e. everything will happen over and over again) then all you need to do is wait for a very long time and voila, you're in the past. But that would also cause problems, such as meeting yourself. |

Holy shit, i am time traveling right now, and now, now, now. We are all time traveling, if you get what i mean. |
