Is time travel scientifically possible?
    #9661631 -

watching lost, b lazed on a firecracker with a gram of dank, got me thinking.

Anyone know or have theories? I like the idea that you can travel but not change the past

That'd be sweet.
But i dont think it's possible.
I have no theories to back it up.
i just dont see it happening.

I think it's possible.

However, if a human did ever manage to travel back in time, I think the consequences and the experience itself would be far differ from what anyone has been able to imagine. Travelling forward in time, I'm not sure how that would work.

It is a fascinating question though.

Scientists think that you can travel back in time if you exceed the speed of light. Scientists also say that if you travel at the speed of light for several years through space, when you get back to Earth you will be ahead of your time by several years. Meaning everyone who was your age will be much older than you physically by the time you get back to Earth.

As I understand it, the speed of light is a "cosmic speed limit" if you will. I do not think it is possible to exceed it.

Time travel may not be like going literally forward and backward in time, time is simply malleable, it is something that is mysterious, not just linear and dualistic.

You think we would notice someone from the future who came back by now?

Yes, light is the fastest thing known to science. I think this is one thing that makes black holes so fascinating. They are so powerful that light cannot escape one's grasp.

Didn't Einstein contemplate time travel was possible if we went a million miles an hr backwards? I remember hearing or reading it somewhere; hopefully some one can back the claim up. Personally to me I believe it is possible. If scientist can read the rings of space and determine things about our universe all the way back from the bing bang; what if we could hop on one of those rings and go back to a certain place in time? I hope for the possibility of time travel, but fear what could happen if it was possible.

haha probably not.

Maybe there is people from the future, and we just dont know it.

I think some of my bestfriends are from the future.

That may be true in theory, but you'd have to start a million miles ahead of whatever location you wanted to "visit" and I don't think you'd be able to interact with people from the "past" that way, you'd just be an observer with the odd ability to provess visual information at over a million frames per second.

Of course its possible. Lookup nonlocality principle.... if every thing in the universe was simultaneously every other thing than you ARE timetravel and have simply not discovered and transcended your current boundaries hindering you from the awareness of the being that is you, right now in your past, and in your future... If everything is one at every instant... than tell me where is the past ? 

So yes it is scientifically possible. Explain time dilation... and you know, at a certain point, the equation for gravity flips and all gravity, the foundation of our universe, Gravity, the force in between matter that is infinitely every possibility simultaneously, Gravity flips, inverses in other words and becomes i.

I stands for imaginary.

doesnt that mean that the light is moving faster than its normal rate if its being sucked into something else? time travel is so fucking confusing in my eyes. i dont think we'll ever grasp a hold on it. that LHC a couple of months back, supposedly the protons spinning around in the thing travel are traveling at the last decimal before the speed of light. if its true than thats basically ur proof that it aint possible to travel beyond it. i wish i knew why nothing can travel faster than light..  wtf is light anyways? is it just energy or does it actually take up space as like an object sitting infront of us??

edit: also.. what if you were traveling in your car at the speed of light and you decide to turn on your headlights or your dashboard lights turn on.. wtf would happen?? its all a huge paradox..

This is precisely why I decided to major in physics.

Unfortunately I have to deal with, "what is the cars velocity when it hits the other car?" shit for a while before I get to the good stuff.

No.

I don't get how anyone would think it's possible...

maybe some type of knocking someone out for a few hundred years and implanting them in the future,

but we're not gonna rip through the space time continuum and end up in 15,000 bc,

there's no way.

think about it.

However,

what's far more likely is the existance of parallel universes. Out there somewhere may be exact copies of planet earth, billions of them, with exact copies of each and every person who has ever lived, except some are a few hundred years behind us, some are a few hundred years ahead..

personally I don't think human beings can really comprehend the whole mess that is OUR EXISTENCE,

i could go on forever :smile:

I guess that's why some scientists speculate that you can time travel if you could enter a black hole. I think light is just as mysterious as gravity. It seems like we don't really know anything about it. It's some type of energy.

Much more likely that the answer to what could be called "time travel" is indeed located in the depths of the universe,

I doubt there will be a kind of "time machine" that takes us back in time on our OWN planet,

but hell,

someday we may be able to harness the power of a black hole or make some kind of device that shifts us through parallel universes,

it's fucking insane if you ask me,

gahhhh i love this stuff lol.
