Do you think Time Travel is possible?

Then you best rethink it. We travel into the future all the time. It's called time dilation and it's well documented and observed, and something we must engineer around to make some things, like comsats, work.

Some years ago some physics students traveled around the globe by commercial airlines, about 600 mph per flight, which is 1/6 mi/sec. They started their trek with two synced atomic clocks, one went with them on their flights and the other stayed back at Georgia State U. in a lab. When they returned after circling the Earth, the clock off the plane was measurably behind the one in the lab. That was the slowing down of time on board the airplanes as predicted by the special theory of relativity.

And that means, relatively speaking (get it?), the lab's clock ran faster. So when the students returned to the lab, they were several seconds into their future as their time ran slower on the plane than the time in the lab (and the rest of Earth).

And, get this, it makes no difference how fast we go. Whenever we move relative to some fixed point, our time relative to that point runs slower than at the point. We don't notice that, because the difference is measured in nano seconds(1E-9 seconds). But we are constantly traveling into the future by just a smidgen when we move.

On the other hand, time travel into the past is impossible. "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking" is a Discovery Channel mini series that spends one hour on time travel. Even the highly infeasible scheme of using wormholes is impossible, according the Hawking, because positive feedback of the ambient radiant energy at both ends would immediately destroy such wormholes. Bottom line is that travel into the future is done daily, but travel into the past is impossible.

I suggest you read about time travel in "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene.

Hopefully one day it will be. I Would love to travel back to the 80s 90s & early 2000s as a teenager.

Stephen Hawking thinks the world's physicists are wrong believing that time travel is impossible.

Personally I think it may be possible in theory but will never be it practical.

Yes just get the car up to 88mph

hi michael,

well it is not possible right now. Time travel relates to lightspeed.
my science physics teacher told me if it reaches lightspeed, time would stand still at that moment, but then nothing happens. (lightspeed is the speed at which light travels in a vaccum, the fastest speed ever possible on earth) it's 3x10*8 ms-1.(lightspeed).
no, I don't think it's possible, and I won't want any time travel, because if you turn back time, none of this would ever have happened, I would have lost everything. turning back time won't solve the problems; it is the same kind of thing you have dealt with: you have done that already. in fact, time travelling might actually make things worse: filled with uncertainty and worry what to do next if things alter. If you turn back time, things would have changed, you wouldn't know how to handle it: there's two of you! one from the past and one from the future! omg! "great scott!"
Hope this helps. I should probably go back to my jedi trials.
and then again, may the force be with you :)

kind regards,
