Is it possilbe to travel through time?

Question

What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

It sure is.  Try astral projection sometime.  There are a number of methods...drugs can do it...or you can use I-Dosers...or talk to God, he might be able to hook you up.

Answer 2

technically speaking it is possible. we are moving forward through time with each passing second, anything further than that does not seem possible. to travel back/forward in time otherwise would most likely create some kind of crazy paradox. imagine: you go back in time and kill your past self. what would happen then? if you die you cannot, obviously, travel back in time to kill yourself. just think on it.

technologically speaking i do not think time travel, in the sense of traveling backwards and forwards, will ever be made possible.

Answer 3

Ummm. I wish, that would be fun! But no you can't, its impossible

Answer 4

smoke some herb... drink a mushroom tea, get a hit of heroin... with these u can fly to every where in any time in the past and the future! indeed u will fly to the hospital too!

Answer 5

Not that I no of. Although time travel has been a common plot device in fiction since the 19th century, and one-way travel into the future is arguably possible given the phenomenon of time dilation based on velocity in the theory of special relativity (exemplified by the twin paradox) as well as gravitational time dilation in the theory of general relativity, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow backwards time travel. Any technological device, whether fictional or hypothetical, that is used to achieve two-way time travel is known as a time machine.

Answer 6

ok ok i'll tell you the secret in time traveling grasshopper

1st you need to meditate then after 1 hour you need to put all you cash in my bank account and send me a beautiful 16 girl

then when you sleep you will wake up in the 70's

tyvm

Answer 7

No not at the moment. And it may never be. Lets say you went back and killed your grandfather. Then you would never have existed and could never have gone back in time to kill your grandfather and so on. It is also a possibility that it may alter a different time line than the one your originated from. But then how would you get back?

Answer 8

Quantum Physics

Answer 9

not unless they invent a time machine.  i don't think its possible though. time is one of those things you can't go back in or speed up no matter how hard you try.

Answer 10

we dont have the neccecery supplise for that but i think its possible, i think china has the supplise there making black holes

Answer 11

you mean like in star-trek..? not yet I hope, because someone would eventually return back in time and change our existance as we know it

Answer 12

by the help of imagination.

Answer 13

Sure it is possible.  Smart-off at your Mom again and watch her smack you into next winter!  LOL

Actually if you cross the national date line either forward or backwards, you could spend the day in tomorrow's time or relive yesterday.

Answer 14

There are suggestions from General Relativity that it may be possible.  It won't be easy.  You need to manipulate masses on the order of the size of the Sun.  And it appears that you'll only be able to go back in time to the point where you built the time machine.  So, if you build one, expect that an older you will pop out right away.

Going forward in time is easy.  You're doing it now.  Pack your toothbrush, it's a one way trip.

Going forward in time faster is harder, but still possible.  You can slow your personal experience of time down by speeding up.  So, get in a space ship, go near the speed of light, perhaps in a loop.  When you get back home, you can be much farther into future than your wrist watch says it is.

Answer 15

not backwards, but if you were to travel at lightspeed time would sort of slow down for you and speed up for the people on earth, meaning you would essentially live 5 years in the same amount of time they would live 100, which would be like going into the future.

Answer 16

They did a show on one of the Discovery Channels or A&E about just that.  They came up with possible scenarios that were crazy and interesting and finally after a couple of hrs they finally had to courage to just say no it's not possible.

FYI

Answer 17

with enough energy you can bend time,but you can only go in the future not the past.it only works when the portal was made,it could be open for millions of years and seem like its using little energy.if it were like a watch,or car and somehow had gigawatt's of power than it might be able to go into the past.but you need power for the trip back.or your stuck.

Answer 18

I think I've heard that no matter how much science develops, time travel will always remain an impossibility. Of course, they probably said the same thing about computers being connected all over the world.

Answer 19

idk i guess in away you can by your thoughts but only to the past (memories) you can dream and relive your past memories in away. and in your dreams like you dream of swiming i a lake and the next day you swim in a lake and do everything you did in your dream some may call that deshavu(idk how to spell that sry.)

                                                    thats what i think

Answer 20

Yes this is possible....IN HOLLOYWOOD!!!!

Answer 21

Maybe with the help of unicorns.

Answer 22

sure...we're moving forward as we speak!!

Answer 23

Yeah. Got to the Isle of White in England. It's still 1986 over there. Strange backward place but fun

Answer 24

I like answer number 3.

Answer 25

A good question. As your speed increases time slows. I am very much a skeptic about most theories, though most of this comes from Einstein himself.

Scientifically, the record for going back in time was set by a Russian astronomer. He supposedly traveled through less than a second of time.

Einstein proposed that all things move at the speed of light. A person who is stationary relative to a mailbox is, according to Einstein, moving at the speed of light through time. Thus, as he sped up relative to the mailbox, time would slow relative to the mailbox.

I have been told that it is "not really right" that all things move at the speed of light. All the same, it is a theory that should be taken seriously.

I'm finding this difficult to explain on line, however I recommend you read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene for more information.

In Greene's book he mentions the light clock parable.

Say we have 2 mirrors about 6 inches opposite each other. Let's say that a beam of light bounces up and down. Each time it reflects off of a mirror there is a tick. And for simplicity's sake suppose we have 1 billion ticks per second. Then suppose we strap a watch to the top of the clock. The watch would have to tick in sync with the light clock. Right?

Thus, 1 watch tick= 1 billion light clock ticks.

Now suppose we have 3 light clocks lined up and a laser is shot at an angle hitting the top of the first light clock, then hitting the bottom mirror of the second. It would then reflect off and ht the top of the the third. But what if the third watch and light clock were traveling away from the laser point at a speed near that of light.

It would take longer for the light clock to tick. The watch above it would have to tick in sync with the light watch, thus  it would take longer to tick as well. As a result, time would be slowed.

It's a difficult concept to grasp. As far as building a physical device a wormhole would have to come into play.

An Einstein-Rosen Bridge is in essence a connection between two points of space. Of course, there is at this time no conclusive proof of such a bridge.

If an Einstein-Rosen Bridge were to exist then it would most likely be tiny and unstable. A ship would have to release a sufficient amount of negative energy to keep it open. Furthermore, a ship would most likely have to be 1.5 in. by 1.5 in..

As mathematics proves, the shifting of each side of the wormhole would send the ship through time as well as space.

Einstein-Rosen Bridges are purely theoretical, and are yet to be proven.

I feel as if I've only scratched the surface, please, read The Elegant Universe, Physics of the Impossible, and any other physics books you can get your hands on. You'll be glad you did.

Answer 26

We are all travelling forward in time at the rate of 60 minutes per hour.

Answer 27

in time maybe scientist can find a way but it would probobly be in the year 3000.

Answer 28

No. Dr. Stephen Hawking has theorized that if it were even possible to attempt it, we'd burn up in the process.

Answer 29

I believe it was einstein that came up with a proposal, about moving at a speed that would change the space time continium. Albert Einstein showed that space is curved, time is relative, and time travel is theoretically possible.

Answer 30

Tick... tock...

Done.

I don't believe it would be possible to control the flow of time or to send anything macroscopic on a course to skirt the laws of space and time. According to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, an object that travels at the speed of light would bring time to a halt for that object, but it would also require an infinite amount of energy to bring it to that speed. That energy would convert to an infinite amount of mass.

A wormhole is questionable. Even if they're confirmed to exist, there's still the major problem of figuring out how to create one that's stable enough to allow for safe passage without creating some strange spacetime feedback. Then how do you point it in the exact precise location at the other end? Consider that the Earth is travelling around the sun, which travels around the galactic center at a speed far faster than any conventional means of transportation can go. If you end up in the middle of nowhere, what do you do? Take the wormhole back to Earth? Then you're back at square 1.

Answer 31

I saw something on the History channel about it. If we were to make a traveling machine we couldnt go in the past only from the time it opens forward. If that makes sense.
