Answer 9

For us to be able to travel at the speed of light is simply unattainable. Therefore, to travel backwards in time is unobtainable, too. I think I look like a twenty-years old when I look in the mirror, but that is unobtainable as well. The promises of all religions for an after life are also completely unobtainable. That's a few. An individual man will never be able to travel to the stars and return alive. He'll die en route. Not a job I would want to volunteer for.
