breezy047:if at all its possible, no one can visit you from the future because you are what determines the future, your actions today is what determines tomorrow. |

Guys will you say that fry time travelled when he woke up from the cryogenic chamber in Futurama? (travelled to the future that is). |

benbuks: I've been Dear OP, I empathize with you but the truth be told. Time travel is almost as impossible as trying to piece back to flesh a cremated man. The closest you can get to time travel is mind travel. The human brain is capable of engaging in time travel by way of recollection or projection. I'm pretty sure you do that often already. Please don't mix this up with spirituality. That is another topic. |

mahtma: You dont understand. When you time travel, you go to the past or future. If the human race did succeed in developing a time machine in the future, people of that future would have been travelling to the past. We are in their past so we would have contacted them. The non occurence of that signifies that the human race will never get to that stage and develop a time machine till the earth ends. |

breezy047: Assuming time travel is possible: it's we here who can travel to the future, there's no one practically based in the future or the past that can come visit the present. only those in the present can go to the future and come back to the present. So we are no one's past or future, it is us who have a past and a future and can visit them. |

haibe: if at all its possible, no one can visit you from the future because you are what determines the future, your actions today is what determines tomorrow. Bro if time travelling were possible you could visit someone in the past. Its a documented theory that you could even watch yourself being born in the hospital if you can time travel back to that moment. |
Re: Time Travel : Real Or Fictional .. .?(how Possible) ? by haibe(m): 6:09pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
breezy047: For past yes because it has happened. For future, No because it has not yet been determined |

Traveling at the speed of light still doesn't make time travel possible. Einstein equation: E=mc2.....if this is possible at all, it simply means....(speed of light squared multiplied by your mass)...by then, you will exist, not as a human being anymore, but as ENERGY IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM. |
Re: Time Travel : Real Or Fictional .. .?(how Possible) ? by mahtma: 6:22pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
breezy047: What am saying is that we don't need the past folks to to visit us before we can think of time travel to be possible we just need the right thinking and Almighty God authority. We have been transporting particles ,photons back in time instantaneously faster than light using principles of Quantum Entanglement the 1 Einstein disbelieve. |

mahtma: This is like saying we dont need a man to sleep with a woman for us to have babies. If the sperm hits the ovum, babies would be the result. Likewise if mankind did achieve time travelling, folks visiting us from the future will be the result. |
Re: Time Travel : Real Or Fictional .. .?(how Possible) ? by Nobody: 6:34pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
haibe: So basically are you saying time travelling to the past is impossible but time travelling to the future may be possible? |
Re: Time Travel : Real Or Fictional .. .?(how Possible) ? by paulemi(m): 6:48pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
haibe:Ermmm....my point really is that you can't talk time travel and be talking classical physics. Relativity theory and other physical laws will not help here as there's no geographical location called the past or future. |

breezy047: May be I don't understands your point what am saying is that internet was invented in the 20th century used by 20th century folks till today 21st century since the invention we cant send messge to past folks neither they can send to us what ever we invnted it within our time frame to future and to the day it was invented.

ghostofsparta:If indeed you want to learn and not just being sarcastic, then Google what Einstein's Theory of Relativity is about; and of course you will see the Mathematical equations which predict these facts. And yes, they are facts as they have been backed up by experiments long before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) existed. Of course LHC has been useful in recently proving the existence of the "God Particle" or Higgs Boson which Peter Higgs had predicted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation Clocks on the Space Shuttle run slightly slower than reference clocks on Earth, while clocks on GPS and Galileo satellites run slightly faster.[1] Such time dilation has been repeatedly demonstrated (see experimental confirmation below), for instance by small disparities in atomic clocks on Earth and in space, even though both clocks work perfectly (it is not a mechanical malfunction). The laws of nature are such that time itself (i.e. spacetime) will bend due to differences in either gravity or velocity – each of which affects time in different ways.[2][3] |

haibe: not everything beyond human thinking is sprirtual some science are spiritual for example the way u will look like is already folded in or DNA. DNa is just a chemical imagine or life is a chemical that is not up to strand of hair isn't that spiritaul? |

I don't know about traveling back in time but I think it's possible to travel to the future cos it's something i've done severally. A lot of things that have happened to me physically in life,are things that I have seen and experienced mentally(not in my sleep). They happen in my thoughts and I visualize them and feel myself experiencing those things,and they later on,happen to me same way in the physical. Sometimes,I feel it has to do with the meaning of my native name(it means the one who see the future). So,when I tell people I have lived in my future,they don't get to understand me. I feel it's possible to travel to the future;not the past. |

i stil beleive only data cn time travel. 100yrs 4rm nw, if i kip my mmc or hdd safe, my great grand kids wud have a feel of d past by playing d videos or viewin d pics just lyk hw i ve a glimpse of my dads' via his old pics. Thats d best i tink time travelling cn reach. Cos no matter hw much i move at d speed of light, i dnt tink i wud see ma grand kids wen i neva even mari at present. Jst ma opinion 1 Like |

Harhzyz: If time travel becomes possible then it means there is no God and that we humans are gods. You are right! A God is someone who had acquired vast amount of knowledge and can almost use at least 80 percent of their mind/brain capacity. An ignorant human today could possibly time travel 2000 years into the future, find a solution to a big problem, regress back in time and get problems solved. It's been done so many times in our past history. |

Op it can be possible,have u ever notice some event happens twice in someone's life,let me explain like sometimes wen u are doing something it will just look as if u have done that thing before,have u ever notice that? |

dancok: Op it can be possible,have u ever notice some event happens twice in someone's life,let me explain like sometimes wen u are doing something it will just look as if u have done that thing before,have u ever notice that? That is not time travel or time reversability but it is an inherent properties of our brain the brain is always working to ensure that we aren't in oblivion of our awareness. The brain always try to solve the puzzle of where am I by using all the available existing data from memory. Thats u will feel as if u had that experience in the past. This is not just philosophical assertion but a scientifical explanation for conditions like dejavu. |

benbuks: I've been I have read most post, people seem to be mixing time travel up with all kinds of supernatural myths. Remember Einstein formulated relativity in the early 1900s, so it's almost a century old idea, and should be easy to explain. Time travel is not really in the sense that you can start up and walk into your past, rather it is expressed in two forms by A. Change of speed and B. Change of location. I will explain A. Change of speed first. But to understand me, you need to first understand the Space Time continuum. :- in your human experience, space seems to be static, an unchanging reference right? Infact that's what Isaac Newton thought and based most of his theories on, but Einstein proved that space alone Can not be used as a static reference. The trick here to realising this lies in vector resolution of relative velocities. In a world where space is static or at rest, an object traveling with a certain constant speed in space will have different velocities when observed from various reference positions also traveling at varying speeds and directions. This is what we observe readily on earth. But Einstein discovered that no matter the reference frame from which you observed a streaming beam of light, it was always traveling at the same velocity C. C is that famous 3 x 10^8 m/s that we all learnt about in school. This should not be so if space was truly static. The only way to explain Einsteins observation is to factor in time in the static reference frame, so that we have a Space-time matrix for reference. It is when you factor in time experience of your reference frame that you will with ness the fact that time contrasts or dial antes depending on you velocity in space, it is this change in time that ensures that the speed of light measured from different references of various velocities remains same constant C. It follows that C is a very pretty special number, Infact it seems that nothing can travel faster than this velocity no matter how much acceleration you put in due to the space time relation. |
