Well, will we ever be able to? Will we be able to change it, and will those changes affect our future or simply affect the future of a different reality? Can we change nothing? Or?

We already travel through time. Usually at a rate of 1 second per second, though it is possible to move faster than that.

Travelling backwards in time probably ain't ever going to happen though.

Basically.

Although who knows. I'm hoping for parallel universe magiks to allows us to visit the past. None of this single timeline bullshit.

i take all my ideas about time travel from the classic "star trek: first contact"

didn't the Germans discover time travel like a month ago... or was that breaking the light speed barrier? Honestly, I dunno how time travel would work at all. is the 4th dimension actually time, or is time just a perception of the human mind? I am not going to say "No, it's not possible", but I will admit that I don't know the mechanics involved in time travel.

If it is invented the universe will be destroyed within the hour
humans can't handle that kind of power

Yay!!! *goes to invent* :lol: ^_^

One of the nice things about time travel, is you know that nobody's going to invent it, fuck things up, and erase all of history. Because they ever do, it would have happened already.

unless there are mutable timelines dumdum

Yeah, but even if it will have happened in the past, then the people who caused it to happen will no longer be around to cause it to have happened. So it could have never happened to start with.

There are.

even if it makes a new timeline who cares it wont happen in your timeline

Time, like four o'clock, six o'clock, March 23, and 2004 are all man-made.

The passage of time, however, is not man made.


I don't think you can ever travel through a passage of time. Time isnt a "fourth" dimension. The second dimension being able to see height, and width, the third dimension adds length. I doubt the existence of a fourth dimension, though I can't groove or disprove it either way.

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

Time works the same way.

To find a device that would be able to calculate the '4th dimension' of time is nearly impossible. I can't rule it out, but it just isn't going to happen very easily. The idea behind time travel is there is such a thing as a time-line... but there isn't. Some believe that our time-line begins and ends with a very large explosion repeating itself eternally...

I would say that to travel 'back' in time will always be something to the imagination created out of man's desire to correct past mistakes.

Something like a portal to another dimension though... that might be possible. Bending and tweaking quantum physics is just not fathomable at this point, but I must say the dream keeps people searching. I won't waste my time looking for it, but I'll be happy when someone else finds it.

If time travel gets invented in the future, then why are we not seeing tourists from the future?

That's pretty much the thing that assures that there is either no such thing as time travel or it happens in different dimensions/timelines/etc. That, or all those time traveling tourists are sneaky like ninjas.

Perhaps you should slingshot around the sun and find out...

Well if time travelling tourists have any sense, they'll dress up to match the time period. Then they'd just look like regular tourists.

With knowledge of the future!

When we are enlightened enough to realise the true nature and potential of all that is around us, and when our minds will be capable of grasping that concept rather than just reciting it and attempting to, then we'll realise that time as it is defined today isn't even existent, but merely something we perceive that way.

Then we'll truely ascend and be Everything at once, thus in all places, in all times, and capable of going whenever or wherever we want simply by shifting our consciousness so.

Or, to go back to startrek: Q. ;)

I dont think we will ever fully understand time and I hope we never do or god save us all. Some one will go back and give early man a gun and that will be the end of us all.

i wanna jerk off in the primordial Ooze.
imagine if U will a cliff with 4 rolling balls

hahaha that sure would be a sight to see.

I dont really know about time travel, but there are recent theories out about having a second dimension in time, which helps explains some of quantum mechanic theories
