What is your opinion on time travel?

Asked by fau 7 months ago, 5 answers.

Do you think its possible? Do you think its impossible? What do you think time really is? I know its kinda a strange question but I would really like to know what you think.

I think its complicated, I mean when you think about it time is irrelevant.

The real problem with time travel is the movement of the planet earth through space. Remember, the Earth: 1) spins in it's axis,, a thousand miles an hour at the Equator, 2) is also traveling around the sun and moves almost a million and a half miles every day while 3) the sun is spinning , in one arm of our galaxy, around that galaxy at something like three million miles a day, while 4) our home galaxy is heading towards a collision with Andromedea, M-31, at a speed that can only be determined relative to that other galaxy but fast enough to scare the pants off you, AND 5) the universe is expanding, as it has since the big bang at a speed much faster than all the other motions put together. Where, in space were you yesterday and where will you be tomorrow? Traveling in time may takes some period of time itself (time then or time now?) because the trip involves quite some distance entry point to exit point.. And being off just a little could leave you inside the planet, or very far from it. All very tough.

yes time travel is possible but im not sure as to what extent. The laws of physics state that time slow's down the faster you travel. its a proven fact. Now if you were traveling thousands of miles an hour for some distance. time litterally slows down just a fraction, im talking about a couple seconds for the entire trip. like to the moon. ok so those are the facts about it.
My opinion.. in my opinion im not sure if you get up to a speed that time would start to go backwords. but it is possible. in theory though, you should be able to travel to the future. because you get going tso fast that time stops for you while the world time is still normal. So you could go on a trip for 10 years and return to earth the same age and be 10 years in the future. the only problem is our bodies can't take the G forces

yeah time travel has actually been proven but as stated, its so far impossible for the human body to take the speed that would be required to move anywhere substantial back in time. in an experiment used with 2 watches one was kept on the ground while the other circled the world in a highspeed jet and when it was over the difference in time was only off by .o004 parts of a second. the only fesible way would be to use a black hole but obviously you would be crushed as soon as you neared it
