Do you think time travel could ever be possible?

liah

I think I've spent too much time watching the Back to the Future trilogy.

I don't think it could be possible, definitely not in regards to travelling back in time. If it were possible, I'd imagine we'd've been aware of it a long time ago, if people were coming back then sure how wouldn't we know about it by now? As for the future, I seriously don't see how that could be possible, either. But sure, who the hell knows, the universe is full of mysteries.

Personally, I'm going to have to go with a resounding "no," final answer, sir. Really wish it were, though.. there's a lot of the past I think it'd be interesting to experience, in retrospect.

Anyone batty enough to think it's possible?

Blackhorse Slim

I'll tell you last week.

Dudess

Unfortunately, no.

And it would be the awesomest thing ever.

dilallio

Of course it's possible.

The next 3 posters will be star.chaser, Wazdakka, and Biggins

star.chaser

get the bus down to roscommon

Wazdakka

As an Engineer and somebody with a keen interest in practical Science and physics..

I'm staying right the hell away from this thread before somebody makes me headbutt my table..

Good day
*tips hat*

Ps.
:eek: 1.21 Gigawatts?!? :eek:

Biggins

My great, great, great grand children who pop-into my living room, say "yes"

As long as you don't have a pencil in your nose, you're safe enough.

genericguy

nope.

JustAddWater

my theory is that if time travel was ever invented either now or in the future then it would always have exsisted no?

If it was invented in the future people would be using it therefore it would exsist for all time so if it isn't evident now, then it's unlikely that it ever was/will be invented!

bonerm

You're time travelling right now.

kawaii

Sure we're already time travelling at an hour per hour.

We need to focus on not time travelling first.

Time travel and Jurassic Park will happen in our lifetime.

MaybeLogic

It's not possible with our current understanding of the universe but who's to say we won't learn to fold one dimension into the other, at some point in our future.

Menengroth™

I was watching a documentary there last week about time travel, fascinating stuff, Terminator i think it was called.

johnboy11

If it exists its being policed/regulated very well

com1

Yeah it is, you just have to move really really fast. Check out Albert Einstein's work on the subject... (ducks for cover...)

SV

In theory it is very possible..
Not in my lifetime though.

Voodu Child

I think if it was possible we would have been flooded with loads of fat American time-tourists, waddling around wearing bizarre clothes and gawking at our 'quaint' way of life.

Earthhorse

If it is possible, I hope it comes with a complimentary holographic companion who accompanies you in your journey to put right what once went wrong.

Yes. Check out the Philadelphia Experiment.

Oh boy!

mathie

It is indeed possible.

I am travelling through time at a rate of 1 second per second.

stovelid

I say nay - if only because of the concomitant danger of seeing Huey Lewis and The News back in the charts.

No chance.
I'm not watching Hanks after that pile of 5hite 'The Terminal'.

Depends on what your definition of time is, time and space are intertwined so if you travel fast enough you could technically travel faster than time

I guess your joking.
If not - your mixing your films up.

gent9662

Yeap I do. What are blackholes for?

meditraitor

Maybe I was dreaming but I think it will only be possible after the invention of a time traveling machine and only back as far as the invention from any future afterwards.
get it

Blackpitts

it's not possible to do time travel because time does NOT exist!
the past is gone, so it doesn't exist anymore, the future has not happened yet, so it doesn't exist either, the present is something between 2 things (past and future) that do not exist, hence time is not real.
It's like going fro Dublin to London using a motorway that is not there, you simply cannot do it.

oh, btw, you don't exist either, it's only a perception of your senses.

No, too easy to give a AH answer. Not going there. :cool:

No, I'm pretty sure I do exist.

You could if you had one of them boat-cars.

cashville

If it was developed in the future they would be able to come back in time and show us?

But I suppose why would you come back and show us anything decent with scrotes like Bush and Blair floating about.

Lia_lia

Yes.

Surely it would have to be invented first and that time may not be for a few hundred years.

And who is to say the past hasn't changed. We only know what has happened in this time line.

Son Of A Vidic

Eventually yes, but in a century or two perhaps. It's beyond the concept of our imagination right now, but hey, so was Flight and Space Travel etc.

This guy's already got a time machine and gone way back to 2007.
