    If you do travel through time though you start getting nose bleeds and die so that's why people don't do it.

    We'd need to build a time machine for time travel to happen, I know that's obvious but that's the only way people from the future will visit us.

    It's like a telephone, you need 2 receivers to be talking to each other.

    Please expand.

    Why would you want to go back in time? Its stupid.

    I hate all this nostalgic stuff. Nothing would change.
    If I did wrong, why would I go back in time? I'd just apologize now.
    If I told a lie... I'd just tell the truth now to right things.
    If I broke a rule... I'd own up and not do it again.

    Live for the future, its a hell of a lot better.

    I think that if someone invents a time machine they will be fine if they use it to just jump forward however far into the future, but as soon as they travel into the past they will change the events which led to them inventing the time machine and not invent it.

    Time travel into the future is theoretically possible.

    It's not just theoretically possible, it's a fact of life.
    If the GPS satellite operators didn't take into account that time is passing slower for their satellites than it is on the ground (therefore they are actually traveling slightly into our future) the GPS system wouldn't be as accurate as it is.
    Gravity and velocity affect the "speed" at which time passes, the faster you travel the slower time passes relative to a stationary observer.
    Near the speed of light 186,000 miles a second, time almost stops. :D

    Define Time.

    It would have been really cool if the time of your edit was before the time of posting.

    I'm only marginally impressed now....

    Time, or at least its perception, is marginal.

    Uranium is hard to come by for a Joe Soap like me so I can't justify investing in a flux capacitor!

    Until then I can't help you :(

    It's plutonium, not uranium!

    Just fill your Delorean with a splsh of vitamin Pu and you're all set for a trip into the future. Once there pick up a Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor and from then on you'll be able to run your time machine on everyday garbage.

    I keep my time machine working by feeding it printouts of AH threads.

    Biff Tannen must be lurking around here somewhere!

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    Politeness and other social conventions are rarely observed by time-travelling entities.

    Striking a ninja pose at a supermarket near you!

    Ya... you know who I am.

    Twits.
