Time Travel

What do you think? Is it possible? Will it become available soon? Post your thoughts here.

I pinned this topic because since it is the Time Travel Forum I think the question, Does Time Travel Exist, will be a very popular topic.

I think time travel exists way into the future where they just use a machine, like a teleporter.

I don't think it exists. Just my opinion though.

Time travel will be possible, but only to 3 people and for only 3 trips. After 3 trips, the time machine will be destroyed by the force of time, stranding the people in that time. Why 3 people? Because there's only room for 3, and you need one to steer, one to generate the power (sorry guys, no gas in my time machine. just an exercise bike), and one to keep the time fluids (chemical flux capacitator, not electrical) in ballence.

Time is precious and cannot be wasted, so therefore time travel must be used carefully.

OK, but I don't see what make you think that....

Just a little musing on the blueprints for Time Bike (from The Ride) . . .

Ah! I've never been on the Ride, so I thought you were trying to say that you had built a time machine, but not in the good ol' delorean form.

Wouldn't you like to know . . .

Hmm are you keeping a secret from us howard? Lol. OK back on topic.

I think time travel is not possible, and if it was we would have to destroy our means of it because it would be way too dangerous and destroy the universe.

Yes. Think of it this way:

Istead of a line, Time keeps overlapping itself. no going back, just overlapping. So there is no possible way for that overlapping to go backward, or forward, and amount of time.

No i don't think that time travel will exist. The word Paradox already proves that time travel cannot be.

Exactly. Might as well change BTTF from a sci fi to a fantasy.

Yes time travel is possible. First you have to consider if other times actually exist outside of this exact moment in time we call the present. From our limited viewpoint it appears that the past is done and the future has yet to be made. My theory is that the past must still exist somewhere otherwise we can't all be here now. Its the necessary foundation of our present and future. The future already exists because its only the future from out viewpoint. Wonder if someone whose origin is in 1955 travels to now. They just traveled to the future that supposedly doesn't exist yet.

The universe is a 4-D hypersphere just as the Earth is a 3-d sphere. A 3-d sphere consists of infinite 2-d circles and a 4-d hypersphere contains infinite 3-d spheres. I like to think that each 3-d sphere is one time increment of frozen time like a frame on a roll of movie film. The entire universe is a 5-d hypersphere that contains infinite 4-d universes that cover every scenario there is. When you travel in time you actually travel to a parallel 4-d universe that is nearly identical since the very act of you time traveling is a change to the timeline. Each change you make causes you to shift to a new universe. Time travel (4-d) is more like 5-d travel. This is the natural state of the universe that prevents paradoxes.

5-d shifting between universes would probably be easier then complete time travel in that all you have to do is change the frequency of your bodies energy waves to push yourself into another universe (your body and all matter in the universe are composed of energy waves).

We already travel into the future at the set rate for the part of this universe because are bodies energy waves are sewn onto the fabric of space-time so we move with it at its natural rate. When we increase our speed to near the speed of light we can travel to the future much quicker. If you could hit the speed of light time would seem to stand still and if you could travel faster than light then you could travel to the past. The later two aren't possible according to modern physics. So from the viewpoint of today's science only travel to the future would be possible through really fast speeds. Perhaps with some future space ship. I think a speed of light or higher would be possible with radical new technologies that would create a hyperspace (non-space/non-time) bubble around a ship allowing it to bypass the physical limitations of space-time and travel FTL. In essence ripping yourself and/or your ship off of the fabric of space/time.

Besides a ship maybe you could make an energy accelerator to change the speed of your bodies and/or ships energy waves. It would be a lot more possible to make energy travel FTL rather then a hunk of metal matter. A full service energy transporter could alter your bodies energy waves to allow complete 4-d time travel and 5-d travel to alternate universes. I think if future genetic engineering can finally allow us to use 100% of our brains and have full access to our sub-conscious minds then our race may evolve into beings that can someday travel anywhere at anytime by just willing it.

Dude, so do you think that humans can fly just by willing it if we use our brains?

Time travel is much harder than flight. Before, humans could not fly, now inventions have allowed us to use a machine to fly. Now, we know by the basic laws of flight that humans cannot fly, because of the force of gravity. Humans do not have wings. They simply cannot will themselves to do something just by thinking it.

Now time travel, if at all possible, will, like time, be made into a machine. But that does not mean we can just will ourselves to time travel, even if we used all our brain power. You cannot do something just by thinking it.

Sorry, but I don't think what you said makes sense.

I think someday thousands or perhaps millions of years from now if we can finally use 100% of our minds and have full sub-conscious control that it might be possible to fly or time travel. We would have 100% control of our bodies down to the smallest level. The energy wave level which is sewn onto the fabric of space-time. Manipulating our own energy waves would enable anyone to move in 3, 4 and even 5 dimensions. A machine would probably be invented first before people could do it on their own. Do you think we are going to keep living lives with basically the same old biological bodies relying on machines to do everything for all eternity? There is no reason why we can't evolve to a higher form someday such as the Q on Star Trek. Otherwise then your saying someday we must say we've gone as far as we can so lets give up.
