do you think that time travel to the future would some day be possible? i don't think it would. if you think about it, the things that we do in the present affect outcomes in the future. and sense there are endless possibilities of things that can be done in the present, there could be millions of different futures. basically, its like trying to read ahead to the pages of an unfinished book to where nothing is written.
also, if time travel were possible period, wouldn't someone from the future come back in time to the present day and tell us? or maybe they're hiding in secret... knowing that if they reveal themselves to be visitors from the future that it will ultimately alter the future.
confused? well, just state your opinion of whether or not you think time travel will someday be possible. i think that only with something as complex as quantum computers will be closer to achieving the phenomenon of time travel.
I always wondered about this. It may be possible. But even if it was. I think the government or some-people like that wouldn't let us time travel. Because we may do something in the past, that may critically effect the present.

Yes, if we find out a way to be faster than the speed of light. Yet at the moment, nothing, I repeat, nothing, in the observable universe has been found to be faster than light. Even quasars, just about the closest things to the speed of light, are not that fast, and quasars are bigger than our whole Solar System. Think about how much energy they produce and give off(They shine as brightly as galaxies) and still not as fast as the light from our Sun. I bet if all the resources in the Solar System were put together we wouldn't even manage 25% the speed of light.
But even if it was. I think the government or some-people like that wouldn't let us time travel. Because we may do something in the past, that may critically effect the present.
It would also cause a paradox: Imagine if you went back in time and killed your grandfather (Just a suggestion). But technically, if you killed him, you wouldn't have existed, and thus wouldn't be able to have killed him. So it turns into a loop that keeps eating itself.
So basically that means that it may not be possible to become faster than the speed of light.
If we could travel through time, and we did create a paradoxical event, then the timeline would "split" into two (or more) paths. One of which would probably collapse inward on itself due to the paradox, and another that went on, unaffected.
We would call these so-called "split worlds" Alternate Realities, or Alternate Timelines.
Not to be confused with Parallel Universes, because time is 4-dimensional, and the "splits" don't neccesarily have to be next to one another.
Time travel is very much possible if we find some way to go faster than the speed of light, but if we were able to time travel we could mess up our future which cold turn out bad or good.
I dont see why it wouldnt work somehow. I mean space-time are connected so why couldnt we travel thru the time part and not the space part. although i have no fucking idea how any of it works anyway so i dont know.
If a paradox is a time loop, then it couldn't do anything. Say I go to September 22, 1991. A day before I was born. Even if I killed myself I would still be born as I have to kill myself 17 years later. Interesting concept I've actually had for a very long time now.
