Was expecting a serious topic of debate regarding whether the prospect of time travel is plausible, hence even attainable within our generation.

But no.

In our Generation, i don't think it is possible, however the ability to do it in time... That's another thing completely. Maybe it could be attainable in a 100 years or so time, but not in our life time, if i'm proved wrong later down the years, well fuck me sideways. laugh.gif

I got one ohmy.gif

At 11:00 at night, go to the border of the timezone between 11:00 PM and 12:00 midnight. Step over the border so that your local time is 12:00 midnight, then step back to 11:00.

You will officially be able to say you've been to tomorrow biggrin.gif

.. I would say "you've been to the future" but as it's only like an hour difference it sounds less impressive. Tomorrow implies a full day.

BUT ANYWAYYYY

I agree with Bob. Not to be pessimistic or anything but to achieve the practical idea of time travel you need not only something to distort the measurement of time itself in a contained area but something humans are capable of working with and vice-versa. Technology like that isn't going to be around for a very long time. Not to mention things like the Grandfather paradox of which I am not eager to see how it plays out when tested.

But if it were possible and publicly available, I would go back in time to 2003 and stop myself from getting my first RuneScape account hacked at level 27. That would save me a lot of problems.

Time travel is not possible. If it was someone would've come back in time and showed us how to do it by now. So yea.

wow never thought of it like that.

However, if we haven't discovered it now, how can he/she go forward to discover it and come back to show us, when he can't go forward in the first place?

k im confused

It depends. If time is linear and only exists in a single reality, sure. But if not, then when someone went back in time they'd have created a parallel reality existing beside the reality we currently experience. For an example, say someone went from the arbitrary year 2100 to 2000.

user posted image

When he went back to 2000, the timeline would split into two parallel timelines - the history of the first timeline remains unchanged - aka, the time traveler never arrives in his own past. The parallel timeline shares a history with the base timeline right up to the arrival of the time traveler, then it exists separately. This disallows the time traveler from being able to influence his own past since it took place in the base timeline which he is not experiencing.*

The idea isn't that a new reality is created when the time traveler goes back in time, but that there are an infinite number of possible realities, and time travel allows us to travel to different timelines than our own. At least, that's one theory.

I was just pointing out that we're all time travelers in our own timeline, for the lulz.

*This would mean he can't stop himself from making the initial leap through time, but he could possibly stop his alter-self from making a leap through time from the secondary reality to a third reality, or the alter-self could stop his alter-alter-self from leaping from the third reality to a fourth reality, etc.

Some of the points I was to raise. If it was possible then yes surely somebody would have came back in time to show us the ways; unless of course you can only forward actions; however that is remotely improbable.

The theory that there are an infinite number of parallel universes is widely believed by physicists.

Well maybe it is not possible but if I could travel back in time I would go back to a certain day I remember and say NO WAY IN HELL instead of yes. That is all. . .

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.

You travel in time when you fly across the countries, you gotta move your watch hash.png

I'm sure we'll manage it eventually. We already see austronauts come back with less ageing than people on earth experienced while they were gone, that's a form of time dialation.
