Do you think time travel will ever be possible?

I'm not sure. I'd like to think it will be, though.

I would like to think that someday time travel will be possible, but it will be a while before we can sort out all the scientific and technical stuff.

I'd like to think that someone will invent a time machine someday. I believe in the possibility of time travel...maybe if technology keeps improving, then one day...

Has anyone, in a burst of inspiration, ever attempted to build a time machine?

I once tried to, using a calculator (for typing in the year I wanted to go to) and some other stuff. But it didn't work.

I very much doubt it. There would just be too many complications would be my theory.

Hard to say. On one hand it seems impossible, but on the other hand, you don't know if advances will be made to do it.

If it did though I would go back and bring my DVDR and tape GI episodes off of CBS from there original airing-lol

Hmmmm.... speaking of - Just daydreaming about the possibility brings forth some devious thoughts. If I knew certain things that I know now, I would focus on those few things and change a couple of those things. http://server5.dedicateduk.com/~ace/thb/smilies/15.gif http://server5.dedicateduk.com/~ace/thb/smilies/65.gif

Hey, no fair! But don't underestimate 3 or 4 year olds. :D

I could always jump in the time machine just as you are getting in. ;)

Anyway, I know her address and you don't. :p

Marty McFly went back to 1955 as well. :) Did you bump into Marty and the 1955 Doc Brown and Marty's parents George and Lorraine and the bully Biff Tannen?

Also, did you get back to the future via a bolt of lightning?

I guess I would have to bring you along because I don't know where anything is in CA. I get to go in first though since it was my idea. ;)

I've always - always - love the concept of time travel.

But recently, I got to wondering about the subject, and after thinking it about it quite a bit...I don't think it's possible. In fact, I've begun to wonder if time itself actually exists, or if it's just an artificial construct designed to help us deal with and understand change and progression

I think it's possible. Not while we're in our physical bodies here on earth, though.
I think we'd have to be in a different state. Whether that state be spiritual or astral or whatever. If you ever read books that have to do with quantim physics Stephen Hawking has written some great books that talk about time travel. Some stuff about particles that can go into black holes and actually can come out of white holes and can travel back to an earlier time than when it entered the black hole, which is now being realized may not be completely black.

For those of you that have said no, is it because you don't believe in the concept of time travel itself, or because you don't think we'll ever reach a stage where we the technology to achieve it, or to work out how to do it.

I should be able to go first since I'm older. :p

But, true, you will need help in finding her. Or you could just go to the CBS studio and wait for her to show up.

Good point, I could pick her up from there in my car.

Whose car was that, anyway? I guess it belongs to whoever built it which would probably be Gilligan.

Yeah, Mary Ann would really be impressed with that car! :lol: Notice that she never did ride in it.

I'm optimistic with the black holes and such, but I don't think within the existence of mankind on Earth, that anybody will come close to building a time machine, much less figuring out how to physically move a human being through time.

It was Wrongway Feldman's he didn't need it anymore on the island he landed at.

Maybe your right, Mary Ann would like this car more

Both. No matter how far technology advances, I just don't see how we would ever be able to go back in time and see events that happened 40 or 50 years ago. I guess I could see someone inventing something that would go fast enough to go into the future but I don't see that happening for several hundred years.

Einstein said you would only be able to go forward in time right? Something about going the speed of light slows time, so while it may only take a few seconds to get there, time may have progressed hundreds of years. (kinda like flight of the navigator) If anything I can see that happening, but as for a vehicle that goes back and forth, as much as I would love to go back in time, I can't see it happening.


Besides if there was time travel, why hasn't anyone visited here yet?

It would be great if we could,but I beleive we have other deminsions that other beings can time travel through port holes through space also. A lot of you don't beleave in UFO'S and time travlers,or out of body experence ,but I think we are not ready for it yet, someday we will, I just really don't know how it will work, for example, I could be in the year 30009,or I can come back and see my self typing this.

it's totally possible. like someone said about, if you can get someone in a ship to travel faster than the speed of light, time on earth will progress much faster than time on the ship. so travel forward in time is possible but I don't think it's possible to go back in time, or else someone would have already done it and be here now. However, creating a ship that will allow someone to go faster than the spped of light without ripping apart their bodily organs and fluids is another thing. that might take a while to create, but the concept is totally possible.
