Interesting thoughts on time travel.

Time traveing to the future basically means our brains are not feeling time passing, and therefore WE feel as if time is going fast. It's all about perception. But how is time traveling to the past possible? If it already has passed, how can it be now? How can you go to the past when ITS ALREADY HAPPENED? Makes no sense.Interesting thoughts on time travel.

We can test this theory by creating a black hole near a supernova....i think i saw that in a movie.

I see what you mean, traveling to the past would only be achieved by traveling to another dimension.
i don't think reverse time travel is possible. look at traveling to the past from a present perspective. going back in time would deconstruct the time machine and that's the end of that. you would simply go back in time to a point before you had started to travel, and be sitting in the machine. it couldn't go any further because the machine would take itself apart. this is assuming the machine you've created is effected by time, and if anyone could make a machine that wasn't effected by time i would be impressed. besides, if we went back in time, we wouldn't be able to help changing history, which would probably erase how the world is today, and preventing our existence.

as for traveling forward, i think you've got that one. surely, you would age in the machine and die in it from starvation in the amount of time it takes you to travel forward a week or so.

According to TC traveling to the future would be possible but not to the past. Which makes Back to The Future a horrible unrealistic movie.

An excerpt from a review of Hawking's a Brief History of Relativity :(disregarding the notion of traveling ''through'' time as if there is an objective ''timeline'')''This required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. Instead, everyone would have his own personal time. The clocks of two people would agree if they were at rest with respect to each other but not if they were moving. This has been confirmed by a number of experiments, including one in which an extremely accurate timepiece was flown around the world and then compared with one that had stayed in place. If you wanted to live longer, you could keep flying to the east so the speed of the plane added to the earth's rotation. However, the tiny fraction of a second you gained would be more than offset by eating airline meals.''

Thinking the same exact thing.
Hey mini ferrari (that's what I'm calling you TC) how's it going.



But that is a very complex question, in fact you can have debates over whether the past even exists at all. You cannot travel to something that doesn't exist, but if it did exist, than how would you get there. And if you could get there, if you changed it would the future cease to exist and would you going there at all ever happen. Time travel is so far beyond us. All it is, is many theories and assumptions based on the way we perceive our universe. Only when we fully understand the inner workings of space and time will we be able to understand the complexity of time travel.

You talk about the future ceasing to exist, yes the version that we know would but a alternative future would take its place. The future would change because of what happened or what was altered in the past, this is very complex to think about but it does make sense.
Just because.

When you travel forward in time (which is not only possible, but something that astronauts have already done), time appears to pass normally for yourself. While outsiders age more quickly, though their experience is that time is passing normally as well.
