I think time travel is possible, but not by the human physical pesence.we are limited by our physical body which is finite matter.Our consiousness would be able to travel with the right training which I suppose is the ghost theory. So called ufos and lilgreen men could be time travellers from a future so distant we have adapted to an existence in semi light conditions with very little physical effort.I have more to say

I think we will never be allowed to time travel because it would mess up every thing. Look at science what it does. We do things because we can rather then what we should do.The world is in shambles because we don't think of the consiquences.
Welcome Nigel. The only consequences would be objective, that is to say the timetraveler would be the only person to know there were changes around him/her. If the quantum theories are true, then it wouldn't matter anyway- he/she would just be creating divergent realities for himself/herself.

If time is truly non-linear, then one should be able to step
forward through time and see the happenings before linear time
actually occurs.
I very much believe in time travel and am trying to think about what time is. Once that is answered, then maybe we will be able to travel forward and backwards in time.
Some people ask why haven't people come up and say 'hey i'm from
the future'? Why would they be so stupid and get mugged by us
20th century people. Most people have no concept of the damage
they could cause if they did travel back in time. If I saved a man from dying 50 years ago, I may never have been born (creating a temporal paradox) or I may have never have met my wife.
I understand that it's not a good idea to travel further than your birth year. If I were to, it would only be to observe (unless it were at a disaster such as the Hindenberg or the Titanic). I would love to be able to travel in time just to see the past versions of myself without interaction.
Hey Clint! Your first line is a VERY GOOD POINT! I still think that the future may be inaccesible. Many possible futures may be there and VERY REAL, but I think there may be something with the Heiseberg Uncertainty Principle (in a purely temporal situation) that hasn't been discovered yet on the level of quantum observations.
There may very well be timetravelers among us right now. They would have to remain secret, I would think.
I don't understand what your birthdate has to do with it. Is that something to do with "Quantum Leap"?

Wow! that was awsome! i have always been interested in the possibility of time travel but your explanation made me really put some thought to it!!! i enjoyed your insight greatly!! thanks!!
Hi Natasha! Thanks very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm working on some more speculations right now & I'll let everyone know when I get it posted to the WWW. I hope you were able to check out the LINKS section.

I feal that someone has visited us from the future,the only reason we dont know about it is because:one,my theory is that we are natives to this time and the people in the past are natives to that time.So if someone from the future were to interact with us it would cause a time distortion turning that
person into a native to this time and he would not exist in the time he came from.Or two,they have came but just havent interacted with us.

It seems to me, that timetravel will be possible earlier or later.
After all, who could imagine 200 or 300 years ago the possibility
of space flights or TV? And now they are common things.So, why not?
Greetings Arseny! I think you are absolutely right. I read somewhere once that in the late 1800s, the Queen of England declared that civilization was advanced as it would get and that everything that could be invented ALREADY was!
HA!HA!

Dear Chuck
I read an article on time travel called, “Free Lunch” it was about time travel this is what it said, “Imagine that you traveled back in time to visit the composer Ludwig van Beethoven and took with you a CD of his Fifth Symphony. Beethoven listens to it and writes the music down, then later his score is used to record your CD. Where does the music come from?”
Well, I thought that several things could happen in the event of time travel:
1. Only living creatures may travel through time.
2. If an object did travel through time, those in the past might not see that object [person].
3. If those in the past could see the object they could not hear it; like a CD player the sound might not carry to there ears or might sound foreign.
4. I also believe that in time travel it is equal mass placement.
5. The people that go into time would not be able to touch anything the slightest change in time could do one of to things. One, Calliopes time or when the travelers tried to come back they could end up in a different demintion.
If my theories are correct, it would mean time travel through wormholes, rotating cylinders, and cosmic strings would not be possible; unless you could bring them into Earth’s atmosphere.
I have one more idea, of how the world could end, Kurt Goedel. If you puncture a hole in time you could calliopes time it’s self, that could also calliopes Earth. To time travel you must completely leave time, then reenter at the time you please.
Albert Einstein once said, When you approach the speed of light time slows down. Well I thought what happens when you go beyond the speed of light? I thought that time stops for all but the ones going the speed and by stopping time, they would leave time its self.
Sincerely, Angel
Hi there, Angel. I've also heard of the "Free Lunch" theory- probably a different example, but the same reasoning. It's really a very interesting hypothesis. Consider an expanded example:
Our ancestors- our real predeccesors haven't even been born yet. Maybe they're born 500 years from now after the perfection of timetravel and they expedite to the deep past- say, 100 million years ago, as homesteading pioneers; maybe they, independently, reach some level of success technologically; maybe something wipes them out, leaving no trace; OR MAYBE NOT. You get the idea.
Your mention of the collapse of matter reminds me of that movie, "Timecop".
If I understand you correctly, I'm afraid I must disagree with your concern about, at least, the rotating cylinders. Frank Tipler's theories (at this point) seem pretty sound to me.
Thanks for your post, Angel.
Chuck
