Will it be possible? ever? I honestly think not, we would mess up a lot of things, and everyone would use it for their own selfish reason (And I wouldn't blame them, to be honest). I think that the best we can hope for is to create an image of past events, just watch, not interfere. Anyway, give me your opinions.

Thats why it isn't possible.

Back - No.
Future - Yes, but we don't need anything to do it.

No. Everything that will happen has happened. You exist, therefore you did not go into the past to kill your grandfather before you were born.

There is probably an easier answer to that, I don't know. But disregarding paradoxes for a second, what do you think?

Of course time travel is possible... all you have to do is modify a DeLorean DMC-12, then just program a date and time, and upon reaching 88 miles per hour it'll use the plutonium in a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigwatts of power required. Duh.

Without getting into a long explanation (was typing some long thing out but decided it'd probably just be a waste), yes I think its possible, but not how we think... I believe we need the time machine to exist before time travel is possible, so until the time machine exists, time travel won't occur.

Einstein's special relativity theory showed that if one would go faster than the speed of light, he would be travelling through time. So theoretically, it is possible. But practically, I do not see a human being exceeding the speed of light, let alone reach it.
Uh... well... More specifically, You cannot travel faster than the speed of light... so the only way to reach a point before light does, is to change the 'time' in the element of travel. This doesn't mean that traveling faster than light would cause you to time travel, only that you would have to time travel to go faster than light.

I think it would be posable to VIEW the past, but not interact. and certainly not travel to the future.
Though I keep my mind open and would hope I am proven wrong. I also don't want there to be consequences of such action. Granted if there are going to be any, were already experiencing them.
haven't found any 2 million year old
DeLoreans
yet.

A human being and our technology as it stands cannot comprehend reaching or exceeding the speed of light.
That being said, it doesn't mean that we will never be able to. 10000 years ago, space travel and electronics weren't even comprehendable by human minds. Someone might have thought about it, but no one knew how to do it.
My point being; while we currently cannot comprehend a way to travel faster than the speed of light, does not mean we won't eventually.

I think we should try out what they did in the book Sphere, by Crichton. They fly through a black hole and get transported. Black holes have such massive gravity, that
even light can't escape it
. So if one can't travel faster than light, try going where light can't escape from. Maybe that is the key to "time" travel. Who knows, maybe that's more of a dimention travel.
No, that's more of ripping yourself into little tiny pieces :D. Anyway disregarding the physics for a second, do you think that we should even try? I mean, people would try a lot of crazy things and some not-so-crazy-things that might lead to dramatic changes. Also, /mourn abortion thread :(.
