Doubt very much that it's possible going to the past. If it is, I hope that we will never find out how. Imagine the consequences.

In basics, there's a theory, part of Albert Einsteins work: If you take two twins and send one of the on a journey at the speed of light, by the time he returns, the twin on the earth will be much older than the one from the spaceship.Originally Posted by ff7+ff10 gurl 100
My brain hurts
Read it. It's the non-science fiction area of time travel.
EDIT: I think the topic was covered by the films like Planet of Apes(the old one) and some series of Star Trek. Most of those however, have been modified for the plot of the film.
EDIT2: I’m not a physicist; so don’t ask me on detail. Only studied it at a primary course.

What the person above me mentioned is called the twin paradox. ok, lets see... if you want to travle to a place 5.5 light years away at the speed of light then no time will pass for you, even though 5.5 years will pass to an observer on earth, same with the trip back.
So say there are two twins. one twin gose on the journy at the speed of light, according to the calculation, no time will pass for him on the 11 light year trip. but by the time he gets back, even though it had been a couple secondes to him, 11 years has passed on earth, his twin therefore, is much older.
this is all in what Grinenshire said, only in more detail, I was bored and felt like typing something.
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
That, too.
Don't try and tell the TARDIS what it can't do.
I'm pretty sure time travel is impossible. Well, going to the past is anyway. Look at it this way (if its possible, its very hard to wrap your head around): If you went back in time to stop your worst enemie's parents from meeting so that they didn't give birth to him/her, then the person wouldn't have been alive in the first place, so you have no reason to go back in time and thus you didn't.......hard to understand? Yep, it is for me too, but once you get it, it is pretty obvious.
As for the future, I think it is posible. Not by years but by seconds. If you go fast enough, like perhaps faster than the speed of light, then maybe you could skip time by a couple of seconds, or perhaps even less. But going into the future like, 3 years or something wouldn't be possible.
Anyway, thats my view on time travel anyhow. It makes sense to me
No, it is imposable to travle at the speed of light so we dont have to worry about that. though we can get to speeds near the speed of light in therie only. but I ask you a far more importat question! What happens if your travaling at the speed of light and turn on your headlights?If someone goes in the speed of light wouldnt they die?
Just a question, Im not stupid or anything
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
Oh I would go back and get all those girls I missed out on the opportunity back in the day
That is the most logical thing I have heard yet in this thread.Oh I would go back and get all those girls I missed out on the opportunity back in the day

I don't think it really matters.
What matters, is that time is a CUBE.
Me and my friend have already decided that it is not possible to actually go back in time. We have done our research and come up with a way to slow things done for us so that we age at roughly half the rate the rest of the world will. Of course we have a problem with getting into space and being able to go very very fast(I'm talking vroom here) is going to be kinda tough. But like it was stated earlier, you can come back from space after what would have been aonly a couple of years for you, and everyone else would probably be dead, depending on how old you are that is. Good luck to anyone who tries doing this, it might be kinda hard, but only a little.
It feels good to be alive.
I've been dead for so long.
Well, the best thing I can suggest you unless you did or are studying physics, is to get a couple of books on Elementary Physics(high school level), couple of books on Advanced Physics after you're finished with the ones before and then finally read the Theory of Relativity. Only after you've read about 10 books on those topics and spend... say, 4 years on it, will you be able to actually understand what Special Relativity is about. That's what you are looking for.
There was a comic I used to read with a charachter who was called the good Samaritan

You wouldn't see the light, for it couldn't leave the headlights as it couldn't catch up. Now a more important question, If the headlights are curved inward and are at eye level, would you blind yourself if you were traveling faster than the speed of light since you are going faster than the light?
