(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So do you think time travel is possible? I'd like to know you're theories why or why not, not just a simple yes or no answer. Let's get a debate going, not a questionnaire...

Damn you Patrick Stewart.... Damn you!

I already know how. So.......YES! I would say it's possible:p

this is very hard for me to vote on because i think in there future more likly when im dead and time away we could figure out something that has summit to do with time and make some sort of machine to time travel my opinion though but still not to sure myself its 50-50 i think

i think it is possible it would be sweet if they invent it though

Let's say they did invent it, where would you go first?

time travel is possible. i can go on a jet and it will be 4pm when i leave and go west and it will be 2pm :p

going into the future or past is pretty much impossible tho. maybe if u freeze your heart but your body will still be stable in current time.

i think Time travel is NOT possible. if it were possible, someone in the future would've traveled to our time and told us, showed us, etc..



i've heard this theory a lot, i still don't understand though. could you explain?

oh then probably not possible

I'll do my best, but it's a bit complicated.

Einstein postulated that Maxwell's Equations were constant regardless of velocity, mass, etc. For this to be true, the speed of light also has to be constant. This may seem to defy common logic, but think of it like this:

If you are driving at 20 mph and a car passes you going 30 mph, what speed do you see them moving forward at? Well, you see them pass you going 10 mph. Now pretend you are traveling at 20 mph and a beam of light passes you. What speed do you see it pass at? You see it pass at the speed of light. You may think that it would be c (light speed) minus your speed, but it is the same regardless of your speed.

For c to be constant, time, mass, and length must be relative. Einstein figured out that if you begin to move, your mass, length and time all increase by 1/(1-v^2/c^2). If you plug in v values close to c, you find that time slows down substantially to allow c to be constant.

It might seem far-fetched, but it is experimentally proven. Time-dilation is accounted for in GPS systems. If the satellites ran the same way clocks on Earth do, the measurements would be off by several kilometers .


EDIT: Found a good video that will explain it better than I did:
