Time travel, lol. The closest thing to time travel is sight, meaning everything you see. Why? Because there isn't really a visible present. Everything you see is the result of light reflecting off of an object and then your eyes interpreting what that object is, and it takes time to do this (meaning, it was in the past). But a way to travel to the future? Ok, so some people think that "traveling at light speed makes you go farther into the future," lol. Time is a measurement, and your speed does not affect how much time goes by, merely how much distance you travel in a given period of time. There is no relation between speed and time such that speed affects time. Simply, the future cannot be traveled to in a quicker way than we are meant to receive it.

I can't give you an exact explanation, but if we did travel at the speed of light, into space, and come back, Earth will not be exactly the time we actually traveled. We can affect time. Astronauts that go into space, they come back ''a little younger'' when they come back on Earth because Their perception of time is different than that on Earth. Hoops: That is wrong.

Astronauts that go into space, they come back ''a little younger'' when they come back on Earth because Their perception of time is different than that on Earth. True, but I don't think that can be considered time travel per-say. =/ Even if done a huge scale at nearly the speed of light, we still would never have a "walk into a machine and poof you're in a different epoch" kind of thing. Those astronauts, even if they went nearly the speed of light for several years, wouldn't be "in the future", they'd just be younger than they should be. In fact, they'd be even more out of the loop than a normal person because they missed a few years of activity on Earth. Time travel, in the most commonly described form, is not possible.

We can affect time. Astronauts that go into space, they come back ''a little younger'' when they come back on Earth because Their perception of time is different than that on Earth. The fallacy in your "logic," if logic at all, is that you think and claim without any proof whatsoever that perception affects reality. If at 1:00PM I travel from a given point A on Earth and leave the planet at light speed and return to the surface 1 hour later, it will be 2:00PM. I traveled for a total time of 1 hour, 1 hour's worth of time and yet you claim that the 1 hour duration of my travel is different from the 1 hour that earth experienced? Please explain this to me, is there some form of spacial collapse between the bridge of this perceived universe and my actual entity that occurs from traveling at light speed which creates this lapse in time? Obviously not... We can affect time? Your arrogance is exceeded only by your ignorance. You think that humans have the ability to affect a universal constant? When astronauts go into space and return, they don't come back younger. Say that an astronaut spends a total of two months in space, will he or she be some undetermined amount of age younger than the total gain of two months worth of age attained during the two months spent in space simply by returning to Earth? This makes absolutely no sense. The act of traveling to space does not alter a human's perception of time and even if it did, one humans mere perception does not affect the bound reality. Perception: "Speed and time are connected, do you not know who Albert Einstein is? Google this stuff." Did I ever say they were not? What I was saying is that there is no relationship between them in which speed affects the constant of time. Learn to read please.

Technically, the person who was traveling for that hour would not have aged at the same speed and even their watch would not be keeping the correct time anymore. lern2physics. The person won't actually lose years, but they'll be younger than people who were the same age as them originally. Travis: I wouldn't say that :o. It is just the truth. The only way to time travel is by traveling light years away, and you have to be traveling faster than the speed of light. People say going through a black-hole will send you into the past/future, but that is un-confirmed seeing as no one has been through a black-hole and none of our machinery can survive through one. Possibly in the distant future there will be a possibility to time travel through black holes, but as of now that is an impossibility. I was just kidding. I didn't even read what you posted. DarkWater: Technically, the person who was traveling for that hour would not have aged at the same speed and even their watch would not be keeping the correct time anymore. lern2physics. The person won't actually lose years, but they'll be younger than people who were the same age as them originally. Apparently, you don't understand anything of what speed is. The SPEED of light is a measurement of speed, not of time. Age is determined solely by time, which is a constant. Apparently you are lost in some delusion where you think that the amount of time that passes is affected by speed, which is utterly false. If aging were determined by distance traveled, then I would understand your assertion, but it is not. Travel at the speed of light alters how quickly a given distance is traveled, not how much one ages. And as to the watch comment, I see this come up from a lot of children who don't really understand how a watch works. One tick of the seconds hand represents one second having passed, not an x amount of distance passed. For a person's watch to inaccurately keep time simply because of their speed would mean that their watch is not keeping track of time; rather, it would be recording distance which is not true. Learn some physics yourself. Haha, younger. Alright, because a person who spends an x amount of time in space will be younger than a person who spends the same amount of time on earth. You definitely seem informed on the subject. Im4evercruel: Apparently, you don't understand anything of what speed is. The SPEED of light is a measurement of speed, not of time.

You definitely seem informed on the subject. As you move closer to the speed of light, space (and therefore, time) are stretched. You seem to not understand that everything is made up of 4 dimensions; three are spatial and one is time. If space stretches, time stretches. Please stop making a fool of yourself. I wouldn't dare to travel back in time, since you could mess up the future :/

Obviously not... First of all, chill lady, just chill first. Okay, what you just said is wrong. The time on Earth and and the time of your duration will be different if you're traveling at the speed of light. Maybe you should see what is ''time dilation'' thanks sweetie.

I don't know if you have noticed, but I put ''a little younger'' into quotation marks because it's an expression, they have been, say 1 week in space, but 2 weeks have passed ( exagerated, the time dilation is only by a few seconds ) on Earth. I didn't mean that they were 30 years old and they come back as 29. ROFL @Im4evercruel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation Read and then shut up. You're getting on my nerves. DarkWater: @Im4evercruel http://en.wikipediaorg/wiki/Time_dilation Read and then shut up. You're getting on my nerves. Haha If she continues to argue.. well what can we do? DarkWater: As you move closer to the speed of light, space (and therefore, time) are stretched. You seem to not understand that everything is made up of 4 dimensions; three are spatial and one is time. If space stretches, time stretches. Please stop making a fool of yourself. If space stretches, times stretches. According to this assertion, the amount time that passes is affected as you stretch space. You are an idiot for thinking, then, that this time is equal to the equated time on Earth. I was under the impression that you knew how gravitational time dilation works, but apparently not. You apparently don't realize that by comparing one second on a set gravitational field to the same one second in a gravity free field is not the same amount of time. When I say an astronaut who spends the same amount of time in space as a person who does on earth, it is implied that by "same amount" I am referring to the time spend after time dilation is accounted for. I gave you too much credit and overlooked the fact that someone so simple minded as you would easily misinterpret simple English. And stop making myself a fool in whose eyes, yours? As if your opinion of me matters, hahaha. Would someone care to explain to me why would an object go back in time when it travels faster than speed of light. What makes time slow down if you go at higher speed? Why you can't go faster than the speed of light? Why people think that a black hole is way to some other dimension than astral planes of Heaven? Why no one ever wonders if mr. Einstein might have been wrong with some of his theories? Or why no one has ever thought that Einstein himself was a time traveler, who went back in time just for lulz, making up fake theories that all physicists in the world follow for centruaries?
