    Is it possible to time travel? Well to be as honest as I can, no. Argue if you disagree, but is it not true that if time travel was true, then wouldn't some one else have time traveled already? For example if you could go back in time to stop Hitler would you? Fact is, that if you could you would, but you cant or Hitler would have already have been stopped because the future you would have already stopped him and you may not even exist, becasue it could stop the only one from dieing that allowed some one to love someone, and having kids. so then therefor you wouldn't exist, if you totally agree tell me please.

    It IS possible

    It is possible. You said that someone would stop Hitler, but maybe that person has not yet come to the world, so they can't get back there yet, becasue they are not here.

    Sir no offence, but look if I am correct there should be a future, and in that future is the one, but thats not possible, because Hitler would have been stopped. If he existed.

    But the problem with that is how you would go about stopping Hitler. Time travel would not affect location, therefore, you could only travel in 1 year interval and appear in the exact same location you were before, according to the orbiting of the earth around the sun. It would be impossible to recall that from any kind of file in existence from that time, and even if it was, there would be MASSIVE repercussions to affecting some event as massive as the rule of Hitler. Besides, he was stopped anyway, so what's the point?

    But If you were to create a time machine to stop Hitler and all of history's evils, then when you did, you would have no reason to create the time machine, thereby creating a paradox and doing god knows what to the universe.

    I understand what you mean about someone already stopping him, but I don't know how to explain that maybe since the future hasn't happened yet, it means that nobody went back to stop villians like Hitler.

    Anyway, I don't believe time travel is possible. I don't think it ever will be.

    DR speaks the truth about the paradox thing :3



    Hmm.. Im pretty sure that I read in a book that an astronaut went around the earth enough times and travelled a ridiculously small amount of time into the future.. like 0.0000001 seconds or something :3
    Hmm... I'll have to go check that out xD

    I someone did go back in time and stop Hitler it could lead two two things in my opinion:
    1. It could cause an alternate dimension or paradox
    2. it could not change anything because when the time traveler stops Hitler it would basically make a loop setting up the future as where it ha already happened and thats how it was caused but we just didn't know it.

    or something like that, i'm better at explaining with talking XD

    I get what your saying DR, but what Im saying is A time machine would take you to the past or the future. So if it did happen why is it that the future didnt stop hitler... For one because it will never happen.

    You can't just appear right next to Hitler in a time machine and even if you could you'd be jumped by his bodyguard (who was extremly good at his job). Anway you can't tell if a time traveler has already been to the past as it would of just kept our dimensions order.

    It's hard to tell. Technology is getting more and more advanced everyday, the laws of physics and science never change. It is really hard to say yes or no to this. But if was possible, I don't think it would have anything to do with the rotation of the earth, that is just because of gravity. But if it was possible, it should be destroyed. Man shouldn't have that kind of power to ruin the entire space time continuum, like DR said, a paradox. That wouldn't do anything universal, but it would affect the earth way too much.

    (redeyesblackdragon, this is just as much spam as what I did, so don't say I'm a spammer, no one knows if time travel is possible, so your theory is just like mine, just a guess)

    no your not a spamer, what I didnt understand in DR's responce in his post I thought he thought that he knew it was so possible, he didnt even think about it, but i reread it several times and now understand it.

    Well, when you referred to me as "spam in can" in my thread, it was immature, you were also arguing something that had no substance, so in a way, you were the "spam in a can" No love lost here, but don't question my theories please, handle it like I did with your idea.

    (Sorry for the off-topic post, but I just had to make a point)

    I just went back in time to give you the idea for this thread, which I am now commenting on. Greetings from the future.

    I also went back in time to give myself the time machine I invented to save time and effort.

    In what way? Time travel always results in a paradox. For example I just came back from the future where I've already seen your comment and was only waiting for you to make it in order to respond with this exact post.

    The only way time travel could work without 'sploding the universe is if every time you "jump," you create an alternate universe where you can make changes that were supposed to happen to that universe.

    Some good info on time travel.

    Anyway, other than the model above, time travel would create paradoxes, which, by definition, are impossible to exist.

    It is possible, but highly unlikely. You can time travel through a worm hole (not a black hole) but you won't survive on the other side. The subatomic particles in your system can't handle the constant friction of going so fast through time and space. Trust me, this has been proven by scientists across the nation.

    i would say no, it's impossible and even if time was changed then we probably wouldn't even know it was changed.
