i'm torn...i would love to see how technology has impacted living hundred of years from now....but then again i would love to go back and buy as much microsoff stock as possible or profit from knowing how events turn out so i could live very well...i'd like to do both please

it is not that confusing. About three year ago on PBS there was a program that talked about time travel and one of the scientist stated that even if we could travel back in time we coul donly travel up to the point when the time machine was invented.\nBut do not forget there are manyh theories about time travel. For instance the grandfather paradox claims that you could not travel back in time, but others say you can but in a different dimension.

You cannot go into the past beyond your own birth and the future for the same reason. In both cases non-existence cannot be overcome. You may live to 100 but you have not yet so....you cannot visit yourself, there is nothing to visit. When you get to 100 you can visit yourself at 20 and so see yourself at 100 and see the future that way.\n\nTime travel  will always be limited to a persons life time i am afraid and the events that occured during it. No hunting dinosaurs, Hitler killing, Cruxifiction visiting.\n\nThis is the reason no one from the future has visited us yet. Once the future becomes the present and they invent time travel they can but only if the people who invent it and use it are alive now.\n\nGet it.\n\nIt a paradox I know but.....

According to Einstein, it's only possible to travel time to the future, although he never said that going back in time is impossible.\nTime slows down for you and your vechicle as you travel close to the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).  Anything outside is at normal time and speed obviously.\n\nTheoretically, if you travel 30 mins out into space at the speed of light and travel back to earth, you're only an hour old (by the way, at that speed, you've traveled an equivalent of six of our solor systems).  However, as you return to earth get ready to meet your great great grandson.\n***\nI don't know why.\nIf I did I'd own this freaking corporation.  *L*

Yes, but you can only go to the future, not the past

I wouldn't go back in time....I could mess things up!\n\n=)

try going back in time

I choose a time period in the future... by at least 1000 years.  So... perhaps 3506.  Why?  Just to see how it all shakes out.  1000 to 1500 years might be enough time for humans to actually overcome human nature and truly advance.

Possibly although Stephen Hawking once said that if time travel existed, we would see plenty of tourists from the future already and we would have historic accounts of them. There are plenty of theories of how it could work but no definitive solution has been developed.

This is a global world, many products we consume are coming from other places. If we limit our consumption to what produced locally, we go back to the old era. I prefer look forward to the future, not go back to the past.

If you are going to time travel (as stated in your question), I would do it on Friday night, with a clear head.\n\nTravelling in time with a hangover could have disastrous consequences.  If you programmed the time circuits wrong, you could end up in the ice age.

Time travel occurs everyday with everyone.  Just sitting in front of the computer now I am advancing into the future at a rate of one second per second.  What the clock on the jet experiences is time dilation.  This simply means that for the clock on the Jet, time slowed down.  In this sense it is possible to travel into the future.  This would be done by travelling at extremely high speed.  This would essentially "fast forward" you into the future, but is a one way ticket as there is no way back.\n\nTime travel as a sci-fi concept (e.g Dr Who or Back to the Future) is not possible (as currently thought), as this would mean travelling into the past as well as the future.  There are some theories that could allow time travel into both the future and the past  However, in these theories, you could not travel futher back in time than the instant the time machine was built - the reasons for which are complicated and stop paradoxes from occuring!

I don't know if I would choose to go back in time. \nTwo Main Reasons why:\n- I think if I went back in time and saw all the inventions we were lacking that I knew today's luxuries give us (internet, toilets, electric stoves, etc), I think I'd be depressed\n- Being a young woman, even going back 60 years, would probably not be a norm for a woman to go to college and the idea of her supporting herself and not being thrown into a marriage for society's sake\n\nBut, I think if it was only for a few days, the time I would most likely like to go back to is probably the New Testament time and see at least one scene that Jesus was in or that he experienced. Or really - any place in any part of the Bible I think would be awesome to experience from an audience perspective

The concept of a time machine could exist, but it would take an almost infinite amount of energy.  The only way it could work is exactly the way you are asking,  You can only move forward in time, just at different rates.  So if you want to see the future then time would need to slow down for you and the world would have to speed up.  After a while you could return to earth and it would be the future.  \nFrom what is presently known about physics you can only move forward in time only at different rates from an observers point of view.  Believe me if we could travel back in time someone would have already screwed it up something big by now.\n\nThis is a one way trip, good luck

yes you can. it takes you back in time...or you get to see the future..this is how time machines work.

I have done time travel. Evertime I come back to California from Japan. I leave around 16:00 in Japan and get home around 09:00 . Sounds like time travel to me.
