I time travel all the time, but only in one direction.

How Time Travel Backwards is theoretically possible...

quote:

From the time turner in Harry Potter to Back To The Future to Groundhog Day, traveling back in time provides us with the possibility of righting wrongs in our own past. To most people, it’s an idea that’s relegated to the realm of fiction, as every law of physics indicates that motion forward through time is an absolute necessity. Philosophically, there’s also a famous paradox that seems to indicate the absurdity of such a possibility: if traveling backwards through time were possible, you’d be able to go back and kill your grandfather before your parents were ever conceived, rendering your own existence impossible. For a long time, there seemed to be no way to go back. But thanks to some very interesting properties of space and time in Einstein’s General Relativity, traveling back in time may be possible after all.

I hope it’s not possible. Some tourists would really mess things up.


A Sound of Thunder was a terrible movie (that was released with unfinished special effects no less) but it's probably exactly what would happen if there were time tourists. (minus the time waves, all changes would be instant)

And yes, as others have said, time travel into the future is possible.


Or find something with super gravity and make a few rotations

If you have mass, time travel isn't just a possibility; it's a requirement.

The girders in my crawl space have mass.

I don’t see any way it’s possible. It just doesn’t make sense. How would biological forms still physically exist in past time?

I would think if you could do it, there would be nothing there to see.

If you don't think time travel backwards is possible, you haven't been to Saudi Arabia. You would instantly be transported back to the 13th century.

Time travel is cool but I'd really like to become invisible.

Go down the rabbit hole of trump time traveling

It’s interesting to say the least.

Time travel is possible. Every second of every day I’m traveling to the future.
