<< Not backward, not forward.
I find it unlikeley that we will ever have the technology to travel in time, and if we ever get the technology, I believe it will not be used, for fear of what som time pilot might do to mess with history.

Hmm .. Im not sure i agree here. Once there was a writer who told a story about a boat that traveled 20000 leagues under the sea. He also told as story about how two men traveld to the moon and back. What Jules Verne wrote in his days was commonly thought of as science fiction and completely impossible. Today we have thousands of submarines, and not only traveled to the moon, but also walked on it ... many times.

The future will take a long time to explore and what we technologically will be able to do MIGHT also include Time Travel. I think it is a possibility, regardless of our current status on the matter =)

As for "messing with history".... if you travel to 1960 and buy an icecream, then you already have done so =) ... Its a matter for the philosophers. Can one change history with time travel or not? Perhaps ... never heard any arguments that rules out either possibility

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
