time travel

Hey to all,
I'm fascinated with time travelling but on Google i wasn't brought too far. I was wondering which theories exist on time travelling and what factors are tied to help explain the topic.
ciao!

RE: time travel

A thereory that really grabbed my attention is that if you travel into the past, you can't change the future. This is because you were already there to cause the event to make this present. For example, if I went back to 1913 and killed an important leader, the future wouldn't change because when 1913 was the present time, I appeared and killed him.

RE: time travel

Why can we remember the past but not the future?

Our existence in time does not seem to be bidirectional.

RE: time travel

There is also the "theory" that if you go back into time and touch your earlier self, you turn into some grotesque blob. I forget which Schwartzenger movie that "theory" is based on.

RE: time travel

One good resource is Nova, the PBS program

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/time/through.html

The info is quite good and at the bottom they provide links to even more details.

time travel

wazzuuup-and no one else- i have a theory on time travel. basically it says that time travel with the mind is not only possible, but has been done. in fact, you may not know it, but you probably time travel every single day. i will post it here. i do hope you enjoy it.

EDIT: Deleted by the moderator because of duplicate posting.

Ah yes, the good old '60's. I did mind travel all the time back then! The bigger the doobie, the farther the journey!
