Is time travel possible? In my recently released song; STUCK IN BETWEEN I think it's safe to say that I for one believe. Can anyone prove that time travel is not possible? Will check for your comment / reply.

There is no evidence that it is possible to travel backwards in time, but there is no lack of theories which suggest this. One example is Kurt Gödel's "rotating universe" in which there would be pockets of spacetime where the arrow of time is pointing backwards.

However, time travel into the future is possible. We travel steadily at one second per second.

Well, there's the cute answer and the serious answer.

Cute answer: "YES!" Just sit down in this chair and stare at the clock. See the second hand going around? You're traveling into the future!!

Serious answer: "no." Has anybody proved this? Don't have to, because nobody has proved that it CAN happen. Nobody has come up with a PRACTICAL way of doing it. Yes, mathematicians have come up with equations that show it is theoretically possible, but only if you can manipulate black holes, convert trillions of tons of matter into pure energy in mere nanoseconds, create spinning bars of pure neutronium several light years in length and on and on. If you can't do these things, then the Laws of Physics give no hope at all of time travel.

You are suggesting time is linear then Pyrotex.
Its not in the distant planets from the Universe I come from....

Time??
What is this Earthly concept of time??

I would like to direct everyone's attention to my Username if they care to get a relatively accurate understanding of my view on the topic.

Silence, Racxor45-Alpha^<&*&>. These primitive carbon lifeforms are not ready for that kind of knowledge, even if you are glixbling it in the form of a joke. And only YOU would call those specks of gartfloynex, "planets". Hah! They are but flakes of shexfllingning next to the toroidal fnortner that *I* come from!

Ok.., Mr. Center of Attention

InfiniteNow?
Relates to time-travel how?

[InfiniteNow]

Racoon,

Let me ask you first... How does the concept of Now relate to time travel for you?

Now is here Now
and 10 years ago, was "Now" to me then as well.

10 years from this moment, will be "Now" then too...

Time is always Now.
Next time someone asks me what time it is, I'll say "Now"

[InfiniteNow]

That's my answer too.
