a) he succeeds and travels back in time in our timeline. which is foobar because we would already know about it. b)he travels back in time and the multiverse theory aplies. he splits the time line in two in which case we can basicly assume he dies because we have no way of proving hes alive. his cals are right IN THEORY. but remember theory isnt everything. we used to think we were the center of the universe. the point is unless he stayed 100% hidden this is not possible in our concievable timeline. if he succeeds and goes to the future however thats another story. but remember if he went to the past. and for some reason managed to change the timeline then of course the entire build up would not be so and we would already have the ability to travel through time. and seeing as im here typing this now. he hasnt done that. space/time is a duality. 0% space = 100%time. traveling at 80% of max possible speed (light) 20% time. 110% light speed = -10% time. |

It's pratically impossible. If you go back to the past, to change even one thing can set things off. Even if you went back in time to yesterday, you can change what your past self does, there fore changing what you do today. If you go to tommorow (future)you might find out that someone died and then you try and fix it but might get your self killed, not allowing you to go back to the past. Both will cause a paradox, because you cannot be two places at once and you cannot influence what you in the past did or what you are going to do. |

It's possible, and it probably will happen. If you disagree that is because you are a narrow-minded non-nice individual with a rotten avacado for brains. |

^^ YAY IT WORKED ^^
Time traveling DOES exist. My future self just arrived from the future and brought a portable time machine along. Because even if I'd tell me how to make it, we don't have the technology to build it. And I couldn't post it when I invented it (in the future) because at that time IAB didn't exist anymore.
So if you excuse me, I'll now use my brand-new Time Machine® to go to the past and tell myself to post my previous post, to preserve continuity. |

And I am using the term "create" very loosely. |

All I was saying is that a time machine is probably not the best term to use. It is not like someone is creating or destroying time, they are just finding ways to work around it. The fact that humans sense and understand time, which makes us the creators of it, means that we are time machines. Something that moves through or around time would be better labelled a time travel machine. |

their fundamental theory is flawed, that time is a dimension that can be bent.
Also, you can't go into the future, because there is not a single piece of proof that we are living our lives out in an infinite manner. This is what would be needed for time travel. |

honestly, the concept of time travel scares me a little. I mean if someone could control the past then they would control the future. I think what I'm trying to say is what if someone erased the past and controlled the peoples thoughts and actions with propaganda and whatnot, 1984 would come true but then again it could without time travel.. just in case some of you are wondering 1984 is a book written by George Orwell. forgive me sometimes I just talk too much haha... |

I'm 14 and I could do a better job of explaining the dimensions 2, 3, 4, and on through 10.
He did explain his technique well though, and the concept of folding through dimensions.But the best way to warp through time would be the sixth, not the fourth. The fourth dimension is simply, time. You can travel through the fourth dimension if you fold it in to a loop yes, but you'd be in the sixth dimension if you were properly folding into different periods of your life. |

Why would you want to go back in time honestly? I have a hard enough time trying to grasp what in the hell happens in the present let alone the past. |

How would he prove that his particles went back in time anyway? |
