Okay, so all we need to do is find a wormhole (even pluto way too far away to be reached by a human, so now think about the distance to a hypothetical phenomenon even rarer than stars) or make a wormhole (work out how to bend and alter the very fabric of reality in a controlled way).

suprise123, if I could hypothetically travel back in time, theory says that I wouldn't be able to alter the past as the past had already been determined by what I did when I was there, even if I did it before I was born. Perhaps someone needs to rephrase that in a way that makes more sense

And Dragonlord, though the evidence is strong enough for most strictly speaking black holes aren't observable themselves, but their effects have been observed. Seeing as they're just big empty patches from which no light leaves, it's impossible to ever see one, but we can see that light does seem to curve presumably due to some really really heavy object. But we can't prove that this is a singularity (i.e. black hole

I personally think that we should NOT time travel, because it could mess up our whole world, and people who made differences could not have even been born...

Seemed rather dumbed down... I say that because I understood it and I suck in everything even loosely connected to numbers...

"Science is observable, repeatable, measurable. There has never been any of these phenomenon observed [wormholes, black holes, stargates antimatter, and magic wands], let alone measured or repeated. So until someone actuall sees one, I continue to believe in the principles of Science."

Black holes (or at least objects that are exceedingly similar to the result that a theoretical singularity would produce) are observable, and have been for decades. Antimatter is also a well-known phenomena that has been measured both in labs and in the accretion discs of aforementioned black holes.

Wormholes are still hypothetical in that they are math based, and that the very few experiments done to give evidence to their existence, though those experiments have checked out.

Stargates are from a rather dull sci-fi series, and nobody claims that they are science. You're building a straw-man argument, and a poor one at that.

Lionhart, you clearly have no concept of what science can

Time travel is impossible, since it would lead to algorithms to easily solve NP-hard problems.

ZOMG 37!?! GTFO.
So what?

The Phoenix probe that landed on Mars in May 08 had been travelling for almost 300 days, and had travelled over 400 million miles (400 million miles. 400 million. 400. 4.), and it was landed practically bang on target. That would be like me throwing a dart from here (Scotland) and pinning a fly to the wall in your house (Australia).

Voyager 1, the furthest man-made object from us, is now over 10 billion miles away from the Sun.

Why the hell would we ever need to send people out of orbit, when we can get probes to do it for us?

And black holes ARE observable. You look at the interactions of the objects around it. You don't need a Polaroid of an electron to know that it's there.


Again, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

NowPleaseRea, yea dumbmonkeyass drat.

he said go in the past not the future. im pretty sure time travel doesnt have to go one way buddy. open your mind to ANOTHER LEVEL non-nice individual.

I would like to personally volunteer for the first time-traveling mission to see the Dinosaurs, and if that's full then I shall settle for the Prehistoric Mammals.
All right, where do I sign up? Lets do this thing!

How can matter time travel if it can't be in two places at once? We are matter. We go through time and the atoms in my body in 2009 are by year 3000 scattered all over the place. I go to 3000 step out and then what happens? The atom that was in my fingernail today is on a beach in Bermuda in the year 3000. This eliminates possibility of time travel.

Why couldn't you have thought of the aeroplane 400 years earlier?!

"
ha, keep dreaming. what a waste of time and money"

Who are you to say what is possible and what isn't? Did you create the universe? Do you know what created the universe? You do realize humans know extremely little, if anything at all.. right? Every single human, in all reality, are complete idiots. It's comments like that that make me depressed.. People think they have everything figured out, when they have no idea, and will never have a clue.

Dude, if I got to the most interstellar parts of the cosmos (or whatever he actually said), I wouldnt be planting FLAGS, I'd be calling the taxi firm to see if they came that far out =]

Wtfelo
what would you consider waste of time and money. how about the atomic bomb only 2 were ever dropped but the us and ussr had tens of thousands of them at the height of the cold wad it costed trillions of dollars and it was made to just kill people not anything else.....

Lionhart2,
we dont need to leave earths orbit we have machines that go for us we dont send humans for a number of reasons
living conditions
food
water
radiation,ect

"ooohhh. so fold the paper in HALF, and it all makes sense... poppycosh."

Well imagine a creature living in two dimensions, on the paper. When you fold the paper a gateway from one side of the paper to the other is created, making the distance short instead of long. The general idea is that a dimension can be folded from the dimension above. So basically our third dimension could be folded from the fourth, much like the second dimension is folded in the third with the paper example.

oh and, if they do space travel, when they come back.. will they be considerably older or will the people back on earth be considerably older? or will it not affect? this time thing is confusing

Lionhart: you should read Physics of the impossible.
