Never, such time travel will never happen and a time machine will be never be discovered.
There was no mistake in Eingstein theory, only the fellow scientists fabricated this kind of story using his 'special theory of relativity'.
Just read this quote, I have given to you as I read it.
"Presentism holds that neither the future nor the past exist; that the matter of the universe only exists in the present moment, that time is merely a concept of man used to describe what is going on around him. This means that there is nowhere for a time traveller to go, thus rendering the whole topic of time travel null and void. This view argues that time does not flow, but that observations of time's apparent movement are simply the relation of old memory to the present, or instant."

We all travel in time. We travel in time at the rate of 1 hour per hour.
But the question is, can we travel in time faster or slower than "1 hour per hour"? Or can we actually travel backward in time, going back, say 2 hours per hour, or 10 or 100 years per hour?
It is mind-boggling to think about time travel. What if you went back in time and prevented your father and mother from meeting? You would prevent yourself from ever having been born! But then if you hadn't been born, you could not have gone back in time to prevent them from meeting.
Hope i made some sense lol?

Time machine is a 75%blunder and 25%fact because it exists only in papers .Accordin to special theory of relativity when u travel at aspeed greater than the speed of lite that is greater thab 300000000m/s then time slows down but u can never travel at that speed if u made such a device and tried to travel at that speeed ur mass will increase and becomes infinite u cannot accelerate an infinitely large mass .Moreover there r many paradoxes .the main one ,the grand father paradox that is wat happenes if u go back to the past and kill one of ur ancesters .another problem is say i was born on 1986 how can i exist in 1976 it's impossible .u cannot construct amachine taht travels at a speed of light .only thing u can do is to use the natural time machines like black holes ,worm holes cosmoc strings etc .if u try to use them the problem i later disscussed comes the problem of mass .moreover u cannot do that u cannot ctrl black hole and all that .so it is a dram to time travel

definately will be here one day......but not like a time machine as such....when we learn more about space travel it is not inconceivable that one day we will work out how to find and use space windows......how do you think U,F,O,s can visit us when we already know that there is no life close to us therfore to travel great distances and i am talking tens of billion light years they must know how to use these gateways. obviously some out there might think i am a wakko but i am not

Thanks for your response researchscholar, the reality of it happening can be quite daunting when you consider all the consequences, the many things that could go wrong if for instance it were to get into the wrong hands, would involve intervention from a more intelligent source perhaps? What do you think?

i don't think time travel is possible as time itself is a man made concept design to help us gauge our existance
time as we know it serves as a method of marking out events in our lives
our lifetime is only measurable because we as a species have invented the concept of "life time"
the lenght of our own existance on this plane of reality
if time travel were to be possible "time mesurement" itself would first need to proven as a natural occurance,
which has not been proven to date
please correct me if it has

hi
of course time travel is possible but i dont think its possible for a person to move back and forth through time
maybe in the future we'll discover more about space and really i think space is the key to time travel as i dont think time has any physical presence and so eople will not be able to move through it at will

Thanks for responding to this discussion, there seems to be balanced view point so far, some agreeing and some not, which is a good enough reason for a debate on the subject. I think it is a good thing to consider all options and viewpoints as they are all important. Especially when there is research done to substantiate ones point of view. Good Luck and hope to hear back from you :)

This would be amazing. I would use it for purely selfish purposes to better my own life, but hey.... I admit to it.

If it was, wouldn't people have traveled back in time to come visit us and post on MyLot?

time travel could be possible but it is not closer than we think even if figure out the principle of time travel me need more time to figure out the technical glitchs and make such machines possible then furthur time may be required to make them safe for humans to travel

God in the bible. The only time travel I could think of is going to heaven.

I dont really think that time travel is possible, it seems like time would have to be continuous for it to be possible, like everyday life would be like frames of a movie, now be it im no scientist, or have any experience in the field but it just does not seem plausable for time travel to be happening ever. Also being it human nature, one "good samaritan" traveling back in time tryin to solve all the worlds problems could end up destorying the future.
just my opinion

Well i guess not...but i cant really see anyone using time travel for anything but personal gain...so i cant see i dont see the priority of it...everything happens for a reason...

If time travel were possible and it has already happened in the future, then wouldn't someone have come back to the (our) present to tell us they made it? And therefore, wouldn't it have been made sooner, wouldn't it end up that time would go round in a continual loop? I'm a huge fan of the 'Back to the Future' movies, but I don't understand how time travel can be at all possible, without causing influxes in the space time continuum, for instance, what happens if you do go back to the past and meet yourself? Do you warn yourself of impending doom? That would change the course of history. Or do you go and fetch people from all different parts of history? Just like in Bill and Teds Movie? Just think of the posibilities, someone could go and tell Franz Ferdinand not to go that way in his car, then there would probably not have been any world wars. Do you see where I'm going with this?

Thats interesting, i guess nothing is perfect and even the time continuum has glitches, perhaps caused by the sun's radiation, or whatever reason. Our planet having two poles, one positive the other negative, earth is sympathetic to the sun's polarity. If for instance there were a storm on the sun, then wouldn't all the planets be somehow effected also?
Getting back to time travel, there is also another area we haven't mentioned is space itself. Space and time seem to be inseperable, so instead of thinking of travelling in time what about bending or stretching space?

Ok if you are using a movie script as the basis of your theory, thats cool. If you will allow me to also use a hypothetical theory. Say for instance, there were an advanced race of beings from the future, from another galaxy or whatever, that had access to time travel, and what if they were to pass that technology on to humanity. Would we humans be able to utilise it without destroying ourselves? At our present state, i personally don't think we are ready, because one reason being, the majority of humanity is driven by materialism, and we are using nuclear energy to drive fear into our neighbours for the sake of maintaining peace. When we could be using it for space travel instead. In the movie "Star Trek", The Enterprise, had nuclear reactors, and could attain warp speed. It maybe a movie but surely there is some thread of possibility in using this type of technology for time travel. Or what about the monatomic properties of earths minerals. Surely we need to think outside of our present state in order allow our views to expand. There is also the moral and ethical codes we need to consider. And this is where our problems begin. And until we can prove to ourselves that we are capable of morals and ethics then we are destined to follow this path, wherever it takes us. In our minds eye we can venture into a possible future/s, and percieve outcomes, but they say the future is like a firehose on full blast with no-one holding it. We know where it comes from but we do not know which way it will go next. What is your thoughts?

Well, I do agree that governments should be using the money they get for better things than terrifying other countries into submission. I'm not 100% that I actually believe in aliens, although I don't rule that theory out completely, if there are aliens and they have already invented time travel, it could well be that we aren't advanced enough to use it yet, I do know that there is a part of our brains that never gets used, maybe we need to advance that bit first. I honestly don't think us humans are quite ready for it just yet either, I agree with you on that one, for instance, which country would have it? Could it be used as a weapon in the wrong hands? These are all things to thing about. I'm actually a little worried that somewhere, somehow time travel has been invented, but no-one's told us about it yet, hopefully that's not happened. Did you know that time travel is kind of possible? Well, my memory isn't brilliant, but I read somewhere that because of time differences all around the world, a plane can arrive somewhere about 1 minute before it's taken off. (theoretically of course).
