Time Travel Possible?

[mookie]

Ahhh........here we go, another blind poster. If you read this thread in its entirety you will see time travel is already possible. Sat nav won't work without it..........it may not be your idea of TT but it proves the fact it can and will be possible.

...not really....as the article states:
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and this is an extraordinary claim.?

...and to the point...

"'Antonio Ereditato, the spokesman for the researchers, said, "We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing.'"

...it has not been formally checked by an external source 'yet'...until that time,just because THEY have found nothing...that doesn't mean to say that it is ANYTHING.

As the chap in the earlier paragraph says..."possible in theory"

...it is purely a personal opinion whether this is possible in general...or not...and to answer the thread which was originally posted..."Time travel Possible?"...my answer and opinion is...no!

Yours Sincerely,

your missing the point.
there has to be a continuing difference in time between two clocks, originally set to exactly to the same time
one in orbit (generalising here)) one on the ground for GPS to work at all.
this experimentally proves that things can travel in time, in relation to the terrestrial viewer.
and that's time travel anyway you slice it.
it also experimentally proves mass slows time down.

GPS does not in theory work , it in fact works
but it wouldn't if the theory/s it was based on were incorrect.

...this intrigues me...I do get 'the point' for sure.

...it is a topic debated many-fold.
This is purely banter,as I don't reckon any of us are scientists,nor experts in this field...they can tell use whatever they like...and to be honest,who would question them from outside of their peer-group...no-one,that's who.
The work scientists do in various subjects is of extreme importance to mankind for sure...only problem with this particular study,and others like them,for me,is this...
-what do they aim to achieve,and at what monetary cost?
With so much to be done for a greater good in this world...I don't personally think this will aid shit...apologies for being blunt,but tell me I'm far wrong...?
...in a way I'm just stating that it is ultimately a pointless argument,be it for or against...the theory,practicality,even physicality of the notion that is time travel...and surely saying time travel is impossible is a really safe bet. If it should turn out in the future that time travel in a physical sense is a go,then I can always go back in time and change my statement...!

Traveling forward in time-yes, mainly due to the effects of time dilation. Hell, there are cosmonauts that are nearly a second younger than they were prior to their spaceflights! This is on a very small scale, but given proper speeds (even speeds currently attainable given our level of technology) a significant difference in time (relative to the observer) can be achieved.

Traveling backwards in time-undetermined.

no time travel is not possible,
it is just a wave form like sound - we can break the sound barrier but do we travel back in sound - no - we just can not perceive the sound correctly - same applies to visual spectrum also - just a waveform that we can maybe distort slightly, or if we could go faster than light, that is all we are doing - we are not travelling in time, just travelling faster than the light spectrum - if you travel from one point to another and travel faster than the light getting from a to b - all you will see when you stop at b is what is the light spcectrum actually happening in TIME at point b, not what light has travelled from point a to point b when it catches up to point b as point b has its own light spectrum already existing in the current TIME. Time and light are not the same thing.

with a little understanding of the physics involved, you'd realise how little sense what you posted makes.
you cant treat light, mass, time and speed as if they are different. they are all part of the same thing.
