Is time travel possible?

Does anyone think that black holes could lead to different times?

Does anyone think that outside of our galaxy are other galaxies containing another earth at different stages in time?

No.
Quite possibly.
Possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. "Parallel evolution" made for a neat Star Trek original-series episode ("Miri"😉, but that's pretty much it.
Yes, it is prehensile.

Certainly not. You need to pass the speed of light to go to the past, not go around the earth in circles.

There is nothing that tells that it would nor that it wouldn´t.

Well.. actually there is some that think that when you enter in a black hole you could walk freely in time to the past or future, but there is not much to support that, actually they just believe in that because the dimension of space look like the dimension of time inside a black hole, so they think that maybe time will also behave like space does, you know, in space we can walk forward and "backwards", travelling backwards mean we will be allowed to go to the past, and in time you can just forward to the future.

Space inside a black hole is unidimensional and with just one direction(to the center of the black hole) like the dimension of time is, its unidimensional and has only one direction(to the future). But we just know that space inside a black hole will be unidimensional, and unidirectional there is no reason for why should time behave like space, and allow free travelling in time.

There is a theory that tells that, but it is not widely know and doesn´thave too much support, but there is nothing that make it wrong.

Mind explaining that Star Trek Episode?

First season. The Enterprise picks up a distress call, leading them to another planet. They are surprised to find that this planet is just like Earth, circa (no surprise) mid-20th century. Difference was, this "Earth" (which Spock theorized came about thru parallel evolution) had been ravaged by a planet-wide plague, something the scientists had created, searching for immortality (I think). Koik and the boys beam down, find desolation, packs of feral children, get infected themselves, yada yada yada, cure, and everyone lives happily ever after. It's one of the few episodes where the good Captain doesnt bag a starbabe (though one of the older teen girls - Miri, who the episode is named after - has a crush on him).

I take it as a bad sign when you have to explain a Star Trek episode to someone. 😱

That crack was meant for Mindship, but I guess it worked for you too. 😆

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but time travel is not only possible, but apparent in everyday life. We percieve ourselves moving through time in what we have termed as moving into the future: it takes one second to move one second ahead. If a person were to somehow find the area of their mind that percieves passage through time, wouldn't it be possible to reverse it and go backwards?

Time travel is impossible.

If time travel were possible then somone from some time in the future would be traveling back to the time we are in now, and we would know about time travel.

hey peaple if time travel was possible then how come no 1 came from the future................if its 2006 now would it be maybe 100 years later in some other dimention, then that means no human will make one that actully works u know.

There are two answers to that question. 1. time is not something we can travel through. 2. we never build a time machine.

it may be possible but we humans may never travel though time........i mean how come no 1 came from the future and if no 1 has than humans will never use it because it allways the future or past in a different dimention.........................................its hard to explain kinda

Expounding on No 2: we may never build one because--contrary to popular belief--there may be no benefit to going back in time.

People like to think (as an example): I go back, I buy stocks I know will grow tremendously in the future, I return to my time and BOOM I'm a millionaire. Or I invest in a savings account with high yield. Or yada yada yada, on and on.

Maybe time doesn't work that way--hell, we don't even know what time is, only what it accounts for or what takes place in it. Maybe we go back into a parallel history, can manipulate those stocks, but when we return we find we have only returned to our original future, not the one we manipulated.

Going back in time may be a waste of time.

As for traveling into the future (ie, nonrelativistically)...perhaps when we return, again we return to a parallel history, wherein what we lose may not be worth the gain.

And there is always the Chronological Protection Conjecture, which basically says that so much time travel has already occured that the universe has morphed into a version where time travel is, in fact, no longer possible.

Yep.

Damn sci-fi for promoting this ridiculous concept.

Time travel may royally screw-up cause and effect. Perhaps, universes which allow for it have less order, less chance of evolving life and consciousness. Time travel may violate a basic principle which helps hold our biofriendly universe together.

Time travel is just mind boggling though because of the basic concept of the time paradox. It's circular reasoning given material form.

If someone claims to have come from the future it wouldn't matter we wouldn't notice it anyways they would be sent off to a mental institute, just like the sailors who were part of the "Montauk Project" of which one was really the only one that could have been sane he was Preston B. but no one would believe them anyways, and it would maybe be in a local paper off somewhere but it would get censured by the government as they dont want us to think anything about it because it could cause public unrest.
