Does Time Travel exist?

@ Azelf Master: To me, that sounds like adolescence setting in.
@Steadfast: We have achieved it, haven't we? I always said so.
On my post, I meant that the Universe is always there. The events at Hastings, for example, are happening now but in a different time of course.
So the Umiverse is both beginning and ending right now in the far future, and I'm currently dead.

Yes i saw that video, but i read that what expert have to say about it is that probably she had a listening device and she was holding it in her hand( or an explanation like that), you could technically travel in time in space because time is relative i also remember that you could try it by going through a Worm Hole(but there is no way to be sure where at what time or if you could go alive at all), time travel would be a problem if the purpose is to change an event what would create a paradox there is also an explanation that if you do that the event wil happen but in a paralel universo, which is suposedly created each time a decision is taken(this part is completely hipotetical).
@Azelf Master: My point wasn't that it feels different. Sure, it feels like time goes by fast. Especially when you're hanging out with friends or something. When you do something boring, it feels it's slower. My argument was that time isn't a state of the mind. Time is a dimension, and it's the same for everyone. The feel of it may be different, but my point was in the end a 24 hour day is still 24 hours, no matter how it feels.
@Chiraami: "That is a very good point. But surely time exists across everything, and the future is already laid out, and we play into it?
(I am supporting the fact is will never be possible.) "
Sorry it just sounded in that last part that you said you were supporting it isn't possible, but then you went ahead and said it is. Well with your other post, I would like to say time isn't moving in both directions. It only moves forward. Not just that, but you aren't currently dead. In the future you will be, eventually. We don't know yet, when, or how. We just know over time you will, but that doesn't mean the whole future is laid out. We're in the present, so the future is constantly being made and turning into the present while the present is constantly turning into the past. The future is in a sense, happening now. It's not laid out years and years into the future where everyone has a destiny. At least I think not.
@Freak
: Well time travels in one direction. Forward. You were talking about going backwards, which I have said and others said multiple times is not possible or known on how to do right now. We don't have an answer. However we have traveled into the future, if you have read any of my posts. (I've made quite a few.) I'm not trying to sounds harsh, I just don't see why so many people are coming in saying it's not possible because we can't travel in the past. Time travel doesn't mean we can travel in both directions. We have traveled into the future, so it's possible since we already have. As I have said in nearly any posts, we don't know enough about traveling backwards so nobody can really and truly answer that question at this point.

Exactly what I meant... I'm not exactly clear though.
@Rikko145. If time travel would be possible then people from the future would be here right now? What makes you think that it is a must for people from the future to visit us if it were possible? What if the human race becomes extincted before we discover it? And why are you assuming that alternative universes do not exist?
There is only one Universe. It is everything that is existing. There may very well be other solar systems, but not universes. And how exacly do we discover something once we're extinct? We're standing at the pearly gates and then, "Say, I've got this awesome idea for time travel!" A little moot at that point, isn't it?
@Rikko145. How are you so sure? Ever heard of a multiverse? A collection of universes just like a solar system is a collection of planets? But I wasn't talking about another universe at all, I was talking about a alternative, a parallel, universe. One that is basically the same as this one, but just with other events, in that sense a lot alternatives would exist. There are some good theories worth looking at so we won't rule that possibility out yet.
We don't. Both you and I know that. But again, that isn't what I said. I never assumed either that we would become extinct right before the moment of discovery, well, if we become extinct and if time travel is possible then we still wouldn't be able to know how long it would take to discover it anyway, but that's another story. Let's say the whole human race becomes extinct tomorrow, also let's assume time travel is possible, then we become extinct before we could even discover it right? Is logic that hard?
Still you haven't answered my first question; What makes you think that it is a must for people from the future to visit us if it were possible?
@Shadowarceus. Sure, never said you could change the past. For example, if I were to travel back 10 years ago I would dissappear out of your life and everybody elses, I would be gone. However I am now back in 2000 again, will be able to meet myself and even choose not to register or prevent my other me from registering on PokeBeach. You, in my timeline, probably will sign up again. I could even choose to murder you in my timeline, I can do whatever I want. This all would have no effect on you, since I'm in a different timeline. Therefor I'm not changing the past, not yours. I simply went back in time to live forth from there and give it a different twist. And again since it is a different timeline you won't notice anything of it exept my absense and I would not change any past.
We don't. Both you and I know that. But again, that isn't what I said.

@Rikko145: It's certainly not case closed. First of all, as of now there is no time travel to go BACKWARDS. That could explain why people wouldn't visit from the future. Also, do you know how much mass a person has? To travel through time, we need to accelerate that to the speed of light. Maybe look into the mathematics dealing with time travel. In case you haven't seen a single one of my posts, or bothered to read one, you would see time travel is possible. First of all I would like to say one thing. We have done it before. So case closed right? Time travel was proven possible. We have made small things such as protons go through time. Do you know their atomic mass? Compared to a human mass, the numbers are too big for me to put right here. Accelerating a proton can be difficult, how do you expect humans to? Sure, humans might not be able to travel through time. Does that mean it doesn't exist? No, of course not. The closer a mass accelerates to the speed of light, the slower time goes. Time is relevant to motion. Therefore when accelerating at such speeds, you are going through time slower than anybody else is. 1 year traveling at the speed of light is equivalent to 223 years on earth, Thus, you traveled into the future.
We have also conducted experiments with a clock. We had a stationary clock and one going at high speeds. They were set to the exact time, and were both atomic. After the experiment, what people saw was that the clock traveling faster was actually off. It was off by little- billionths of a second. But that's only because it wasn't going anywhere near the speed of light. If it were traveling near the speed of light, then it would be off by even minutes.
If you are still looking for further proof, then I can give some websites. Here's some proving it does exist:

There's 3, which should be enough. We've done it before, just not with heavy masses like humans. But it might be possible one day at the rate technology is growing.

This topic is a bit off topic but still relevant at the same time. My question is if time is real or relative? I would assume relative since time travel is possible and would be different for objects traveling at/near the speed of light. If we perceive time, time exists because of us. Without us there would be no time, but this cannot possibly be correct since there were no "things" to perceive the second after the big bang and time still progressed. So is time real or relative?
But does anyone think it would be possible to stay in the same place and move through time at the same time? Me? No. The vast speed at which you'd have to be travelling at would possibly leave you lightyears from your destination - with little hope of getting back.
Why would someone even want to travel to the future? They have no idea what it could hold (ie; Doomsday, Aliens, Apes, Communism, no USA/Democratic Country). The future could be full of pollution, danger, or other stuff of that degree. Not only that, how would you get back to your original time? Seeing as there is no real answer to how to travel back in time, we can only assume you can't go back. So you would be stuck. Going to the future is actually a really dumb idea, now that you think of it. What is the real point of it? No friends in the future, no family, no hope. I guess if you had no friends and thought everything was stupid you would travel to the future.
Did I just ruin your hope of traveling to the future? I wouldn't do it :|
@omahanime: I get what your saying, but wouldn't that create some sort of Paradox? Like, if you were to go to 2096 and discover they have the Cure to Cancer, then go back to 2010, and release the cure to the public, that leaves a very important question; Who created the cure? Like I said before; traveling back in time is unknown, so I can't see that happening.
