Verified answer

Judge for yourself based on this: Time is a MAN MADE construction. That is, it is not a natural element in life. For those of you who would argue, please answer how it can be set back and set forward (daylight's saving time). If it were natural you wouldn't be able to limit it to the watches you wear or the clocks on the wall. It would be beyond any human control and it would be very hard for anyone to grasp the concept and explain it. As it is, we CAN explain it and grasp it, therefore, it is not natural.

So my answer is no.

Yes, I do think it's possible (if not with current technology, then at some time in the future). I just don't think it would quite work like it does in "7 Days"...

The idea of 'going back to change history', while an interesting idea, would break a line of causality. If an event occurs, and you are sent back in time to stop that event from happening, then what was your reason to go back in time? An example of the logic involved is the "grandfather paradox" - you go back in time to kill your grandfather before he had children, therefore your mother/father and you were never born and you could never have gone back in time to kill your grandfather.

Certainly there are holes in the logic of the paradox. What if you, in fact, killed the wrong man? What if your 'grandfather' was not the biological father to your parent? Or your father/mother wasn't your biological parent? These loops, while avoiding the paradox, also mean that history was never changed. Events unfolded as they were 'meant to be', and the 'history' is preserved - all that has changed is your knowledge of 'events'.

(Here's where it gets really interesting. In a conflict that has both sides moving through time to 'set up' or foil the opposition, it is possible history as we know it is a series of (chronologically) staged events. The implantation of a specific genetic deficiency in the ancestors of a rival (or even a rival culture) centuries, even millenia, in the past which can be triggered in the 'present'. The removal of "Lost Civilisations" in the past, relocated to other continents or other (inhabitable) worlds and then bred and trained as fighting forces. I would imagine with the right resources and enough 'time' that some elaborate and far-reaching schemes could be created and the result is a trip in your time machine away.)

If you subscribe to the idea that a change in 'history' would create an alternate timeline, then how would you know? Any changes, no matter how large, would have already occurred in your perception of 'what is true' or blinked you out of existance. If only a finite number of changes could occur at any point in history, then eventually they would have already been made - no further changes could occur, and how would you notice anyways?

I like the idea of 'Time Travel' and the discussions it encourages. You just have to alter the way you see things to get around some of the ideas...

Well first of all time travel is not possible. If I could travel back in time, there are some things that I would do differently. I would volunteer to travel back in time, but I would not want to be the first. I have to see it done to someone else first.

haven't seen the show.

If you get in a plane and fly backward around the world, you could land at the same place yesterday I think, you can subtract an hour, why not a day?

If I could see how I could catch somebody I still want, I would try it. Otherwise, no.

Time travel is NOT possible in this time period but someday, I believe that it will be... in thousands of years, of course.

I'd love to be the first.

The mathematics of Quantum physics allows for it. However, whether actual beings can go back in time is another matter.

You may create a temporal paradox and collapse the fabric of space and time, also you cannot occupy the same space and time, so if you bumped into yourself, BANG another paradox!

YES...... like if you're from US and i am from Asia..... we are 1 day ahead of you..... then you travel to the US from Asia.... you will time travel for a day.....

I THINK TIME TRAVEL IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME BUT SOMEDAY IN THE FUTURE I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED

Absolutely !
