Forward in time, yes. Accelerate near the speed of light, go near a strong gravitational center, etc. and your internal clock will travel slower than a stationary one or one away from that center. Backwards? I'm not sure if there is anything in the theory of relativity to prevent it, but i'd say no. Especially considering causality. The cause must always precede the effect. But there are just so many things that could go wrong (paradox's) that i'd say there is something the universe put in place to prevent it.
Yes of course. You time travel into the future everyday but you do it in such small increments that you cannot tell between the future and the present.
Anytime someone moves that are traveling into the future.
However, in order to notice a big difference betwee the present and the future is for you to travel at speeds approaching the speed of light. If today you got into a spaceship and traveled near the speed of light for lets say a month, when you returned to earth you would be ten years into the future. This is Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It means Time is Relative. Ok to put it simply this means, when you travel really really really fast time will slow down for you. I said slow down 'for you'. It won't slow down for the people on earth. It slows down for you in the spaceship. When you land back on earth, where time did not slow down, people would be 10 years older.
This is facinating, and probably unbelieveable. That's ok. It took scientist over 40 years to believe Einstein. After many experients with using atomic clocks and sending them into space at high speeds, the finally concluded that yes, time travel into the future can be accomplished.
Time travel into the past can be accomplished if you're near a black hole. But if you're near a black hole you'll be crushed. So basically we can't travel into the past.
No, time is not spatial dimension, cannot travel at time or lines of longitude. Cannot travel near speed of light, time pass slower, mass is reciprocal of time, ergo increase geometrically and become infinite at velocity of light.
No, time travel is not presently possible. For more info on the possibilities, catch up on Michio Kaku's theories regarding the possibilities, once we've cracked the secrets of all the sub-atomic particles that exist..
Don't know the science, but we know for definite that we can travel forward in time (although we're talking 1/50th of a second here). Back in time could be possible, but humanity has no idea how it would work at the moment.
It's a fact that if something gets close to the speed of light, time would slow down for it.If you could get to the speed of light,the rest of the world would be going faster, so when you stopped it would be the future for you.However their is no way to travel back in time
on a quantum level all the time. On a practical level we can go forward in time if we travel close to the speed of light or travel to an object of great density e.g a black hole. not realistic and all theory however

Yes, you've been doing it all your life. You've been travelling to the future at the rate of sixty seconds per minute.
Yes. We all do it, at the rate of 60 seconds a minute, 60 minutes an hour.
