    If travelling back in time was possible in some future date then we'd be seeing all these time travellers from the future in our own time. QED.

    I give you nogard for your examination? Quite possibly it has travelled back in time from an era where babies are fed hallucinogenic milk?

    nogard travelled back 12 Monkeys style. Side effects include insanity.
    I've made a huge mistake.

    I just quoted you as I agree "time travel" to the future can be done. But traveling to the past is very unlikely.

    How do you know you are not seeing time travellers from the future? I presume they look like us...

    And we will be debating Novikov's self-consistency principle, you might wanna read up on it
    .... and thanks for all the fish.

    Was this guy in the clip explaining it

    You dont have to travel faster than the speed of light, traveling near light speed will send you to the future relative to everyone else on earth. FTL travel is impossible as far as we understand.

    Tell that to the Tachyon particle.

    As I understand faster than light travel: Say you watching a TV episode, now the broadcast travels at the speed of light so if you in a craft that travels faster than that speed you will "pick up" signals that has already been broadcasted making the program you watching appear to run in reverse. Its not like you can travel faster than the speed of light and still park on the same spot, besides same spot time travel would cause a whole nightmare of its own as the earth/galaxy and universe all move so if you jump back even 10 minutes you will land in empty space.

    Worm holes and dimensional travel on the other hand is another means of travel but then the question begs if you truely traveling backwards or just stepping from one moving platform onto another and not changing the one your on direction.

    The tachyon particle is a completely hypothetical particle and there isn't a shred of evidence for its existence, ftl travel disobeys our laws of physics.

    quantum physics disobeys the laws of physics, hence the search for a unified theory

    FTL will be discovered in South Africa, I'm convinced. Possibly in a taxi. Nowhere else are so many laws disregarded so quickly, why should physics be any different?

    Where did they park the 2212 Chevy?
