Who knows whether it is possible or not, but in the end, humans will find some wacked up way to do it. |
I can beat you all hands down! If we invented time travel how come someone from future hasnt visited us now or in the past ? |

Actually tricky they may have, how many times have we heard of nails and other items being found in beds of coal millions of years olds. Glider models in Eyptian tombs, and a battery in anicent Sumer. Would a time travel announce his present? Would we believe him if he did? The Mechanics of time travel may not allow him to interact directly with poeple of the past. Or he may be composed of antimatter, since physicist believe antimatter is just normal matter traveling backward in time. The reason why they have not visit us could be manyfold... |

On a similiar note it would be interesting if we could peer into the future! |

If the future is undefined then looking into the future would mean next to nothing the more long term you go!

Where is the fun in that... you should at least strive a little in your life... On the other hand your an instant billionaire, I shall shut-up now!

I was actually thinking along the lines of better technology, and what kind of society and structures that go along with it. Of course one has to proceed carefully while doing this because they do not know what kind of implications using future technology will have presently so one must do extensive studies I suppose. |

So create an alternate universe and commit your experiments there!

actually we can experiment with time travel here and now, if anyone ever heard of the Wheeler's delay choice experiment then you would under stand. Wheeler was able to come up with an experiment that allow the present to alter the path that a photon can travel in the past. check out : http://www.bottomlayer.com/bottom/basic_delayed_choice.htmand http://www.bottomlayer.com/bottom/kim-scully/kim-scully-web.htmAnd this esperiment has been conducted in the lab. So if we can access the past from the present then the future may also be possible... |

I have a question. Say we had the ability to move an object faster than the speed of light and we used this ability to send a really super powerful telescope one hundred light years away from our planet. If we had that telescope zero in on our planet, would we be able to see a hundred years into the past?

yes if the telescope is powerful enought. |

Yup; but getting the telescope there in the first place is the tricky part. |

But why does the speed of light define the barrier of time?

Because that's just the way it works it out. All equations dealing with velocity, mass, time, energy, etc., all end up with the same figure " c"; which is the Speed of Light. It's the basis for everything. |
