Depends on how one looks at it, we (the SG community) either proved or disproved the possibilities of time traveling earlier in the other thread I posted. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't think anyone would share their theories, but quite a few people did. And though I haven't quite read them all yet, they're all really well thought out and seem equally as likely. I personally believe traveling through time (or dimensions, however you want to phrase it) is possible. I mean, come on: my microwave has a "Stop Time" button. It even has the ability to cook foods that would normally take 30-40 minutes in a fraction of the time! I can't travel back in time, but that's why a few wonderful people created Back to the Future!

Since nobody entered my first giveaway for Back to the Future: The Game, a new giveaway has been made. This giveaway, also for Back to the Future, will end in approximately 88 hours from now (or three days an about 2 hours). Have fun :D

It is, but nobody would reveal their time traveling powers just for a copy of Back to the Future...

I understand if it was at least Skyrim or Bad Rats...

Man, I dunno what you're talking about... If I was capable of time travel, I'd reveal my power just to get a taco. If Back to the Future were at stake, I'd even tell everyone how time travel worked q:

Well, yeah... nothing is better than Bad Rats ;_:

When it reaches 88 hours are we going to see some serious shit? Like a portal to a glorious future where all games are Bad Rats

With your ability to predict the future, you could win bets on who will win football games. You'll be a trillionaire! ;)

Maybe that's what you will do in the future, but everyone of them just got pissed because of it.

You're right. I'll go back and do it again, this time without the butt-touching.

Or it was the butt-touching they liked and now are feeling left out. Hmm, hard to know where to stop with time travelling.

I am a time traveller. I travel through time at the rate of 1 second per second.

I've made the assumption that it's impossible to travel backwards, but the rate at which you can travel forwards can be greatly varied with respect to other parts of the universe.

Going to repost my old views again in this post in an attempt to create discussion!

Interesting topic, a few of my own opinions with a few additional "theories" added.

Do I believe time travel is possible? No.
Will it ever be possible? No.

Why do I think this? Simply put, where are they? If time travel exists, why is there no credited provable account of it ever happening. We have around 2,500+ years of recorded history and possible millions of future years to come, in that entire time not one person has been able to travel to any point in the past. In my opinion this leads to one conclusion, time travel never gets invented in the entire history of the human race.

However, a few theories have been posited that can refute my belief, I'd be remiss to not mention them. One being that time travel is only possible to and from the point in which it gets invented. So for example, if time travel gets invented tomorrow, forever people will be able to travel freely from that point onwards however never before. So if it does get invented tomorrow, no one will ever be able to visit "today" as the means of a point to travel to never existed.

Then there is the ever present "Grandfather Paradox", time travel can not exist due to the paradoxical nature of effecting points in time. If you travelled back in time and killed your grandfather, he could never have your father, who would never have you, meaning you could never go back in time to kill your grandfather. Arguments against this state that no matter what you did, time would prevent you from killing him. Say you went back to kill him, you held a gun to his head and pulled the trigger, the gun would jam. Say you poisoned him, he would accidentally be sick and throw up the poison and so on.

Additional to that is the alternate dimension/string theory hypothesis. Where time travel does exist but every time you "leap" as it where to another time frame you cross into an alternate dimension. So say you went back in time and killed your Grandfather, you would kill your Grandfather, meaning your father never got born, meaning that THIS dimensions version of you was never born, however your version of you from an alternate timeline would still exist as your Grandfather was never killed by a visiting time traveller.

The tenth level of String Theory is an infinite number or infinite possibilities in an infinite number of worlds in an infinite number of universes. So if you are a subscriber to string theory I suppose in some ways time travel HAS to exist in some way shape or form, just like there is a universe called Rand McNally where people where shoes on their head and Hamburgers eat people.

TL;DR: I'm a nerd and made an obscure Simpsons reference during a discussion about time travel.

+1 for bringing up the Grandfather Paradox. I'm surprised no one mentioned that yet! I like how you came up with multiple theories, and each one just as possible as the next.

I'd like to add-on by bringing up the casual loop theory. In this theory, an event is triggered by a time traveler making it happen. Let's just say one's own birth, for example: a man travels back in time, and ends up meeting a lady. The two end up falling in love, and the man impregnates her. The man realizes that the woman was his grandmother, and he is the father of his own father, making him his own grandfather. In the main timeline, the man would've never existed... not until he travels back in time to birth his parent.

It's okay, I'm a nerd too for making a direct Futurama reference in a discussion about Simpsons on a thread about time travel q:

That episode is great!

I'm a bit tired to delve back into this discussion but I certainly find it a fascinating subject with lots to read and touch upon.

Sweet, I'm always excited to meet fellow Futurama fans! One of my favorite animated shows q:

If you're tired, maybe you should rest... or at least relax, and play some games, or watch some movies or TV. Usually always helps me out o:

Of course time traveling is possible. Time travelers simply must obey certain 'non-interference' laws. We...uh, I mean THEY aren't allowed to make significant alterations to the timeline. That's why people rarely ever notice us-I mean, them.

Time is relative to ones location on earth in relation to the sun and rotational direction...

You can get in a jet airplane and travel to yesterday in another time zone so in affect arrive a day earlier than you left.

People do it all the time...
