A Conversation for Time Travel - the Possibilities and Consequences
Who isn't a time traveler?

Hate to simplify things but, everyone on this planet is a time traveler. If we weren't constanly traveling through time we'd all be statues. Pretty boring life we'd live, Huh? The trick to changing the speed or direction lies within your own mind. Stop for a second, close your eyes and think of that time when you jumped off a 100 foot high cliff and splashed down into clear blue water. You've just travelled back in time. Wasn't that fun?

i agree that everybody time-travels;we have been time-traveling ever since we found away to get from point A to pointB faster or more direct than our ancesters;e.g.first beat the feet,then came horses,then motorvehicles,aeroplanes,ships,etc,etc,etc,-if you don't believe me try traveling from london to new york by any means that wasn't invented in last 200yrs;then travel by airliner backagain & tell me if there's any time difference;if you get back faster than you got there;then you have time_travelled

just a bit of a thought that just popped in my head, how do we know we havnt actually traveled from the future? we can remember the future and only the past, correct? so even if we came from the future, how could we remember it?

Well I understood all except the previous post. It did explain the basics of relativity in the entry but on a much larger scale. What you are talking about is a very minute difference that could never be utilised with such a small difference.

The past that we can only remember might relate to, as you(the centre of the universe, i'm sure you know who you are) take it to mean, the history of the universe. However it could mean our own personal histories. If it is the latter then you should be able to remember it as it would have already happened to you. Also if travel into the past is possible(not saying we would ever do it, only if it was possible) then the future would have already happened, making it the past to someone else.

By "time travel" most people mean "voluntary, controllable time travel". And memories aren't time travel. If you think of a time when you broke your arm, your arm doesn't break again; and since memory is far from accurate, suffice to say it's a thought preserved in your brain. After all, your computer doesn't travel backward in time when you open a document.

It's been said before, but bears repeating: By using relativity, one could trivially design a time machine that travels to the future. Traveling into the past is the only hard part.
(Not to mention that "trivially design" and "trivially build" are far from synonymous.)

Yeah we are all time travels in our minds, how fun the idea.... Sappy, insulting, and off topic.
