“It may simply not be possible to travel through time,”

We all travel through time.

However, it's a one-way street.

[teeman8r]

time travel is only possible to the future.

the Past is the Past and passed, no going back, but the Future is present to all.

“A new study explains that time travel itself eventually leads to a reality without it.”

OK, now I need a nap. 😏

However it is possible for Time to stand still.

Just look inside any government office.....................

[ShadowAce]

Or my desk when I’m at work

[Red Badger]

Here’s how that works:

If you travel back in time, regardless of how far, you have changed ‘something’ that will cause the ‘present’ that you left to be different from when you left it, so that the mere presence of your machine and yourself will negate the existence of it, and possibly you, in the past’s future..............

Yet, the study was performed by Andrew Jackson, indicating that time travel IS possible.... ;-/

[Verginius Rufus]

I saw a cartoon once with Germans guarding Adolf Hitler constantly having to kill time travelers who were trying to kill Hitler.

Since no time traveler never showed up to kill Hitler, or to stop Booth from assassinating Lincoln, it's safe to say it will never be possible.

The State Song of West Virginia....................

Is time travel truly possible?

I was just discussing this with someone next week.

[V_TWIN]

I’m pretty sure Rod Serling did a The Twilight Zone episode on a very similar theory.

[Tell It Right]

There is another theory.

[SunkenCiv]

In the, late 70s? early 80s? a Kalamazoo-based band called "Home" used to gig in Grand Rapids a lot, and put out (I think) one recording that WLAV used to play, "Time Traveler". It used to be a download on the West Michigan Hysterical Society website, then a remake by one of the former bandmates was available, now there's bupkis. Too bad, too, I really wanted to post the link.

[I want the USA back]

What we call time is the mind’s rendering of the unending sequence of cause and effect, before and after.

That is not something that you can travel through.

The sequence is beyond our control. It is not possible to jump out of it.

Only God is not bound by the limits of material reality, and is not part of the sequence of cause and effect.

So no, there is no possibility of time travel.

[BigFreakinToad]

The past is read only

“The Vulcan Science Directorate has officially stated that time travel is impossible”

[Mr. Lucky]

Well said.

[John Milner]

But Stephen King had a guy going back to 1958 and just hanging around until 11/22/63 to prevent JFK from being assassinated.

Time really tried hard to keep him from changing history.

(The one and only King book I’ve ever read. I’m a sucker for time travel novels/movies.)
