Time Travel may be 'possible', but not in the way people think.

Everything in the Universe is moving. It has and always will be moving in one direction or another.

If you travel in 'time', backwards or forwards, from where you are now, at this second, you would arrive at a very, very cold place with no air to breathe.

Even ONE SECOND will have you thousands of miles from your present location in space..........................

I blame human caused global warming.

Only because of warming oceans and rising sea levels. As reported by the “Cli-Fi Channel”.

I’ve been hearing that the speed of light is not a constant since the mid 90s.

I have heard this before: that some “constants” are not actually constants (like the speed of light), but we made assumptions that they are.

The speed of light is relative to gravity.

Voyager red shifted.

Forget the “time travel” angle, that is just hyperbole to sell tabloids.

If this woman is right, what she seems to be document is light speed decay, something that was long speculated about until scientists decided the evidence for it must all be artifacts of measurement error. However, if it can be shown to be actually happening, then it throws all sorts of “settled science” into disarray, for example, calculations about the age of the universe, the size of the universe, and basing measurements of the distance to other stars on red shift.

I think the "speed of time" is also changing.

It has already been proven that time moves more slowly near large gravity wells or when moving extremely fast.

It also also been show recently that the universe is expanding more rapidly than previously thought. Since the speed of the universe is changing, it follows tha the speed of time changes along with it.

Time travel into the future is very possible, even (relatively) simple, you just accelerate yourself close to light speed or go park yourself next to some extremely high mass object like a neutron star or black hole and wait, for every hour that passes for you, a decade will pass back home. We already know this works and can even be demonstrated on a small scale between people in space and on earth, though the difference is only milliseconds.

Unfortunately, time travel into the past is (probably) impossible as all the means that could be theorized to do it (wormholes and the like) would also destroy whatever was sent back in time in the process and even the theory's themselves are pretty sketchy.

Such stories appear from time to time. And they (so far) always follow this pattern:

1. A scientist uses data to claim that the speed of light is not constant.
2. Other scientists examine the data, and find a flaw. Einstein was right. The speed of light really is constant.

Now, having said that, it’s good that scientists are still debating and challenging Einstein’s work. Because science is never settled.

(Hey, Climate Change believers, did you catch that last sentence?)

Everything in the Universe is moving. Nothing is at rest. Everything is in motion, and everything is changing. Humans’ perception of this motion is commonly called “time.”

Time is a subjective perception of the movement of objects. Time is the measurement of this motion. There is no objective reality called time existing outside of human perception. Consequently, there is no way to “travel” in time.

Red Badger points out something very important when discussing “time travel”: if it were possible to travel in time, (it isn’t), you would likely arrive in a place between the planets, with no air to breathe because the planets, the Sun, the solar system and the galaxy are all in motion. In addition, you and a few million hydrogen atoms would attempt to occupy the same place, and you would be the source of a nuclear blast seen throughout the Universe.

Humans are part of the cause-effect chain, and cannot step out of it in any way, at any time, in any manner. That’s a first principle, which doesn’t have to be proved, and which therefore would be rejected by all scientists.

A FORMER NASA scientist has claimed time travel is possible because the “speed of light is changing”.

Well now I have proof for my theory that Libs are stuck in the 1960's. They wanted to travel to 2019, but since the speed of light slowed, well they missed by just a little bit...……..

Yawn... Been saying the opposite thing for almost 300-years...

I'm almost certain time has been speeding up for me... (The years from my 80th birthday until my 85th birthday seem to have lasted for only few minutes...)

Seems that in order to make any accurate “speed of light” or distance calculation, one would need a baseline from outside space and time itself.
