time travel is impossible

When I was sixteen years old I was all excited and ran up to my beloved grandmother. She was a nice lady, well educated, read the newspapers every day, and normally kept her opinions to herself.

"Grandma", I said, "you really need to stay up late tonight and watch TV. Something very exciting is going to happen tonight. Man is going to set foot on the moon--and you can watch it on TV."

"Dear", she said, "you don't really believe that silly stuff, do you. It is impossible to fly a man to the moon."

Grandma was born in 1899, that was what she had taught in school, and she chose to continue to believe it.

As to time travel, there are already lab experiments trying to move subatomic particles through time, and this may soon be considered routine. If that can be done then binary communication will be possible through time. That is turn would allow actual messages to be sent through time.

Add a good holograph technology and you have Simmon's visitor. I am not saying it is certain that it would work but "impossible" it is not.

I am sure as long as there are suckers (i.e. the US taxpayers) willing to fund such experiments that there will be no shortage of people willing to try to achieve time travel. Doesn't matter that it is impossible in our physical realm, it will be tried never the less for something much more practical, money.

I not saying in the supernatural realm that time travel is impossible, (e.g. God can freely visit any point in time that he chooses) but it is in our realm, and it always will be.
