Comments on: Is a time machine possible?

It's a big, big maybe, but a professor in Israel is working on time machine theories.

Time Travel?

"Today, if we were to create a time machine, an area with a warp like this in space that would enable time lines to close on themselves, it might enable future generations to return to visit our time."

If this were possible, wouldn't it have happened already? I mean wouldn't someone have already returned "to visit our time"?

Of course not!
Everyone is dead in the future, due to global warming :P

Against the rules...

Come on.. you've all seen Back To The Future... coming into contact with anyone in the past could cause catostrophic events like going on a date with your mother and stuff.. so they probably keep it on the down-low.

time machine is possible like any other machine, time is the fourth dimension which we have to explore, according to me that like blackholes there aremany warmholes in time dimension, which we must find out,its amystry today because its not actually coinciding with physics rules today,but physics rules are also changing as we explore newer technoloy trytry and try again until u suceed its human nature and ithink with anew technology we can explore time

Time is like the curve of the earth, at some point they meet or cross over, each decision a person makes spawns a new branch in time, each branch continues on it own way like a ripple upon the face of the waters.

Life & time is like a larger scale model of the movie ground hog day.. except everyone is oblivious of the underlying story that they are simply replaying time over and over again.. the ones who make the right decisions end up stepping out of the loop and can truely rest in peace. The others are simply started back over again from birth to relive their exact lives from the point of conception to the point of death until they get it right.

A time machine may be possible if you could fold space and time back into itself creating a smaller gap between life and death so to speak..

It would take a great deal more gravity than the earth has.

It would have to be a way to harness gravity in a contained macro chasm preventing the excess gravitational forces from spilling out and destroying the world we live in... the feat of containing such gravitational forces would be in of itself a amazing feat it would probably take an equal and opposite gravitational force to contain the macro chasm.

Actually we could have been visited from somebody from the future, ther is no way in knowing. It's not like somebody is going to some out and say Hey I'm from The Future. First off, who would listin to him, secondnly, how we he ever prove it.

Thus creating a new question, if he traveled back in time how does he get back, does the machine come with him or is it a portal of some kind that opens and you walk through it?
And how would this differ with religious people seeing as no book of any religion mentions time travel?

There are many doubts and questions that must be answered of course if Time Travel were to ever be possible.
