Time Travel theory

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 1:37 pm

Ok so I was thinking today (for literally no reason at all, mind you) about time travel. I personally do not believe that time travel is possible. I do not see time as a "thing", time is simply a measurement system that we have to keep track of ourselves. Therefore I don't think it can be manipulated, because it's not a thing.

Anyway.

I was just thinking about WHAT IF, time travel was real. So then I got to thinking harder.

If time travel was possible, wouldn't we already have time travelers here? The way I see it, if time travel was possible, that means there would have to be a future. You can't go somewhere where something does not exist. So in that future, we would have to insinuate that it exist forever until the world ends. So if in that time they haven't discovered how to time travel, (and they obviously haven't) we won't EVER discover it, because if we DO discover it, we'd already know about it, because time travelers would have already come back to TELL us it's possible, because IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED OR NOT HAPPENED.

Does that make any sense?

time is a dimension just like space. 1 second is a unit of time just like 1 light-year is a unit of length


(I know, I just couldn't resist using that unit :P)

Where is your scientific proof to back that up? That time is indeed a dimension?

It's the basis of a lot of science, including relativity.

If you have a GPS device, check that it works. if it does, than time is a dimension.
