Things like GPS and satelite communication wouldn't work if we didn't count for the diffrence in time caused by the diffrence in speed compared to here on earth.
Time travel is not only possible, but actualy already happening (although on a very tiny scale, and only towards the future).


If we could go near the speed of sound and we travel away from earth for 10 years and come back, we could be thousands of years in the future. Comming back aint really an option though.


The speed of sound is about 800mph, did you mean the speed of light maybe?

I think there's a story in the Bible about finding this boy in a field and he didn't know where he was. When they questioned him they found his parents had died 78 years ago and he only thought he was lost for 10 minutes. Probably crazy....

time and space are interchangeable and fundamentally the same thing.an effect which becomes more noticeable as you approach the speed of light.what you are talking about is called 'space time" just google it you and you should get the answers/questions you seek


This is correct

The theory of Relativity says time is relative to speed
The closer you approach the speed of light, the 'faster' time becomes

So in Einsteins example, if you traveled to Alpha Centari at the speed of light (6 light year round trip), for you 6 years would have passed.

But here on earth 100 years (not sure exact conversion) would have passed.

So we just need to invent spaceships with a reverse gear in order to travel back in time <---said Homer Simpson.

yeah thing are probable simpler than they seem, all it took was an apple falling on some guys head to realize what gravity was.
