vid is a joke
no such thing as time portal
the heck does black hole have to do with time travel it only takes u to places faster and also stretches u like a rubber band

Simple explanation.

1. Man climbs under the sink.
2. Man hits his head.
3. Man is knocked uncontentious and hallucinates the whole dream.

i think it went like:

1. emmet "doc" brown climbed on the toilet to hang a picture.
2. doc hits head, dreams up flux capacitor.
3. stole plutonium from terrorists (libyan).
4. huey luis rules. i wanna go back in tiiiime.

didnt bother watching video. if the guy went back in time he or his camera wouldnt be able to travel back to this time-space to post the video. he would instead be in an alternate reality from this one or time-space would split no one knows. changing the past is most likely impossible anyways. what we call time doesnt really exist according to science.

i think it is possible to view the past but not interact with it. that is, if a way to move faster than the speed of light is ever discovered. just as in einsteins theory of relativity, if one is moving away from something, say a clock, at the speed of light, the scene before your eyes never changes until of course the light disperses as it propagates through space with you. so, that said, if i could catch up with the light im emitting now at this time tomorrow i guess i could look at myself sitting here...but nothing more

as for the future, no way no how

it depends on what is meant by 'time travel'; just by flying around the world we time travel. if you're talking about the extreme sort of time travel where u shift years instead of just hours, then wormhole theory suggests that it's possible to find a curvature through which one may travel (like in a loop) through space-time and arrive at the same place at a very differet time in what would feel like an instant or at least very little time. another suggestion is that IF we could build a fast enough vehicle to travel in orbit around the earth (near the speed of light), over time we would age more slowly than our earthbound associates--enough so that we would save years, not just hours, days, etc.

but basically it seems pretty impractical that we will be performing such feats any time soon. in a way, we already travel through time, if we allow the idea that our vision always gives us delayed information. what we "see" is actually measured against a delay during the process of perception. the light our eyes receive from a distance is also playing time tricks on us. it seems to be broadcast immediately, but when we view the stars we're looking hundreds and even thousands of years through time; and when we see pictures of other galaxies we get to see images from light-years away--up to 13+ billion light years away.

you see time travel everyday, when you look at the stars your technically looking into the past b/c some of them have gone out millions of years ago, but it takes the light so long to reach us that we still see it

Faster into the future, possibly.

Into the past, very doubtful.

Depends how you define "time travel". To go back to 1960, that would be impossible. But in the (not to distant) future, it will be possible for particles to go back to an earlier time (in the future), maybe eventually humans. I know a physicist, who is studying time travel. The gravitational field created by a laser beam in a tight circular path can distort space as well as time, and can theoretically send particals and information into the past, up to the point that the machine was turned on. He found out that it is theoretically possible.
