Do you think the technology exists somewhere in a secret government lab or something?
Or is it simply impossible

My chair is a unidirectional time machine, but I broke the handle on the side so it only goes one speed.

AFAIK time travel into the past is theoretically impossible, but "time travel" into the future is possible via the time dilation effects of traveling at relativistic speeds. The only problem is that you couldn't come back home. It'd be a one-way trip, and if all civilization collapsed while you were gone, you'd be awfully lonely.

This post is a time machine. By the time you finish reading it, you will have been transported 3 seconds forward into the future from the time you started reading it.

No. But its not impossible, see benther

i have a time machine on my wrist.

Couple years ago:



Pretty wild.

Time travel is impossible, for time isn't real

True: 1) the second law of thermodynamics (increase of entropy with increasing time) explicitly makes 'backward timetravel' impossible for macroscopic objects.
2) the key to time dilation is not travelling at relativistic speeds but accelerating to relativistic speeds, slow down, and accelerate backwards to relativistic speeds to go back. You can also use gravitational forces instead.

I WATCH WILLIAM SHATNER WIERD OR WHAT HE SAID THAT TRAVELING BACK INTO TIME IS POSSIBLE
HOW EVER WE WOULD HAVE TO REACH A GREAT SPEED WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE.

EDIT TRAVELING BACK IN TIME I THINK HE SAID WE HAVE TO TRAVEL AT LIGHT SPEEDS AND EXIT THREW A WORMHOLE

not possible in the next 200 years. you can repost then. my best estimate is that it will never be possible (i dont know much about this tough). If it were nobody should do it anyways. It would be seriously wrong
