If time travel really is possible,wouldn't we have evidence of it?

heh....true story...Last night and this morning had a pretty vivid dream where I had figured out how to travel back to the 80s (details were missing per Inception)....

And I'm talking to some sportswriters and I'm doing like Biff and telling them in advance who is going to win every Super Bowl and World Series. "But keep it quiet".....

Also am telling them to buy Microsoft, Sun Systems and Apple.

But as I'm telling them about the 1989 World Series, I am wondering if I should also tell them that the afternoon after Game 2 there will be a mammoth earthquake that will collapse freeways and kill hundreds of people. And that thought morphs over into my wondering if I should warn people about the events of 9/11/01.....

and then I woke up and had breakfast

And we all lived happily ever after

The End

Quantum physics says that any backwards time travel -- which may very well be impossible in any case -- could only go backwards to the point when a time machine was invented. So if such a time machine was ever created, perhaps at that moment we'd be instantly flooded with tourists coming back in time to witness the first test of the machine.

Anytime you start getting into quantum physics you're dealing with some pretty "spooky" stuff (Einstein's term for it). The new Morgan Freeman series "Through the Wormhole" does a pretty good job of boiling some of the concepts down.

No, almost definitely not. As another poster pointed out...time travel to future is possible due to the phenomena of time slowing down as an object accelerates closer and closer to the speed of light. Basically, if you were to go up above Earth and travel around for 2-3 years at the speed of light, when you came back home you would notice that quite a bit more time had passed. So yes, technically you could time travel slightly if you could accelerate to the speed of light, but seeing as how that requires an infinite amount of energy...light speed travel is not going to be possible for humans - at least according to some scientists. I find all this stuff extremely interesting and like to read up on it as much as I can. I am not the best at explaining it, but I do enjoy talking about abnormal theories, the universe, time travel, black holes, etc.

according to quantum physics it is theoretically possible but, you'd likely end up back in an alternate universe. It is mathematically possible and that's a fact not SyFy.

Yea,It is just so interesting and stimulating thinking about this sort of stuff.Takes my mind all over the place .Just imagine if you created a time machine in your house.The moment that you completed it successfully ,would there be a knock at your door from time traveling tourists coming to visit the time of creation?Would there be total chaos?Would all of a sudden everything on earth change dramatically?Just thought provoking....
I've always had an idea of a formula for predicting the future but it would eventually get so complex that I can't yet wrap my mind around it.But I do believe that a lot of things that we assume to be impossible are truly possible with enough though behind it.

all depends on your definition of time travel....

i think we can manipulate time to some extent with the current technology we have however time travel as in the movies is a lil far fetched for me at this point. i mean just the idea of flying across the country is in theory time travel.
