Mathematician Calculates Possibility of Time Travel

[LogicalFallacy]

Not sure where on the science vs science fiction scale this is, but its interesting.

Time travel into the future will happen. The first possible way is by time dilation which I think, for reasons explained in our last thread concerning time, is not likely to ever happen for the reasons I explained. The most likely way for future time travel will be by suspended animation of the individual. This we have seen in many science fiction movies, and IMO it will most certainly happen. But one cannot go back in time to revisit where we came from. This is because IMO time is nothing more than change. Once change has occurred it cannot be unchanged, undone or revisited, or ever put together in the same way again.

 

What the link is talking about is mainly time travel into the past. Impossible, I say . This is theoretical physics, not just math. Math by itself is not science. Math is no more than a tool for science, available for application in science theory like this one, engineering, technical areas, and science application like space travel and countless other scientific pursuits.

 

But the future can extend indefinitely so who knows what "impossible" things might be happening then
