I truly don't believe in it. But if '04 comes (John Titor said '04 is when Waco like events would start happening) and sh1t hits the fan I'm gonna be ready to be bizombed in 2015. I'm going to have sex with as many women as possible before 2015. My story to try and lure them to bed is going to be that we are going to be nuked in 2015 so get as much sex as you can. Hence me getting some sex0r.

who wants to sex0r someone like you?
 
True, but a while back, the thought of a round earth was mind boggling, scary, and unbelivable.

Someday in the distant future there will be humans who say:

"yeah, we perfected time travel, big deal fabric of space, yeah... what is impossible is keeping our sun from going supernova."
 
Ok, no rational person would go back into history and change it. What if, by going back and killing hitler, you prevented your mother from beign born and thus, you are not born and thus you can not go back and kill hitler? Its a paradox. What would happen to the universe if such a thing happened? Lets assume that time travel is possible and we at one point accomplish it. You will never know about it until it happens.

String theory says there are multiple universes, effectively multiple realities. Going back and killing anyone would occur in a different universe, thus not effecting the timeline you originate from.

 
No link even required. its common sense. I mean just think about what time travel to the future really means. It just means that you travel through time at a faster rate than 1 second per 1 second earth time. right?


But first, one has to be familiar with a couple basic principles ---

First off everyone here needs to be brought to attention that time is relative because the speed of light is finite. That is Einsteins theory of relativity in a nutshell.
So, based off of this, if someone travels EXACTLY the speed of light, time would appear to stand still to them.
If someone travels faster than the speed of light, then they travel in the past. Think about it, it makes sense.

So, from those facts, hypothetically someone could travel to the future like this:
Say a guy named bob left earth in the year 2000, and orbited the earth at 1/2 the speed of light.
Bob returns to earth in the year 2020, 20 years of time has past on earth.
But, here is the key -- to bob, since he was going 1/2 the speed of light, time seemed to him to go twice as slow. Therefore, he only aged 10 years.
Bob has just travelled into the future.


Now, if you apply this to todays world---
A certain russian astronaut named Sergei Avdeyev Orbited the earth for 748 days travelling at a speed of 0.00254% the speed of light. Thus, after coming home,
he was actually 1/15th of a second younger than he would be if he didnt orbit the earth. See? time travel can and has already been done.

Yes, in modern science today there are 2 main theory -- the multiple universe theory -- what iwearnosox explained, and the self consistant theory. The self consistant theory simply says that time travelers cannot change the past. I cannot explain it very well, try googling it.

Ill have to check it out, I am not that well read in it, at least not in any modern sense. I read up on such theories a few years ago but nothing recent.

 
yes, very intriguing stuff, I just read "Time travel in eisteins universe", written by Richard Gott. If you want a book on time travel -- I would jump on that one
 
In theory, if you travel in time, you are NOT travelling in space, and if you are travelling in space you are NOT travelling in time. So, if you are travelling completely in time, you would end up back in time but way the fvck out in space someplace and it would takes years to return to earth.

So, MAYBE somebody has and they are just way the fvck out there...
 
Time travel is definitely possible.
I once came home with lipstick on my collar and leg make up on my ears. My wife knocked me back into last week.
