I didn’t read the article, nor am I going to.

I wanted to respond to those who say time travel isn't possible. It is in fact, in my opinion it is quite the opposite.

Time travel has already taken place, and I can tell you exactly who:

Sergei Avdeyev, a Russian Cosmonaut spent 748 days on Mir orbiting the earth at over 17,000 miles per hour.

If we bring a little Einstein into the equation, he tells us that time is not constant. There is no universal clock that says one second is one second everywhere in the universe. Time needs to be thought of as it pertains to each individual. If we take that idea and combine it with the idea that the faster an object travels, the slower time goes, then we have successfully traveled into the future.

Clocks on all space stations and satellites orbiting the earth are a few one hundredths of a second adjusted forward for so they can stay in time with the earth. That is a fact. If they didn't do that, after years the clocks would be far being the actual time here on earth, because they are traveling closer to the speed of light than we are.

Sergei Avdeyev has spent a long time going 17,000 miles per hour. If time slows down the faster you go that would mean he is a few one hundredths of a second behind us on earth. Essentially this means he has traveled forward in time. His "body" clock is a few one hundredths of a second behind our time; however he is living on earth at earth time.

Don't take my word for it though; go read the Special Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein.
