Default Time Machine? - 12-16-2002, 10:02 PM

Do you belive it is possible to make a Time Machine? If so you think you could build one in year and I could test it? Cause I am sick of all this modern day crap so yeah help me if you can.

well. if u think about it..... going back in time is a paradox..... becuz how can u go back in time b4 u were born but exist when u really havent.. or how can u go back in time..... but the time machine hasnt been built yet..... the future is simple... u cannot go into the future simply becuz it hasnt existed.

If someone invents a time machine and you go back and get one...yes.

Don't think that just because something is hard to believe or sounds far fethed it isn't possible or true. Only up until a little while ago everyone thought everything revolved around the earth. We know that is not the truth now, but if you had said that back then, everyone would ahve thought you were crazy.

lol, well how can you go back in time....I'd like to hear an expert explain how all the protons and electrons from the past are re-excited and somehow the earth reverses revolutions and rotations, causing everything to go in reverse...and how can a machine alter this?

I don't know. I'm not a scientist, but think of how far technology has advanced in 100 years. What will it be like in another 100? The industrial revolution has just begun. Merely even 200 years.

just because something can't be explained now, doesn't mean it can't or won't happen.

Take God for example. billiions of people believe in a God or another, but has anyone ever seen one? Can you prove it does or doesn't exist? no one can. We can't say God doesn't exist, but we can't say he does either.

Scientifically of course.

A time machine is possible, in theory.

- You will technically go back in time, but everything around you would be the same as usual.

- Time might not be able to go negative, you could slow time relitive to yourself, but once again nothing would happen.

- Time might not even exist, it could be something humans made up. I know you can record time, but if you think deep enough...how do we know it exists?

Do't be so closed minded.

And back to the future refers to someone going back to where they ahve been before. Just like back to school. You were at school last year and now your going back. You went to the future whenever, and now your going back. Anyway, its just a movie that made millions of dollars. How can you criticize them?

time is something we invented, it is actually the idea that all molecules use energy constantly and it is never destroyed, that is why everything continues to move in a forward pattern
