I think time is our invention to keep things from happening all at once. We came to experience but the enjoyment of each experience would be muddled and lost if we had to instantaneiously experience all experiences at once.

I read a book called "The Field" by Lynne McTaggart that touches on the subject of turning back time. In it she talks about experiments using REG machines, where subjects were able to influence output results after the machines were run. The experiments were lead by Helmut Schmidt, and Robert Jahn & Brenda Dunne if you're interested in finding out more.

I just finished reading Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth". Oprah was right about this book being one of the most compelling and important pieces of literature of all "time". In it, he goes into great detail illustrating that "time" is merely one of those mental concepts that man developed and uses to make sense of his "reality". Although it sounds ridiculous at first, his discussion of how time really does not exist makes a whole lot of sense. He does not deny "clock-time" as a useful tool, but shows how actual time is an entirely made-up concept and not an entity or universal force whatsoever. This lends itself to the conclusion that time-travel is also a fallacious concept. Both the past and the future are merely egoic thoughts of man borne of his compulsion to feel in control and minimize fear of the unknown. The ONLY time that could possibly exist is NOW, which becomes past and ceases to exist just as quickly as it is percieved. One cannot really physically "travel" forward or backward along the length of a mere concept.

I think we already do. I think UFO sightings are really future versions of us traveling back through time to study us. Wouldn't you, if you had access to a time machine? Maybe in the future we go on field trips to the past to study history or evolution. Man that would be awesome!!

I would prefer to go sideways in time. However, if time travel is possible, then it's already happened, and if somebody did something to affect something-or-other in the past, then it has already happened, and it just worked itself out. Read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I think its humorous explanation makes the most sense. (time doesn't change, it fits together like a puzzle)

I believe that opening a window between a place in time here and the same place in another time is possible -- much in the way Stephen Hawking described the arrangement of space and time. The question though is whether that timeline is the same as ours; i.e., would changing past events there have any effect whatsoever on our own timeline here? Supposed it would be like stepping from one noodle of spaghetti to another -- sometimes you're on another part of the same noodle, but usually you're on a different noodle altogether.... ;)

it would be awesome but I don't think it's going to be possible or at least until after many years. If people could travel back in time they would probably change something in the past which would change history or something...wow this is complicated x)

I really hope so, and I don't think it's impossible. We don't understand enough about the universe/time yet to dismiss the possibility.

Unfortunately, I don't think it would ever be possible to go back in time. Maybe I'm not thinking hard enough, but the concept doesn't make sense to me. If we are able to go back in time, and pick whatever time we can go back to, wouldn't that mean another universe would have to be created with every passing second? And what about the future? And what if history changes because someone decides to go back in time and accidentally steps on a butterfly (a sound of thunder--ray bradbury)? How would the future change and what would happen to the original one? Time travel has so many complexities, I feel like even if it were possible, humans would not be able to figure out how to do it. It's simpler and more logical to think that what happens, happens, and passes forever. Things just naturally age and die. That is nature. There is no "timeline" involved on which we can just hop onto and slide back and forth on.
