Hi to everybody...here's a good head teaser...love this guy...

Great big hugs...

I'm not sure time travel isn't possible one day. The power requirement might well be overcome in time. We may have sources of energy previously unknown or not utilised yet which could change our world..here's an interesting site that I found a long time ago and showed it to Safriz the other day...

Also, with regard to parallel worlds, it has the backing as a theory by some eminent minds including now Professor Stephen Hawkings, and there was no suggestion we could reach these other universes because not in sync with them but that doesn't mean they don't exist...maybe there really is much more to existence than meets the eye...I like to think so..LOL...great big hugs...-

The multiverse theory is total theory, with no data whatsoever to back it up. It's not impossible by any means, but it is utterly theoretical.
The power requirement for time travel is a massive obstacle, and it isn't the only one. Some problems simply can't practically be overcome, and channelling the entire power output of a Sun into a spaceship might just be one of them. Perhaps it will be done one day, but I really doubt it.

Did you check out Super Light? Just as a matter of interest...

Ah, sorry Jen. I meant to say thanks for the link and I'll look at it later, but I forgot! I'll get back to you later on that.]

I've read that site and it quite cleverly mixes some good physics (specifically the work of Tesla and Einstein in this field) with meta-physics. The "superlight" referred to is a purely theoretical extrapolation of how light behaves in normal space into how it might behave as it enters a black hole. Or in other words, it's an utterly unjustifiable extrapolation.
Don't trust anything that man says - he's as close to a charlatan as makes no difference as far as I can tell.

LOL...well he is highly qualified so must have given a great deal of time and thought to his theories...I don't dismiss anybody who comes up with a theory, because that has happened in the past dozens of times, then a hundred or so years later, the person was proved right...I've forgotten the guy's name at the moment but the one who rides round Britain on a bicycle and tells you the history of it and about people and their inventions, he did an excellent series not so long ago about forgotten inventors and scientists born way before their time, and whose inventions and ideas were dismissed by their peers but are now used or accepted by everybody - well those interested in science anyway...or were actually pinched by others...damn, my memory's gone I can't remember his name...LOL...

I know who you mean, and I can't remember his name either!
Theories are great - without them science would stall - but this one looks like a non-runner to me.

perhaps we can travel through time by travelling through space, where time moves at a different pace, i gather?
either that or just turn your clock back a few hours and start the day again?-

You'd soon get knackered with your body clock going haywire with your last suggestion...I like the idea of eddies in time and space, like whirl pools, though how you could actually control which year you went back to is uncertain, you may have to take pot luck and hope you don't arrive back too far in the past before humans hit the scene...LOL...and how do you get back to your own time as well?....hmmm...so many questions and so few answers...great big hugs..XX

Time travel is infeasible because of the power requirements (as he alludes to). I know it makes for great sci-fi, but it's completely impractical.
The Multiverse theory again sounds great for sci-fi, but there's no data that supports it, and no known mechanism for getting to those other universes, if they even exist.
Proper Hard sci-fi doesn't allow for time or FTL travel.
Tom.
