I want to know everything about this phenomalnan, yes I know about the speed of light. First sceincetist to really push its borders? When will it happen? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

if you mean scientist pushing the speed of light to its limits, the speed of light is at the universe's limit, nothing can travel faster than light, as light is moving on only 1 dimension, space, everything else travels through at least 2 dimensions, space and time, i believe time travel will be possible but not how you may be thinking, i dont think we will be able to travel back to ancient times but possibly slow time down enough to where when you return to "normal" time you will have in essence travel into the future, however you actually wouldnt be traveling spontaneously into the future, you would be moving foward in time like everyone else just at a slower rate, get what im saying?

No one else has any input on this subject?

if you think about it, we've already succeeded in the answer...to be cryogenically frozen...to wake up the same age in a different year. I said yes, however real time travel, the ability to go back or forward in time while awake or such, I don't think will ever be achieved in the near future, if ever.

I can't understand what do you mean by "succeeded in the answer...to be cryogenically frozen". I don't see any success there. Has there been a case in which someone was cryogenically frozen and then "brought back up and running"? I don't think so...

As for time travel, it is entirely impossible, at least in a sense of time as we understand it. Things happen only once, that's it. The closest we could possibly get to, in the far future, will be either a simulation or an illusion of time travel, or perhaps something very similar but not itself true.

But the whole "Going back to time, change history, come back to an entirely different world", is entirely fictional

I guess I didn't make myself clear. I didn't say we succeeded in DOING that, but we have the answer if someone did want to skip a few years of Earth life lol. But I think that is possible to do that. Real time travel I have a lot of doubt in though.

I think time travel is real. I've even had one idea myself. I dont know the credibility of if but its like this: say we move at a certain speed, we'll call it speed 1. It ranges for so long until we can't go faster. We can also only see or feel things within our speed range. But, my idea was that as we do one thing, we do it again, but at a different speed. So we don't see or feel ourselves do it again. But as we do it, we had done it just before but once again at a different speed. So we move in speed 1 and we do it again but in speed -1 and just before in speed 2. So in my theory, if we speed up or slow down past the limits of the speed we're in, we travel through time. Get what im saying? It's weird.

Seeking, what do you mean that light only travels on 1 dimension?

I can remember reading an article on a, I think conspriracy stie, (lost link) about a scientist (german I beleive, maybe Russian) who, with his team, had succeeded in the slowing down of time. He had created some sort of machine which would slow down time around it. It went on to say that when they stood in the room while it was switched on they experienced wierd sensations and when they turned it off a lot of time had passed when they had only had it on for several minutes.

I think something like that would be possible but nothing like Back to the Future.

well what is said through special relativity is that (this is einsteins theory) everything in the universe travels at the speed of light, with most of there motion in the time dimension rather than the 3 spacial ones, the only difference between the speed of light and the speed of everything else is that light is only traveling in 1 spacial dimension, where as everything else is sharing there motion with 2 other spacial dimensions and 1 time dimension, basically what it breaks down to is, picture yourself driving at 100mph in a straight line that is 100 miles across north to south, it will take you 1 hour to complete the journey, now if it were to take you longer than that 1 hour but you were still traveling at a constant 100mph the only explanation would be you were off course traveling at an angle rather than a straight line(north to southeast or north to southwest), considering the angle another dimension, you are now sharing your 100mph with the north-south dimension and the east-west dimension-you are still going 100mph but now becasue of the added dimensions you've appeared to slow down, light only travels straight out from north to south, no east west and no up and down, it also does not travel through time as we have concluded with expirimental data that the faster you move the slower time passes

Did they slow down the time or the how fast particles moved?

I can't remember all the details from it. All I remember is that it was a group of scientists who had supposedly managed to create some machine that did something, maybe slowed particles down or whatever, that rings a bell, that made time slow down around the machine, kinda like a bubble... I'll try and see if I can find the site with this article on.
