Time travel is possible.

It appears that I am given the burden of proof. This I bare willingly and honorably. Allow me to begin by going over my opponent's rebuttal and strengthening my own position. --- 1) The definition begins; "Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space". Let's go through a little thought exercise, what is space travel? Simply put it is the act of moving through space. Space is defined as " The infinite extension of the three-dimensional region in which all matter exists." from http://www.thefreedictionary.com... so what is space travel, is it only high velocity motion through deep outer space? no. 'Space' travel can be something as simple as walking from here to there. And even when you are holding still you are traveling through space. Might I point out that the Earth is rotating, much faster than most realize, if the earth suddenly stopped spinning you would be thrown at near 1000 mph to the East. At the same time the Earth is orbiting the sun, which in turn is orbiting the galactic center. And even that, the Milky Way Galaxy, is moving. So therefore you are Traveling through space, regardless of how you look at it. This fact of space travel is independent of the velocity of that travel. Unless that velocity of travel is 0 one is still moving from one point to another. Now let us tie this back to time. My opponent has agreed that time is in fact simply another dimension in addition to the three dimensions of euclidean space and the higher dimensions described in both M and String Theory. For the sake of an example; this debate began on January 21, 2010. It is currently Early January 24, 2010. In the past I decided to join a debate, in the future I am going to finish the same debate (while trying to win). Currently I am moving between the two points of the beginning of the debate and the end of it. It is also brought up the Idea of "normal rate of time". But what is normal? Is what we perceive as time normal? What makes our inertial frame of reference so much more "normal" than any other inertial frame of reference? The theory of relativity does not deal with "normal" rates of time and then a faster rate of time. The theory of relativity has that the rate of time is relative to the inertial frame of reference. Perhaps it would be better to rearrange the equation so that the T and Delta T are on the same side leaving 1/sqrt(1-V^2/C^2) alone. this is the ratio of perceived time in two different inertial frames of reference. In order to create the ability of argument we will have to agree upon what the "normal rate of time" is. I assume that a ratio of 1/1 or just 1 could be seen as normal, therefore the inertial frame of reference of 0m/s should be the measurement for "normal". Any other subluminal speed would create a ratio larger than 1. Therefore we humans, located upon the Earth with currently no way to get off of the Earth and come to a complete stop, we are stuck traveling at a very high and fluctuating speed (though significantly lower than the speed of light). I would assume then that us here on Earth are traveling at a rate just slightly faster than "normal". 2)My second point is refuted by the claim that physical and perceptive time are different. My example of a person hopping into a fast rocket ship for 5 years and coming out 50 years later continues to stand. When the guy in the example steps out he is not 50 years older, not physically anyway, but only 5 years older. (maybe his birth certificate will claim he is 50 years older however a legal document does not change physical laws) I'll bring up the Twin Paradox. The premise of it is that one of a pair of twins jumps into a fast rocket for a little while, when (s)he returns they find that they have aged less than their twin who has stayed home on Earth. 3)upon looking over my original case I did omit any mention of backwards time travel. I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience, I will now respectfully submit a point 3 to my case as a quasi-rebuttal to my opponents pointing out my mistake. First I will admit that it has not been proven that backward time travel is possible. But at the same time it has not been proven that it is not, so the possibility is still present. As the resolution deals with possibilities and not hard evidence I feel that pure theory is appropriate in this case. There are two main proposed ways backward time travel is possible and both deal with Einstein's theory of relativity; the first being superluminal travel and the other being worm holes. sub point A) superluminal velocity means travel at higher than the speed of light. Einstein's theory of Relativity states than matter can approach the speed of light but not reach it as it takes an infinite amount of kinetic energy for matter to travel at the speed of light. This is often falsely assumed to mean that the speed of light is some universal speed limit. But it is not. The theory of relativity provides for the ability of faster-than-light travel. No superluminal particle has yet to be observed but if something were to be able to travel at a speed greater than light then the speed of light would act as a lower limit, a particle could slow down toward the speed of light but it would be impossible to reach that speed. Such an object, such as the hypothetical particle the Tachyon would therefore travel backward in time as we travel forward (the faster it goes the closer to -1 the perceived time travels at, finally reaching -1 at infinity). Sub-point 2) A worm hole can also be used to move not only to a past date but also from that past date to a future date. If it is possible to create a worm hole, have it stabilize and control both ends (it is undetermined if this is or is not possible) of the worm hole then you could have the worm hole connect to relatively close points in space (perhaps no farther than a few miles apart in space). One mouth of the worm hole could then be accelerated to a higher velocity than the other. Looking through the worm hole you would see a constant time zone all the way across the worm hole (meaning that inside of it all time is traveling at the same rate). Let us set up an example. If we create a worm hole this year, 2010, and accelerate one faster than the other, then the two mouths will travel through time at different rates. Maybe in the year 2050 someone could jump into the worm hole and come out in 2025, he has just traveled back 25 years into his past. So for these reason I urge a vote in affirmation from the readers.
