Time Travel, to the future, is possible.

I'd like to first apologize to my opponent, "My opponent's last response was disrespectful and deceitful.", no harm intended. But in regards to, "He would have us assume that just because he tags "and this is supported by people with credentials", it must be the truth." I do not mean it is the truth, and I do agree I posed my idea wrong by saying "Unless he is a credited physicist or mathmetician, his argument is irrelevant." , what I do mean is this: People with credentials, who have studied a particular field, especially one like astrophysics, have more credibility then someone with no experience. Wouldn't you agree? And you in fact offered nothing by anyone besides yourself, and still you offer no opinions against time dilation but your own. "I have offered a valid, logical counterpoint which he has absolutely refused to address." - Your counterpoint, "Clocks don't tell time the way we think they do... The flaw of special relativity is that it assumes that clocks somehow look around at where they are and display time the same way a thermometer displays temperature. Clocks all operate by doing a certain thing at a certain rate. In the urban legends of fast traveling aircraft where the times are off by one second, that can easily be attributed to barometric conditions and other variables that effect the mechanism by which clocks work." In fact I answer this, by previous stating you have no sources (something esstianal to a credible debate) stating ideas against Special Relativity or Time Dilation, and by my second point. "2. In his assertion that Time Dilation is something we don't have, he uses the example of the clocks on the ground and in the airplane, his assumptions that there are barometric conditions and other variables that effect the mechanisms by which clocks work, that argument may stand. Though I never referenced time travel here on Earth. " I later explained the example with the astronaut, referencing Earth's gravitational well, "First, a clock sitting at rest wiht respect to Earth at the altitude of the Mir Space Station would slightly tick faster than one on Earths surface. Thats because Mir is higher up in Earths gravitational well" "I needn't limit myself. The whole concept of special relativity is founded on the experiments on earth, since none so far have been reproducible to preferable proportions in space. Therefore, my pointing out a MASSIVE LOGICAL FLAW in the preliminary experiments is of utmost importance in judging the validity of this concept in general." Once again my opponent basis a claim of his logic. "In reality, Mr. Avdeyev probably hasn't aged at all, because of that singular flaw I mentioned. My opponent has a moot point here because the only way this piece of "evidence" can help him, is if he proves what he is debating. Thus, circular logic, begging the question." Special relativity is part of general relativity, and is valid only under a limited set of conditions. The theory of general relativity provides strict rules that neither special relativity, nor any of our other theories of the universe, can violate. General relativity is something widely believed in and tested (http://www.reasons.org...). All NASA scientists can go off of is equations to ensure a safe flight, and it is equations scientist use that are proving this time travel is possible. I conclude with this to opponent, bring forth an opinion other then that of your own. Though the theory of time travel has to be based on the assumption that time travel is real, that is what this debate is about. Mathmeticians and scientist believe it is real, at least to the future. Its not that the clock is clicking differently, its that to an outside observer it is clicking either slower or faster, it is the increased or decreased observation from our conscious that make time travel possible, time is after all an observation. I hope this answers all of your counterpoints.
