Time Travel Into the Past Might Be Possible (Not Requiring the Help of God)

"How do you know that the time tourists would try to make themselves blatantly obvious? Perhaps they disguise themselves as ordinary people. Perhaps after time travel was discovered, the government banned it due to potential paradoxes, and very few people have actually illegally travelled back in time. Perhaps the time travelers were able to convert themselves into energy in a way that they still had their senses and looked as if they had bodies, but could not actually be seen or heard by people who existed naturally there. In this way, people could record the shot heard round the world without being mentioned in textbooks. And then there's Hawking's theory that once time travel is discovered, we will only be able to travel back to that point, and no point further, because the time machine doesn't exist to travel into. There's also the theory that when you go back in time, you end up in an alternate universe at your desired time, and all events up until that point occur like they had in the original universe, but they start changing in a ripple effect from your arrival, depending on what you do. " 1. They would never be able to disguise as regular people. That never works. If they were doing that for all of time, then we would have (in concept) infinity extra people, so Earth would collapse, and the universe would be filled with dead bodies, blocking out the sun, destroying everything, so the future could not exist. 2. If the government bans something, that does not mean the people would not do it, so it goes with the same concept as above. Eventually, some one would have to succeed to break in and time travel back, so if one could do it, infinity could. 3. . http://en.wikipedia.org... In order to sense light, the eye must be made of matter. If it was energy, it would not be able to do anything to it. Also, as energy, people would fly about endlessly, separated from the rest of them. They would essentially be dead when they tried it. 4. As my ultimate counter, I will say that after an event has occurred, it is not recorded anywhere. It no longer exists. Think about what you did yesterday. Does anyone know exactly what happened everywhere (not including God)? No, they don't. This data would be necessary to recreate the past, and it is not there; thus, time travel is impossible. "To counter all of your theory disapprovals, just because we think something can't be done, doesn't mean that it can't be done. Saying that the atom bomb is different from time travel because the atom bomb has already been constructed doesn't fly. In the 20th century, people started building planes. This didn't show that building a rocket ship was impossible. And I DO know the method of time travel in 'The End of Eternity'. A tremendous (but not infinite) amount of energy is put into a generator, which converts that energy into a Temporal Field, which was then put into a time kettle (time machine) which controlled the Temporal Field to move forwards and backwards in time. " . http://www.merriam-webster.com... Time: a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future . http://en.wikipedia.org... Time is nothing but a measurement, just like distance. Now, since you don't like those theories, here are some more: mongeese's Trigger Theory: Every time a certain, random, unknown trigger occurs, time is suddenly reversed ten minutes, and the Chaos Theory is applied so that that trigger is not activated again. We do not know what this trigger is because every time it is triggered, we go back in time, and don't remember that ten minutes that passed between the later and then. mongeese's Randomness Theory: Time randomly goes forwards and reverses. We advance three second, then time undoes half of a second, then we advance for five minutes, then time moves back twenty minutes. We can't prove this, either, because we forget everything that occurred in the time that was undone. Passive Theory: People can go back in time, but then they don't have the power to alter the events that have already occurred. They are essentially holograms, like Al was in the TV series "Quantum Leap". . http://en.wikipedia.org...... Pentagon: The Pentagon may have already discovered time travel backwards, for all we know. And they've been using it to undo the countless assassinations of George Bush and Barack Obama. " Response to Trigger Theory: That is obviously impossible. Random actions do not cause time to move backwards, because it is always moving forwards. What happened no longer exists; there is only the present. Response to Randomness Theory: This is similar to the above response. Time moves forwards by definition. Also, this would involve bringing people back to life. Clearly, this would require the help of God. Response to Passive Theory: Think back to when there was no TiVo. After a show was broadcasted on your TV, you would be unable to rewind, because this data was not stored anywhere. This is like the passage of time. It is not fully kept track of. Response to Pentagon: If they know how to travel back in time, someone would find it, go back in time, and ruin everything. Don't argue that they would just come back from later in the future, because there would be no future. "Also, just because time travel is possible, doesn't mean we have to actually discover how. We may never know, and the solution may be sitting in front of our noses. We don't know. " If it is possible, we will discover it. There would be enough time to. In conclusion, time travel backwards will never be possible. "In conclusion, time travel backwards might be possible. "
