Time Travel - Into the Future Only?

Since time may go on into the fute forever...

what's a 'fute'?

It's WAY to early in the day for you to be dropping acid.

If we are those on the very front end of the expanding progresing time, we will never be able to go back in time till we get to the point that we discover it. But since we are not advanced enough we will have to wait till some future generation discovers how to do it. But even if we had the ability right now, we would not be able to sice we are on the edge of time as it expands. It is like we are on the crest of a "time wave." There is nothing in front of us till we get there.

I think my "time wave" theory explains why there are no future time travelers coming back to visit us.

I think your post explains why kids today score so poorly on literacy and science tests. Surely no one from the future would want to travel back to visit if you are the star attraction.

Since time had a starting point

Unproven premise #1

first you must prove that such a thing as time even exists. its like proving numbers exist.

And you must prove it is linear as well. Call it "big assumption that is not at all certain" #1

Question to all (silly personality test):

If you had to pick one, would you travel back in time or forwards in time? Why?

forward. although it would be cool to see the dinosaurs and jesus christ walking on water, more is left up to the imagination in the future.

Sounds like you already have quite an imagination with regards to the past.

yeah i'm no believer

Too many assumptions there. If this, if that. If time is a line that you could travel upon, then why would you assume that we're at the leading edge? Only because no one has come back? Maybe they have and you just don't know it. If they're smart enough to travel to different times, then they are probably smart enough to know that this would upset a great number of today's people, so they would find a way to disguise themselves. Maybe flying saucers are time traveling machines or ghostly images. No way of knowing.

I would be interested in what some of the more scientific minds on this site like jtupper, Flagpole and Jim Fiore think of my theory. I would like to be able to test it if it can be tested.

This is an excellent troll. I was unsure whether it was a troll until these last two sentences, which sealed the deal. You get bonus points for getting an actual response from FW.

Time travel is possible, think about we minds get time travel through our dreams. To time travel doesn't mean you have to physical do it or body is just matter, but our minds are what really makes us so if our mind could travel with out evening know short of like long term memory. You can say that when telling story about the past it kind of time traveling. I mean you are remember everything that happen so your mind in time traveling back so you can know what happen.

I think you've been watching too many movies with christopher reeves and the broad from dr quinn medicine woman.
