Time Travel

Is time travel possible? While most scientists believe it is, some think it is not possible.

According to the theory of relativity, time is an illusion and it is relative(obviously). Depending on how much fast you move relative to something else, time slows down or speeds up. Also gravity affects speed, that affects time, so theoretically gravity can bend time. A clock in a satellite orbiting Earth gains 38 microseconds a day which proves that gravity affects time.

But all that are just theories and while some of them are proven, that does not mean they are correct.

Because all are proven in relation to how humans measure time and from the perspective of observing an object in relation to another. Since we cannot understand time, we manufactured devices to keep track of it and in some way "control" it in our own needs.

So if someone is travelling very fast, at the speed of light, he affects time but only at his own perspective in relation to an observer. Let's keep it simple and say, hypothetically, that someone is travelling so fast that everyone and everything else is standing almost still. Maybe he does goes ahead of time in relation to others but only in his own perspective, because for everyone else time is advancing at the same rate. He is the only one experiencing a time slow down but when he stops he will experience time like all others do and nothing has changed. Time flows and maybe it's impossible to stop. A theory is that instead of trying to reach the speed of light to advance into the future, one must escape the time-space continuum from his current timeline and let the time advance without affecting him so he can "jump into" the timeline he wants to be in. Time advances in relation to how our brain processes the concept of time. We live in a specific timeline that "flows"only forward, so it may be impossible to "travel" into another point of our timeline.

But would it be possible to "travel" into a specific point in another timeline?

This would be possible if there are infinite parallel earths like our own but they are in a different state of time than ours. If they are infinite then there are infinite timelines so what we have to do is choose in which timeline we would like to be. Even if this theory could be true there is an issue like all theories of time travelling. If someone disappears from the current timeline and "pops up" to another then we will have a "matter" disappearance and reappearance. As far as we know we cannot just disappear matter nor create it from nothing. And maybe that is the main reason why we cannot travel in time (yet).

So if in the near future we can understand time and it's abilities and we can manufacture a device to travel in time through other dimensions and there is only the fact of the matter that limits us maybe we can surpass it. If someone from a future timeline in another dimension is about to make a leap in our timeline that is in the past for him, we can trade places and somehow exchange matter through dimensions.

I'm not trying to debunk any theories, i'm just giving you food for thought.
