I do know that's a real possibility, but I doubt we will see it in our lifetime, and really, how would we know it works.
Travel into the past is near impossible, or out of our realm of understanding
We know it works because it's based on Einstein's theory of relativity, and we've been able to prove it on a much smaller scale. We know that as an object approaches the speed of light, time slows down.
Am I the only one who is addicted to Through the Wormhole with Morgan effing Freeman? Love that damn show.

His kid was in the future. He had to save his kid.

WTF are you talking about?
That post was in all seriousness.
You mentioned something about BTTF 2 that is pretty obvious.
Martys fricking son was in trouble in the future. Doc Brown came back in time to get Marty to help Marty's son.
If you're so butthurt about a couple tongue in cheek posts in your genius of a thread you need to chill bro.

Just because our digestive systems wouldn't be able to adjust to the different bacteria on the food?

Time travel is possible, however you can only go back seven days. You have to get in a round device that sends you back and it makes your nose bleed. I saw this on some documentary.
Maybe that was on the Sci Fi Channel????

The real question is this: Why didn't Doc just tell Marty not to drag race with Needles? If Marty doesn't drag race, his kid doesn't become a douche bag.
Before you give me "No one should know too much about their own destiny", it was okay for Marty and Doc to interfere with Martys future kid, but not with Martys future?
I still love the BttF movies. I come up with new questions everytime I see them.

I never thought of it that way
Those movies and stuff like Terminator always leave me with some new inquiry every time I see them

quote:traveling near or at the speed of light is not a possibility. as you approach the speed of light, your mass increases, necessitating more and more energy to accelerate you further. at the speed of light, your theoretical mass is infinity and impossible to accelerate. even at speeds near the speed of light that might induce time dilation, the amount of energy needed is impractical and beyond our current technology.quote:I do know that's a real possibility
We just need a spaceship that can travel at or near the speed of light. So we can't do it now, but we know exactly how to do it.

near or at the speed of light
I'm familiar with all of this at a basic level. But I've never seen an explanation as to why the speed of light. What is it about the speed of light that is so special that it has these limits? I mean, light is just a wave on the spectrum. So why is it so special as opposed to the speed of radio waves or gamma rays or x-rays or infrared? What am I missing?

Some have theorized that by extending some of the equations in Einstein's Theory of Relativity, there could be the ability to be able to exceed the speed of light, thus forgoing the complications you posted, pertaining to theoretical mass. Simply just a theory however.
They do state that since no one has attempted it, we cannot fathom it possible, but cite the breaking of the sound barrier as another example of something we thought man would be unable to do.
Again, this is all theoretical, and in all likely hood, will never happen, or not when we are alive
Here is a diagram of the extended equation

Scientists have extended Einstein's equations for faster-than-light travel. Here a three-dimensional (right) graph shows the relationship between three different velocities: v, u and U, where v is the velocity of a second observer measured by a first observer, u is the velocity of a moving particle measured by the second observer, and U is the relative velocity of the particle to the first observer.

However, I was thinking that the paradox could simply cause a rip in time, leading to another parallel universe, with one timeline continuing as is, but the new timeline, leading from you being stuck in this new reality with no parents, and no way to return.
If the scenario's results is the creation of a new timeline and not the deletion of your existence, the obvious (albeit brutal) solution would be to go back in time once again and kill yourself before you kill your grandfather, thereby creating a third timeline that's a replica of the first.

that figure is greek to me, but how would they work around the mass/energy proportionality? "faster than the speed of light" just doesn't sound legit, but i'm not exactly on the cutting edge of theoretical physics. i'm just reciting what i learned from high school and college physics classes. do you have a link to this? i'll read it later.
