Is time travel possible?
ok i need to know if it is possible that in the near future we will be able to time travel. like im 13 so obviously i havent lived inthe 60s. however, i really want to go back in time and meet the beatles desparately. is it quite possible that time travel could be invented in my lifetime? also in addition, is anyone even trying to invent time travel right now?! and please list possible time travel theories as well. though i should prob be thinking about guys in my own generation, these are the thoughts that run through this 13 year olds mind. dang i was totally born in the wrong era! anyway, help a girl out and answer these 3 questions. kisses!

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
1. maybe.. they got a transparent airplane on the way.. anything is possible
2. to be honest I have no idea if they are , heres some sites

3. a lot can be accomplished and nothing can be said for real.. only time can tell..

1. Time travel will not be invented in your lifetime
2. Scientists are always investigating time travel and its possibilities
3. Theories can be found intensively on the internet with a simple google search of "time travel theories"
Here is a good article on time travel and how it now looks even less likely:

Chances are, its VERY unlikely that time travel will be possible in our lifetimes. If it is, it will need to be tested. And when tested, there will not be some sort of flood of machines, where every home will own one. There will probably be 1 machine, and they will probably charge you a fortune just to try it out. Even if it will be invented, will governments allow it? Imagine the unfathomable consequences on the future if you accidently killed a bug which completely changed out world today? And even if you went to the time era of when the Beatles were huge, chances are you probably would never get close enough to meet them, Maybe just get a glimpse. A touch if you very lucky?
Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey are still alive however. So the dream is not dead. My advice is to enjoy being your age, and stop worrying about whether you may be able to travel time and meet the beatles. There is a fine line between admiration and obsession.
Hope I helped :)

I like what Gunner wrote. Anything is possible when if we put are minds to it. When it comes to time travel I don't think this is a high priority as this would allow for the altering of history which would in turn alter the future.
If and when we ever have the ability to alter history one would think we have the ability to control the future. I not only think we should not control the future it would be wrong to even try.

watch "through the wormhole with morgan freeman". there's an episode on time travel, and it thoroughly explains what kind of math is involved in time travel. recently a bunch of physicists came out and said it was impossible. however, many people have said many things were impossible, like the atomic bomb, and space travel. humanity is hardwired to make the impossible happen. so, at some point, I expect somebody's going to figure it out. but I don't think, with the resources currently allocated to it, that it will happen anytime soon. Issac Asimov once said that if our entire species devoted itself to figuring out how to travel faster than light, it would be accomplished in less than a year. but the world doesn't work like that, so FTL is going to take perhaps another century at the earliest. time travel will be even longer, seeing as how people really don't want to fuck with timelines and alter history and shit like that. but, considering there are significant numbers of researchers looking into extending the human lifespan to centuries, and even possibly millenia, and that their field is about 20-30 years from achieving a breakthrough, it may be possible that you would live long enough to see time travel become possible. but at that point, I imagine it would just be a sideshow to the more breathtaking things that we as a species will be capable of by then. I sometimes wish I was born in a different era, perhaps a simpler time in which I could ride in an M-18 Tank destroyer across the plains of western europe and hunt Tigers... but then I realize that some poor bastard a hundred years from now will be thinking the same thing of what I have done in the mountains of central asia. its all a matter of perspective, of the grass looking greener yesterday, when in fact the grass will be greener tomorrow.
