Here some on my theory. I will use Gunther as my example.so tommorrow Gunther figures out a way to travel back into time. and he travels back 20 years into the past. first off he would never be able to get back to his present time, because time travel will have never been created yet. so if Gunther did create time travel and went into the past, he would never know that he created time travel, because it wouldn't exist yet. And would his past self be there with him? is it possible to have 2 of the identical person, but of different ages? If you took a TV with you while you traveled 1000 years in the past, what would happen to the TV, because it had not been invented yet.If Gunther travels too far into the future, would he automatically die because he is too old? Would he also be in the present, if he traveled to the future? what if he did discover time travel, and did travel to the future. so he travels 5 years into the future. and he sees his friends 5 years older, and everything around him is 5 years older. Like I said with the part of traveling into the past, would there be an identical him, just younger? but the twist with the future is, there could be no identical him in the future, because he had already created time travel and traveled into the future, while in the present. (if you understand what I mean) its pretty hard to explain, but that is why I believe you may be able to travel into the future, but not the past.If you created time travel and just decided to travel 10 minutes into the past, would you forever spend the rest of your life in a vicious cycle of traveling back 10 minutes in time? You create it, try it by going back 10 minutes to see if it works, go back 10 minutes before you tried it, so you don't know you tried it, so then you try it and go back 10 minutes, and so on.its a trippy thing to think about. It sure can boggle your mind when you are high.
Oh, and here's my little 'genius' addition to that (which Einstein himself may have figured out, he's certainly much better at stuff like this then me)... this whole theory apparently hints at the idea that time is somehow linked to the speed of light. For instance, like above, if you see the person at the midpoint of the football field, that's your reality, and the TIME you are in, at the second... but in reality, the person has made it to the other end of the football field already, by breaking the speed of light. That person is in the future, but to you, the person you still see at the 50 yard line is in the present... the person you see at the 50 yard line is a representation of the speed of light reaching your eyes... so we all exist, in the scope of time, at the speed of light. That's why breaking the speed of light will allow time travel.
No, Einstein DID prove it's possible to travel through time. It's really quite simple, Einstein's theory of relativity shows that if you were in a vehicle moving faster than the speed of light, then you would at least APPEAR to travel through time. This also holds true for ideas about 'invisibility' or whatever, same concept. So yes, time travel is possible... Einstein proved it as a simple concept, expounded upon, Time Travel as we imagine in sci-fi flicks would be equally possible. For instance, say the speed of light is 1 mile per hour. You start at one end of a football field, and someone's standing in the end zone watching you. Now, you move at 2 miles per hour, to the other end of the football field. You arrive at the other end of the football field, twice as fast as light can move... that means that the person standing in the endzone, doesn't see you at the opposite end of the football field yet, even though you're there... that person sees you in the middle of the football field. Why? Because since you were going twice as fast as the speed of light, you're twice as far as the light of you has reached the observer's retinas. So, he sees you at the middle of the field, while you are in reality, in the FUTURE, at the end of the field. He'll see you there, in a bit, even though you're already there. Not only are you in the future, at the end of the field, you are invisible. So, to the observer, you are a traveler of time, you're already in the future, even though he still sees you in the present. Now, imagine you moved at 1000 miles an hour, to the end of the field. He would still see you in the end zone, when in reality you've moved all the way across the field to the endzone... he wouldn't even see you there, until 1000 units of time had passed by... meaning that all that while, you've been in the future, while he's been sitting here looking at the version of you represented by the lagging speed of light. It's a very simple concept, come on. Break the light barrier, you travel through time.

If it's possible, I'd go back 30 seconds and try and reclaim the time it took me to read this post.
yes, some of those "stars" don't even exist anymore, that's true. and time travel is possible, too. we're just not enough advanced in technology yet, that's about it. 100 years ago, people couldnt walk on the moon, did that mean that the moon didnt exist? no. just because it's not possible for us yet, doesnt mean it's pure fantasy. but that movie-ish time-traveling is rubbish though. you won't able to re-take a test you failed due to time-traveling or something like that.
