    Also lol at thinking I thought you meant time travel was being made. That's fucking hilarious.

    We have zero verifiable physical knowledge of the mechanics or dynamics of any single piece of these "time travel theories". Literally 100% of everything anyone has ever said about wormholes, EVER, EVER, EVER, in the cumulative history of humanity has been inferred speculation. Calling it an educated guess would even be too much. We have never even come close to THINKING we have experimental verification of the EXISTENCE of wormholes.

    I probably should have clarified my point more. My bad.

    If time travel were to ever be possible, ever, wouldn't it already exist to where they could come back to our time?

    Can't interfere and skew the timeline.

    So you're saying there's a chance

    Outside of wormholes, any other type of time travel would be forward-only.

    This type of time travel doesn't technically violate any law of physics, it just isn't as reasonable to approach probably ever.

    Astronauts time travel each time they go into orbit.

    If we could eventually get enough force out of interactions in the quantum vacuum and fold 'dat spaces ass and shit, it wouldn't actually be the same as going at relativistic speeds so you'd only time travel at similar rates as what astronauts experience going into orbit.

    We can already travel forward in time. Just at the normal speed of time.

    Ways people have time traveled in movies:

    Wormholes.
    Blackholes.
    Slingshotting around the sun really fast..
    88mph in a delorian.
    Dude in a police box shows up and claims he's a doctor.
    Spill some energy drink in a hottub.
    Use of magic.

    Stephen Hawking and a few others have commented on time travel a bit. Reverse time travel may be impossible due to our entire existence/causality being just a result of this forward time vector. The existence of paradoxes suggests they may be right (if you could build a time machine and went back, could you then kill yourself, negating your ability to go back and kill yourself...).

    Forward time travel is pretty easy, just accelerate towards the speed of light. Even at our current technology we could slowly accelerate towards close to the speed of light (never getting there), and the rest of the universe would start aging much much much faster than us the closer we got to the speed of light.

    No we couldn't. Not realistically. Not with the current rocket fuel and cost of production / size restrictions. Hypothetically? Yes. Provided you had a ship the size of a country or so to accommodate the fuel needed to accelerate for long enough to get to even .9c. Also would never get anywhere near in human lifespan at the acceleration forces a human body can take.

    The fastest a manned spacecraft has ever gone is 3.7 x 10^-5 c. The dv/dt needed to get to to ~.9c that a human could take would require a ridiculous burn time and fuel quantity that I am not calculating on my phone.

I mean, we're traveling at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour-- we don't feel it because science, but it's there. Similarly, I don't think of a time machine as going to a fixed point in absolute terms-- it's traveling relative to the Earth (which is relative to the solar system, which is relative to the etc....), so it's time traveling would be similarly relative to the Earth. It's not going to "feel" that shift in absolute space; it's going to remain relative to its inertia-ball.
    So what a Time Travel Machine needs is basically a Variable Gravity Lock System.
