Is time travel possible

You can slow down time by approaching the speed of light. 1 year for you could be 10 years for the planet if you accelerate with your movement relative to the earth.
Certainly an amazing thing if it is possible. What a thought provoking notion that one could watch ones self in some other moment in our lives and the emotion that may cause the individual in question, i mean one may be tempted to intervene about some dreadful personal life decision etc or someone elses.
I dont think i could handle such power, it would be like when the fictional character Scrooge gets taken back to view his dreadful decisions in life, yet cannot alter them.
Time does not travel. The future has no time. It's light that travels, not time. The light is a wave that ripples passed us. It's the after effects of an explosion. Light travels like a rain drop that travels and creates a wave when it hits something.
Light would need to evaporate to return back to where it came from, but no two snowflakes are the same. So when we will travel back in time we will no longer be the same. A new element would be added to the past. Play crazyhouse and discover what happens when new material is added into a position.

The only way to go back or forward in time is to visualize it. Sounds like a chess game.
It must be. That's how Frank R Paul did that pic of Jupiter close up way back in 1928!

Yes, but only for particles which reside withing a time machine. It's based on Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and quantum physics.

First you make two pieces to work together, by using quantum entanglement. Any change in one piece immediately reflects in the other one, regardless of how far they are apart. This is proven. But then if you accelerate one of the particles in circles close to the speed of light, while the other particle remains inert, this will form a time gap between them. That should actually allow a "delayed entanglement effect". So the entanglement effect would not be immediate anymore, as the other particle has traveled in time. And with enough particles, this mechanism can be used to communicate across time.

A practical usage of that would be to submit the lottery number back in time, then make the winning bet and become millionaire. I guess the Illuminati are already doing that.

In short, it requires way too much energy to be practical.
