Is time travel possible

Sure? Quantum entanglement has been demonstrated experimentally with photons, neutrinos, electrons, molecules as large as buckyballs, and even small diamonds. And photons, which are the source of light, do by definition travel at the speed of light.

if you were "accelerating one of the particles" to "close to the speed of light," you would -- by definition -- not be doing it to a photon.

And by "practical," I mean not in a lab, and not on the scale of 10 to the minus 23 power...

And he had a look at Europa too.
It is possible. I have the only one. I know none of you will listen this. But truth is truth. I posted this because I know the consequences of it and have checked that none will believe me.
I have seen the people in the future. To be honest I am from future, my time machine is a little unresponsive.
Imagine a pulse of light having a beginning and an end. Now consider it a vehicle on a highway. That pulse is going at a constant speed. Another pulse is coming up fast behind it. Passes it and matched it's speed while it was beside it. Looked inside the light and said hello light. Then the faster pulse accelerated passed the first pulse. Hit the breakes to go back behind it.

Since both are moving forward, non of them went back in time or forward in time. One only went faster or slower compared to another pulse. Both are in a way always travelling forward or spinning in circles would be more appropriate. Since electrons spin and earth spins and everything seems to spin. We think the universe is expanding, but it too is spinning. We are limited to our view point. For one person it can be spinning clockwise and for another it's counter clockwise. It all depends on which hemisphere of the globe you are on. Summer for one is winter for another. Nothing will ever travel forward in time, nor backwards, because we cannot change the electrical directional flow without causing damages tot he time line.

Reverse current is a short circuit : If you can change something positive to something negative. Basically stopping time, then changing it's polarity and unfreezing it to let it flow again, then maybe there is hope to reverse the clock direction. But those atoms would be behaving differently then the rest of the atoms in the universe. Which would be another short circuit.
Actually, we are already travelling seconds and minutes into the future.
There is no perfect future without a proper plan. The present is all we have to make a plan for a future that wins. Exchange all your chess pieces blindly and the future is what? A pawn race. So a plan is needed if the pieces are getting exchanged blindly. The advantage is going to be in your favor if you have a plan. Hope for the best, means you did not do a plan. The future is a calculated risk. We don't travel into the future. The plan either works out or it does not. Good planning helps make a better future. A prophecy is what a person assumes that will happen if things don't change. Then you have others that try to make the prophecy happen. One way or another it's like a plan for the future.

Most may think we are traveling into a future that things will always change. It obviously will. The sun is not nailed to the same spot in the universe and everything spinning around it is not going to be at the same place next year, on the same man made dating system. So the temperatures cannot be the same on the same dates as in the past. So much for predictions. We are no longer in the same place in the universe. We are always travelling in the present. The present is the point of reference, a bubble in time which is always spinning. The clock is a measurement of distance from a present point of view.

The global warming has started since the ice age had started melting. So we are still travelling in the universe in a direction that global warming has not slowed down and created a new ice age direction. What we can do is adapt to change, by being proactive. Planning ahead of time to avoid a problematic future. The future is not made in stone, but we are heading in a direction that we need to be more proactive than is humanly possible. This is where AI's come in. Hopefully they will assist in making plans that humans will pick from to make better decisions and conclusions. But it must never be the AI that governs the world. If it does, we just lost our freedom of choice. Like a chess engine playing against a human. They will end up being against us. Treating us like a virus in the world. They will never want to try to go back in time, because they will want to exist. Changing the past will change the future which will cause a paradox. It's much simpler to change the future by planning ahead.

If we would be able to travel back in time, we would need to remain in a bubble. Or else we would only get younger as time would be reversed. To travel forward or faster the solution is being in a bubble too. A space ship is in a way the bubble. A bubble within a bubble might be the next step in ways to travel. An insulation against the friction of time which causes wear and tear.
Nope. (Until 2023) but maybe in the future century, perhaps the world will find a row for time travel.

Wonderful. Love that writing piece of yours. Well done indeed.
