Regarding time, it is said it is related to space, & that space (the universe) is expanding, i.e. growing larger. How can that be?
Others say the universe was created, so did not always exist. In that case, time also did not exist, since they are co-dependent? Was there nothingness, or only God? If God, did He exist in nothingness? How?
Why isn't there nothing now? Why is there anything?
In the TV series "Fringe" there are multiple related similar coexisting universes.

there are some many different views on space, time, religion, self, awareness, reality. I for one believe the time travel all that crazy shit is real someone at some point believed it, saw it came up with something like it and believe anything anywhere is possible.
On a crazier note if any of that was true to exist how would anyone sitting a laptop etc know someone could just figure out go back change random ass part of there life etc its like that part where every second could be a change in fate which no one would ever have a clue.
Most people could just say last night oh what if i did this blah blah and so on so who knows its an opened ended question with no answer except wackos who believe in pre determination

Yes on what Doug said above... And I would say instead of perception having "a lot to do" with one's feeling on time passing, it has EVERYTHING to do with it.
We all know Einstein was brilliant (obviously), but I'm not sure he used the best words to describe his true beliefs on Time.
Some things are possible.
Such as alien existence with the hundreds and thousands of new galaxies and planets they find over the years.
Such as life after death.
But in a case like this, we have to be realistic.
This is time........ |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It simply moves forward
Great stuff though Illini it's always fun to discuss & debate things that are deep
There is nothing in quantum physics that negates the possibility of time travel. You simply cannot say "We will never travel time." or "We will never be able to travel faster than light.". If we make it past our developmental stage and shuck the milestones around our neck (religion being one) we will be able to do things we can't even envision right now.
Why haven't we seen time travellers? Why would we? For us, our past has already happened and can't be altered. Anyone travelling back would create a new reality, one that doesn't involve us.

time is all how you perceive it IMO and how much you are looking forward to something, makes time go slower/faster.
I remember when I was in middle school and I went to school for the day and I was in trouble with my parents and I knew I would get yelled at when I got home...the day went super fast. Then when I wanted to do something after school with my friends, the day dragged more than ever..
I think anxiety and how you perceive time factors in to "time"

This is actually the gist of the Cosmological Argument for a creator (GOD).
For centuries scientists thought that the universe always existed, but now the
consensus view is that the universe had a beginning.
Cosmological Argument:
1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause
2. The Universe began to exist
3. Therefore, the universe had a cause
Regardless of any future advancements, it's hard to get around the infinite mass thing. That means upon acheiving light speed, one would contain every bit of matter in the universe and it would require more than an infinite amount of propulsion to increase speed in order to go supraluminal.
1. The Earth's resources will run out well before then. Thus the reason Space exploration is that much more important. We will have to find another planet eventually if mankind is to survive.
When those resources are gone, so go any advancements in Science.
2. I don't personally believe we will ever be able to travel space at the speed of light. EVEN IF we do eventually learn to move/travel at such a great speed, we wouldn't be able to use it in space.
If you start at Point A and set to light speed to reach Point B, you will never get there because you're going to hit something inbetween.
So to make it even that much more impossible, if we come up with light speed, we then have to better that by figuring a way to maneuver at such a speed.
Unless we find a planet reasonably close which has the resources to replace those that will eventually be sucked dry from the middle of the Earth and leave us basically an empty core, then we are doomed...

“Rail travel at high speed is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” — Dr Dionysys Larder (1793-1859), professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, University College London.

You guys are basing your opinion on what we know now. What do you think we'll know in a few thousand years? We went from flying the first airplane to flying to the moon in 60 years. What we will be capable of doing in a few thousand will be beyond our comprehension.
