It's a commonly held belief that time is a human construct meant to regulate the occurence of events. Taking this into account, I would like to know how anyone believes time travel is possible. Do you believe that each moment is suspended in a panel and happening over and over in its own little pocket of existence, making it a real destination that can be visited? That seems to me like the only plausible explanation for time travel. What are your thoughts?
-
*Precision of language in that first sentence. It's not a belief that time is a human construct. It's a fact.
-
I don't believe reverse or forward time travel is possible. But distorting of the speed you move forward in time is possible.
For the panel theory I prefer the theory that everything is a 4d object.
Here is an example with a SIMPLE 1d world represented as 2d because time exists.
The state of the world at any point in time can be calculated exactly, there are no sudden drops where the 1d motion teleports where at one point it 1 and an infinitely small fraction later it is 0 with no points inbetween. -
I watched a program a while ago where some professor said we would have to travel faster than the speed of light.
-
Travelling faster then speed of light is theoretical and if time travel existed and the timeline has some way of being constant we would know by now.

That's a very intelligent response, Trickster. Thank you.
