"Time travel"

Is there ever going to be time travel? The theories about time travel being possible and impossible are about.

Some people say that you can only travel backward in time, because that has already happened but you cant travel forwards in time because it is there yet.

But then other people say it is impossible to travel backwards in time because the machine would be non existent passed the date it was built. So you can only go forward in time.

If you could travel at the speed of light, you could make time stand still. To demonstrate this I am going to use a clock. If you are looking at a clock it appears to be running in normal time, but if you move away from the clock time slows down, because the light from the clock to your eyes takes longer to get there. So if you could travel at the speed of light away from the clock the time would stay the same because the light would never reach you.

So does this mean if it were possible to travel faster than the speed of light that we could time travel, some would so no. They say this because we have been told that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. But why cant anything travel faster than the speed of light? Even light takes time to travel from a to b, this is why it takes light hundreds of years to reach us from stars. So surely if something could travel that time in less distance it would be faster than light. Just because we donít know of anything that is fast than light (at the moment) does that mean that nothing can travel faster than light? Perhaps a machine could be made to travel faster than light.

What do you think/know about these problems?

Having a new partner is a good and positive thing. It, in its self, can not be used to reduce contact. How does your ex know about the sleeping arrangements?

in my case my ex's solictor said she was going to get her son back but still to this date my son for 5 months has been placed with me by the court,from my experience the solictors act in self interest as they are running a business so will tell the client what they want to hear ,i deeply believe a fair judge will understand your situation and if you can give concrete promises or maybe even ask and except their advice it will go along way in court .i do not believe this is child motivated by your ex these maybe in fact a jealously reaction as you are moving on in your life time will tell,my suggestion is if it is brought up again give her concrete promises the children will see nothing but if she continues in her actions or they they get worse say " if that what you want to do then we do that " if she says she go to court but say it in a nice way.do not be affraid of representing yourself at family court as even though they are closed the judges are fair with you representing yourself and will guide you as much as they can so far i have had 15 court appearances and 7 judges and all have given me advice and guidance .i dont believe a judge will reduce your contact just cause someone is moving in with you and most judges have been doing this for years and will probably see it as a jeolously case and just ask you to give promises that the children wont see anything they are not sopposed to. CONTACT ORDERS are now alot more enforced as i was told by a district judge last week which if you end up in court a contact order may be drawn up that day .you can get legal advice at your local citizens advice bureau which is free give them a ring but be patient as they are very busy hope all go well for yourself but i fear if it is jealously driven it just the start i really do hope i'm wrong

I recently seperated from my wife of 8yrs, her decision as she felt she no longer loved me, but I moved out of the family home as it was best for the children, school and keeping them settled etc. I have since started sharing a house with another seperated father and when the children come to stay ( every other weekend) they stay on ready beds on my floor in my room, apart from the youngest who shares the double bed with me. I'm going to start getting him to sleep on his own ready bed from now on tho. The reason i am posting is I have a new partner, have been seeing her for 3 weeks or so and she should be moving in with me shortly. my wife has kicked off about this saying that me and my partner should not share a bed whgilst the children are sleeping in the room. She claims its not about the childrens safety, as she maintains she trusts i wouldn't allow anyone around the kids I didn't totally trust, but she claims its just inapropriate for the children to be in the same room overnite. If there is no safety issue then what is the problem? Obviously we would not indulge in sexual relations, that would be inapropriate, but she has even spoken to her lawyer ( she gets legal aid so has access to solicitor, i don't) before she brought it up with me, and her lawyer reckons its grounds for reducing access to my kids. this to me is ridiculous and totally over the top reaction.I have to have the kids in with me due to household living arrangements, but my estranged wife seems to think me and my new partner should sleep in the lounge while the kids stay? To me I think this would be more disturbing for the kids as they atre used to me being in the room over night. The children are aged 6 1/2yr boy, 5yr girl and 3 boy. Can anyone help explain the legal guidelines on such a situation, do I have any rights? Or is it her lawyer trying to get more money as it would be done on legal aid and would get paid regardless.Any help or opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John.

If you can travel near to the speed of light then peple have theorised that time will speed up for you. In the same way if you go slower then time should go slower. So I say we stop the earth moving and we'll live for every.

Anyway back to reality. My theory is that you can travel back if you can manage to split space from time. then you could move backwards. The only problem is that as soon as you re-join space and time that would be the present and so you would have erased all the years you have traveled through and so would not be able to travel back to your present.

Hopefully they invent a "Live for 3000 years pill" before I die! :-D

Probably.

I dont know. What the hell am I. The lord of knowledge? :D

Nah.. Im not sure about it. It will most certainly happen in like 3000 yeras :)

I can run the speed of light anyway..........

i don't think there'll be time travel as the human body wouldn't be able to withstand such forces acting upon it. i think

*Head starts to spin...... Falls to floor*

Force = Mass * acceleration

As you get faster, you gain mass. No matter what force is applies to accelerate you, your mass will increase to an extend that the acceleration becomes negligable. You will get closer and closer to the speed of light, but not reach it.

That's the current problem, anyhow.
