The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
It has been a topic of discussion in this forums of late, and I would like to know if it is really possible to do so. I am a student, and if you are a student too, do post your age (if you wish) and your grade while replying.

I have avery reliable freezer thanks. Just pay me £10,000 and I'll put a memo up to thaw you out whenever you want.

Wow, I didn't realise they had perfected this technology / technique. Wouldn't it suck to get 100 years into the future and find that your brain has turned to mush due to cell walls bursting during the freezin process ;)

It is possible to travel forwards in time. Simply cryogenically freeze yourself now, with instructions to be thawed out in the required year. When you are thawed out in, say, 100 years time your body will still seem the age that it is now (2004), so from your point of view you will have traveled forward in time. From everyone else's, you'll be stuck in an ice cube for 100 years....
Man, I love this. It's like you're all arguing about whether it's possible and the paradoxes it would creat, and 99.9% of you are getting all your proven theories from episodes of Star Trek and the like...

It has not been proven impossible to travel faster than light. It's only been proved impossible to break the speed of light barrier.
Theoretically, if something were to come into existence already travelling faster than light, there's no reason why it should not continue to do so.

Yes, but some of it is very confusing.

Should be milli-seconds, isn't it?

Yes, it is true that one can travel thorugh time. One thing to be noted here is that the travel is only relative.
According to Einstein, speed, velocity, direction, motion and even time are not absolute physical quantities but relative quantities thta can only be measure in comparison with another object. Now, what does he say in relativity is that, as the speed of a body increases, the speed of time decreases for the body in comparison to, say Earth. Consider that the body is you, and if you happened to travel by a super-sonic aircraft at-least once, then you are probabaly 0.002 mili-seconds in future. Putting it another way, you are 0.002 mili-seconds younger than a person who was born on the same time (with no difference, not even a nano-second) as you.
So you see, time-travelling is actualy possible and it is not a fantasy. Although, time travel, as we imagine it is not at all possible - at least for now. You can not go into the future like 2500 a.d. or something like that and then return back to 2004. But it is possible to go to 2500 a.d. though, that is by increasing your speed, like 99% or 99.99% or 99.99999% of light. Onething to be noted here is that, time will only RELATIVELY become slow for you. Even the messages that are sent and recieved through the nervous system would be slowed down - every bio-chemi-physical proccess would slow down and thus you will feel that time is going at the same pace as ever before, but if you would look outside your spaceship (you would probabaly travelling in space, if you want to reach speeds of 99% that of light), you will see stars being created and new galaxies being formed at an ultra-fast rate.
Summing it up, you are able to venture the future by keeping yourself younger compared to the world. But you would not be able to travel back to the past of then, (the present)
In the essence of this post, I want to say that time-travelling (or atleast slowing down time) to venture the future is possible, but you cannot go to past and none of the current theories tell you of a way so that you may go into past, (except the Relativity which tells you that by accelarting to a velocity greater than that of light you can travel into past - but here again it would only be relative. That is your age would increase rapidly in comparison to the earth.).
This question would be better understood by consulting books and articles.
