It's just deja vu, or paramnesia.

I wish it's just it.

OT: Anyone notice that science and religion never really seems to go hand in hand? I'm not saying one is better than the other. When one makes a discovery or a claim, the other seems to go all out to debunk it. What's wrong with this picture?

Anyway, this is a great topic for me. Who doesn't want to go back in time and change something? Know the future? Hell yeah. I've had talks with my friends about this very topic (usually the earlier demise of Hitler and the outcome of WWII is the starting point).

In my opinion (based on what I've read only, I am by no means an expert on this, take it with a grain of salt), time travel may be possible, but not today nor tomorrow, or even a few years from now. We simply do not have the technology to go about achieving this at the present moment. You might say it would never be possible, but technology is a great thing. For example, when computers were first invented, they used glass tubes as big as pails and PVC tubes and all other unlikely bits and pieces, and it occupied a whole room (a building even!) and it could only do very simple calculations, and look where it is now.

When this does become possible, do we go back in time as observers (for the purposes of correcting/confirming certain factoids of history or anything along those lines, keywords OBSERVE and PAST)? Do we use it to reach the deepest points in our universe? Do we use it to know the future (keywords OBSERVE and FUTURE)? Or do we go back to CHANGE something? Therein lies our dilemma. One school of thought is that we change something so much that the world we return to becomes so convoluted and far from the reality we know that exists. Several movies have cashed in on this concept, and even though those said movies are the products of very creative imaginations, there is a sense in what they are trying to express, right?

So, if, or shall i say when, time travel does become possible, there will be several uses for it, some of which plainly boggles the mind. As someone earlier said, we need to overcome several philosophical hurdles, which at this point we really cannot begin to imagine.

PS Sorry for the long post.

for time travel to be even possible.. you need to define what time is first.. then you can go about figuring out if time travel is even possible..
