MERGED: Is time travel possible?

Necessity pushes you to find what's beyond what is said to be the border line.

In about 100-200 years, given that the two following conditions are met:

a) Human beings have developed spacecraft engines capable of accelerating a vessel to within 99% of the speed of light.

b) Special Relativity is correct (who's going to argue with this?)


then, forward time travel (i.e. going to the future) will definitely be possible. No temporal laws or paradoxes will be created. It's truly possible. How? Let me give you a simple example.

Someone who was comatose for 50 years, then suddenly woke up, with his memories 50 years before, still intact and vivid in his head, will feel as if he "leapt" into the future, because everything around him is 50 years more advanced now, than when he became unconscious and fell into a coma. So there is no paradox involved in a "travelling to the future" scenario.

we are all "time travelers", in the present and towards the future, as dictated by earth's rotation.
but we are not time travelers towards the past.
impossible.

he is still 50 years older just like any of us 50 years from now, only difference is his mind stopped generating new experiences, he hasn't defied any laws of nature. a "real" time travel is going 50 years into the future with your current biological age intact.
