This is an actual theory of mine and I suspect many others as well. I'm writing a lot of stuff down that supports this hypothesis.
If Augustine, and others, were/are correct and God is "outside" of time and space as WE KNOW it, then time travellers is not an incorrect description of what God, Jesus and the angels may be.
It would be one damn good way to know the future (LOL)
Ah, but COULD you time travel into what did NOT exist yet?
Or would you, like Einstein postulated, simply be displaced in time and wait for the "future to arrive" ?
A fundamental rule that governs the universe is that causes happen before effects, not the other way around. If it was the other way around, then things could make themselves impossible. Travelling in time to the past suffers from the problem of paradox, which is much like audio feedback when sound waves from the speakers enter the microphone, go into a fatal loop and progressively collide faster and faster and louder and louder. If not corrected, the sound system will destroy itself, along with your eardrums. With time travel to the past the problem becomes radiation feedback, which would cause essentially the same sort of result.
Einstein postulated that time is like a river. It flows in only one direction but at wildly different speeds in different places. His proof shows that time travel is, indeed, possible, but only into the future, and may be achieved in one of two ways: physically travelling in an area of extreme gravity or travelling close to c, the speed of light. Stephen Hawking expanded on the concept recently by calculating that a really, really big spacecraft with a huge amount of fuel could attain speeds approaching c after about six years' of acceleration. But it would begin to travel in time after only 4 years. When the ship attained .99 c, for every day on board the spaceship an entire year will have passed back on Earth. If the course of the ship was circular and the crew started its decelleration sequence after, say, three months, by the time they returned to their starting point they would have been in space for a little over 12 years but would step foot on Earth about 150 years after they left.
You can never go back, but someday you may be able to go forward. Don't hold your breath, though.
Didn't I just say that?
:P
Yes, PSac, just a little more succinctly.
Damn you and your eloquence !!
Anyone on here seen the time traveller lady with a cell phone in Charlie Chaplin's film 'The Circus'? This British film maker made this video...explains at the beginning. Skip to the 2:30 mark if you just want the movie footage.
Proof of time travel? What is she talking into?

I love the concept of time travel (Been a fan of Dr. Who since the Pertwee days) but...
The atoms in the molecules (And many of the molecules themselves) that compose our bodies were all there 500 years ago before our bodies existed and similarly will still be around 500 years from now long after our bodies have died and decomposed. They were/will be in the ground, in plants and in other animals
If we assume just for fun that the displacement of a physical object in time is somehow possible, it would either involve the reorganization of existing matter in the past or future or the creation of entirely new matter.
The former would have catastrophic results and the latter is not really time travel at all, its simply the creation of a duplicate.

The guy's had too much Bushmills. What is in her hand is a dry icepack. She's either got a dental absess or has just had a tooth extracted. She's moving her jaw because it hurts like hell.
