I don't believe time travel is possible. I've heard this theory somewhere, don't remember where though - but it goes something like this. The only thing that exists is the present. If someone went back in time, they would essentially be going somewhere that didn't exist and then probably cease to exist themselves, dissapear basically. The future also hasn't been created yet, hence it does not exist either. In the future they haven't created working time machines, because there is no future right now. In a sense we're all time traveling, just going at this exact pace.
I think this theory is a pretty damn good one. It basically fills in all the holes.

Infinint, what you are talking about is absolute zero, or zero degrees kalvin. Cryogenics could be deemed time travel, but unfortunatly with todays current technology the process of freezing you would kill you as it would hae to be an instant freeze, and not something gradual.
|
Read the James Rollins book Ice Hunt, it speaks of certain animals that have the ability to withstand freezing, take frogs for instance, they have a special glucose chemical that fills their blood whenever it starts to freeze outside. This glucose solution is made by a certain gene. If this gene could be put into humans, then theoretically, freezing someone would work. Glucose keeps things from dying when they are frozen by breaking the ice crystals that form during freezing into much smaller pieces that are harmless.

Does any one have an idea of the what the world will be in the year 3000?
|
History repeats itself, so lets look at that.
The year 1000 - A little after the fall of the Roman Empire, just before the Middle Ages.
The year 2000 - Well, I think you know.
Heh. That's one unfathomably large amount of technilogical advancments.
It's impossible to even try to think of what they'll have in a thousand years, just as it was for the Romans to think of the things we have today...
From 2000-3000 may not seem like long numerically, but if everyone gave birth to their children at age 30, that's 33 generations.
Or, your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren.
And even if people miraculously gave birth at age 100, the earliest of your descendants to see the year 3k would be your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren, give or take a generation depending on your age now.

Seriously though I can't beleive there are so many intelligent views on this board. This was truly interesting to read through. I beleive in the theory of timetravel and many a time as someone mentioned earlier have thought, what if you went back in time and killed, not yourself, but your parents. Would the same effect be had? That you would change your mind or something would prevent you? If they were dead, you would not be born to go back and kill them. Have any of you ever seen the episode of the Twilight zone where a few gentlemen are debating time travel inside of a lobby, and the one man thinks time travel is useless, you couldn't change the past. Then while leaving he sees the butler and goes back in time. He doesn't know however that he wen't back until he asks someone the date. He finds out he's right in time for Lincoln's Assasination and is determined to stop it, but is arrested and no one will beleive him. Lincoln is shot, and he realizes it was true, you can't change the past.
