By bending beams of light providing a planar paradox involving precise geometric equations and powered by the force of a quasar and blah *brain freeze*

Anythings' possible. I subscribe to a multiuniver theory of infinte dimensions each separated by numerous variables possibly by as little as a mere fraction. Do I think we'll be able to accomplish time travel? Many, and by many I mean reputed experts in the feild dismiss it. Some however are not so dismissive. One variable that would most probably have to be included is the concept of manipulating light, antimatter, and antitime. Yes folks...does it exist? Antitime that is. We must realize that we don't even know a fraction of what's out there. Common sense. Personally I'm more exited of where we'll be in the next 50 years removing politics, red tape, etc... in terms of space exploration. We've already determined that the elements, you know those one's listed on the periodic chart that you had to learn against your will in college chemistry including all possible combinations of them make up less then a fraction of a percent of matter comprising most "space" in theory. What gives? Hmm. If time travel is possible, then as mentioned by someone given our current rate of technological advancement (which may seem rapid by the worlds standards but it's really moving at a snail's pace in the grand scheme of things - but still to give humanity credit) we'd have to be considerably advanced in space travel before time travel even becomes a thought. Although given human nature I doubt that will hold up as already indicated in this thread - not a bad thing - but a great thing as imagination is a prerequisite. First we'll need the ability to travel faster then light - which really, I belive to be extremely possible - faster not so sure, the speed of light itself..definetly. Traverse the stars, and given the size and nature of the universe coupled with the fact that it's expanding the probability of life outside us is extremely likely. We need to see time as a variable comprising of three components...past - this can never be retrieved in my opinion unless through interdimensional weaving, present, and future (which for all intents and purposes doesn't exist yet). Only if antitime exists will time travel be possible. I haven't kept up with the current literature to know the present status or feelings on that one.
