Is time travel possible? - Colin Stuart

Time travel is a staple of science fiction stories, but is it actually possible? It turns out nature does allow a way of bending time, an exciting possibility suggested by Albert Einstein when he discovered special relativity over one hundred years ago. Colin Stuart imagines where (or, when) this fascinating phenomenon, time dilation, may one day take us.

Actually, right now we are time traveling to the future at the rate of one second per second

[duyogiakohesus]

I want to travel but I don't have time....

[plet.s]

I just wanna be a kid again 😔 swear i had the best time of my life back then.

[BurakCalik]

He wastes 803 days to go 0.02 seconds in future! Clever!

The question is
If we can go to the future
How can we go back to the past
Since return by the speed of light will make us go further to the future

Watching in 2046. Earth has basically turned into a big smoking ball of shit.

Time travel becomes possible and went to the past.

People from 1970s: I want to see the world 50 years later.
Me: bruh, Why would you go to 2020?

[zenanchen]

I can time travel







But only to future and at a speed of 60 minutes per hour

I’d love to time travel to the past. Time traveling to the future however, doesn’t really interest me. I’m only 17 so it would be a little scary going in the future. I like not knowing what ill end up like. I always dreamed about going back in time and meeting my mom or dad when they were my age. My mom tells me she would be my friend if I existed when she did back then :)

Time dilation and time travel are not the same thing. Time dilation is real and that basically means that the RATE that time is experienced within a reference frame can be changed by simply traveling at a higher velocity. Time travel suggests that it's possible to instantly "jump" to any point in time in the past or future and as far as we understand it's impossible. The problem with the past and the future is that neither exists, the past has given way to the present and the future is yet to unfold.

Time travel is possible!..




See.. now you are in the future!




Your even further in the future!!



Wow! You might as well be at least 5 seconds in the future from when you started reading this comment!!

[Samueljackification]

to me this is just time dilation. not time travel.

[ACoroa]

I'm a dinosaur and I approve this message.

[ChristopherHartbooks]

Simple, clear and to the point. Enjoyable.

[mythaodang]

Ted ed:Is time travel possible?
Tony Stark:Hold my beer

[notashark]

Don't you have to go 88 mph to time travel??

[chutku]

the comment section is much more interesting than the video

[Ebolson]

I wouldn't want to go to the future for one simple reason. There is no going back

[myApexTV]

Fascinating video! Time travel is so interesting and I hope that if time travel is released to the public someday it doesn't have any bad consequences such as paradoxes.

Lets be honest, Humans shouldn't be allowed to time travel.
