Time Travel...Unlikely...And Not For The Obvious Reasons..

[PoliticalChic]

What if I break the light barrier, get to your house and steal your cookies, then get out again before you see me?....When was I "there"?

But....if you went at night, at greater than the speed of light.....would you're headlights work??

Where is the consideration for the safety of others, man???

I was thinking about the possibility of time travel...various theories etc... and what never sems to be brought into the conversation is that the universe is not only expanding..it's expansion is accelerating. That being the case...there is no reliable method to know where when is. Even if there are "worm holes" and assuming even if fleeting their "location" is stable even for an instant that location must change very rapidly as the universe expands.

Also one must consider gravitational flex of the earth ... Your time traveller may find him or herself imbedded in rock as he or she "re-appears" on earth.

I once made instant coffee in the microwave and went back in time.
