Well we all know this has been done before. My old boss and some co-workers of mine came up with a theory that time travel was achieved in the 60s and that Jesus was the first time traveler to go back and change the past. It sure would explain a lot of things.

you guys are referring to the simple set of equations of calculating relative rate of time change for one point in space vs another using velocity, dimension, speed of light constant and/or mass as parameters.
it shows how time is relative to your particular point in space to another particular point in space

Time itself can be thought of in many different ways, the definition has changed much over the years, take a look at an OED if you have one available.
In a general sense tho', we're talking about "going" from one time to another, either in forward or reverse, and for that to be possible all events must be static. This is the same type of thing Kai was saying, no matter what quirky little equation or weird matter-manipulating concept you come up with, you'd still have to believe that every nanosecond of every timeline is fixed. Unfortunately, that'd only be your belief, not a fact.

okay you know what.. argueing about whether it's possible or not isn't even gonna do anything. when someone invents a time machine, THEN im in.

Now if a man traveled back in time, and wanted it to be known that he'd traveled back in time, then he'd be an idiot to try to use the Web to convince people. If that is the kind of intelligence we can expect in the future, we're all doomed.
In other words, the guys who have fallen for this BS have been had. I'll bet the first three takers $1000 USD on that one. We can use the mans predictions to decide who gets the cash. Any takers? (PM me.)

A LOT has happened since Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. We have found particles smaller than anything forseen in his time, and continue to find smaller and smaller quantum building blocks.
Recently, scientists were able to TELEPORT (yes, teleport) quantum matter across a substantial distance. This means, for all intents and purposes that they didn't EXIST in the space in between, traveling faster than the speed of light (which isn't supposed to be possible). A long way from true material teleportation, and even farther from time travel... but every amazing breakthrough in scientific history has a beginning.

Enjoy!
Am I defending this clown? NO. People will read into anything anyone says (look at Nostradamus) and it's quite easy to make predictions about large, disastrous occurances, provided you stay vague enough.
