    No I don't think time travel is possible. Here is why I think this is so without getting to "scientific" about it. The fastest speed ever measured in the universe is that of the...read more

    One needs to be specific what time-travel is. Time travel is not merely moving forward in time at the same rate as the rest of the universe. Time travel is defined as the proces...read more
