Is time travel theoretically feasible? No.

The theory of multiple universes and quantum dynamics "seems" to make sense, but since the theory is not empirically observable we must search for other means of verification. The theory fails when confronted with two obvious facts.

Science: If time/other-universe travel was possible then we would know about it. Argue as much as they want, to assume that a future time with the ability to travel through time would not reveal themselves to us is foolish. We're not discussing going back to a time where technology is non existent and where the concept of time travel would be completely foreign to the inhabitants of that era. We're talking about a society who posses the imagination to believe and the scientific theories to almost prove time travel. So, to inform us that time travel will be possible in the future would merely confirm our current assumptions. Hence, there would be no reason for future civilizations to hide their advanced technology from us.

Theology: Assuming that the God of the Bible exists and that His record of history is accurate, the existence of multiple universes and the ability to travel through time is impossible. Could there exist a universe that God didn't create? Is there a place where man didn't sin? Is it possible that in an alternate universe Jesus Christ did not come to Earth and die for the sins of mankind? Could a person accept Christ as his Saviour on one plain and not another? Biblically speaking, no.

There are two possibilities that exist. If we were able to travel through time (not parallel, differing universes) and merely observe that past/future time without affecting it then it may be theologically possible. Or a traveler would be able to have a limited affect on his surroundings without disrupting the basic fabric of God's predetermined plan.

Time travel is an amazing fantasy. It has provided the basis for inspirational books and movies. Unfortunately time travel is impossible and there is no such thing as parallel universes.
