    There sure is.

    Sit and wait.

    Unfortunately, this method only works for travelling forward in time.

    Back in time? In theory? Yes. In practice? Not unless you've access to a convenient blackhole or two that you can somehow harness for energy, a while hole, a way to make light travel in a circle or something of that nature.

    Also, consider the spectator paradox - if people could go back in time, there would be a whole number of events which they would likely want to witness, the Crucifixion of Jesus (did he exist), the assassination of Kennedy and so forth. So, if time travel technology were possible, we would expect there to be countless people from the future, attending these events. There wouldn't just be a gunman on the grassy knoll, but 10 million time travelling dudes from the future. This is not the case. Hence, time travel must not be possible afterall (or if it is, there must be restrictions such as the inability to travel back past the first time at which the time machine was activated).

    Time travel does exist but only by way of out of body time travel. Think about it, if we could physically time travel, someone could go into the past and keep you from being born or cause alot of problems in your life. Life whether people know it or not is a game played by spirits/immortal energy beings, just like any game there are rules, physical time travel is just not permitted.

    Time travel IS possible. Visit the link for more info.

    Here is an excerpt from the linked article:

    "Time travel is possible. For example, an object traveling at high speeds ages more slowly than a stationary object. This means that if you were to travel into outer space and return, moving close to light speed, you could travel thousands of years into the Earth's future."

    Yes, there is. This strange man in a ratty fedora gave me a special mushroom once. I didn't want to take it as I had been warned that such things weren't safe by my sex partner of the time, Shirley the Non-rutabaga. I did, though, and soon I found myself coasting through space and time. Eventually, I took a left turn at Albuquerque and wound up sailing gently up your mother's butt when she was much younger and hotter. Through her rectal walls I saw you conceived, and knew then that my destiny would be to wait until you were old enough to hear the truth. Time travel is possible: If you were up your mom's butt you'd know.

    Sure it does, theoretically speaking. Whether or not it's practical to humans is another matter. Black holes have a gravitational pull that sucks everything in....all matter, and light as well. The resulting density is enough to actually make a 'hole' in the fabric of space/time. Whether this actually leads to other dimensions or other times, most likely we'll never know. But the evidence is there that there may be a hole in time itself, which would suggest the possibility of going through it.

    Theoretically, its possible, but will probably never happen. And if it should, it would have to be tightly restricted to where people could only observe and not make changes to history. And that's where the time travel paradox comes in. If you went back and made a change in history, perhaps your parents wouldn't have met and you wouldn't have been born. Therefore, how could you change history?

    According to General Relativity, time slows as you approach the speed of light. At the speed of light, time stops. Above the speed of light, time flows backward in relation to our frame of reference. So if you could find a way to go faster than lightspeed, you could travel to the past.

    If there were a way to travel some one would have came back already. theoretically the future would have happened already.

    Einstein said that you could see the future if you could see around the world to your self. if you figure it out give me a call.

    Is it too much of a smart (*&@#$ answer to say that you are traveling through time right now?

    Wow, This is a good one, I would love to see the answers for this. Mathematically speaking not yet, Philosophically yes, realistically no. I would go into more detail, but your time is precious and I have to get back to K-pax..lol Jb
