Yeah, it would be the only car in the car park where you couldn't open the door if someone was parked next to you because of the stupid wing door design.:willy_nilly:
time travel.....possible?

I think it's been proven that sub-light travel at high speed like orbiting the Earth in the space station slows down your aging as compared to those that are relatively stationary. However the amount is miniscule.
There is also the concept of viewing time as a ribbon that folds back and forth with the possibility of crossing over a barrier between one time and another, but this is just a theory. If you want to read a novel built on the concept read Crichton's Timeline or see the movie!

Personally I don't think it's the sub-light travel so much as it is gravity or rather lack of.

In the theory of relativity, regarding relative time, I believe speed, not gravity is what changes time. See this link.
"One of Einstein's strengths was that he's someone who was comfortable thinking outside the box. Einstein concluded that since they measured the speed of light to be the same in all frames of reference, but the distance the light traveled differed between observers moving at different speeds, and since distance is speed multiplied by time, then Einstein concluded that different observers must see time differently. That the speed that one progressed through time varied with your frame of reference and relative motion to the object you are observing. Einstein theorized, and it was later proven, that good clocks will not always agree in what time it is because they move through time at different speeds."

There is a way to go forward in time. It's called Time Dilation but there isn't and probably will never be a way to go backwards in time.

Well, I can at least tell you how you would STOP time
Ok.
Lets say you walk to the local store (which is 2 miles away) in 1 hour.
Doing the equation, Speed = 2 miles (distance) / 1 hour (time)
We can assume that you walked at an average of 2 mph which got you somewhere in 2 hours.
Now.
Lets say, in this hypothetical statement, that you stop time and walk to the local store (which is 2 miles away) at a comfortable pace in the stopped time (time isn't going, you don't have to worry about it) and reach the store, and resume time. You just traveled in 0.
Doing the equation, Speed = 2 miles (distance) / 0 (time)
You walked at a constant infinite speed, as 0 will go into infinity trying to multiply into that 2.
As to how we're going to move at infinite MPH, I don't have a clue

My understanding is there is no going backwards only forwards. As you travel close to the speed of light, time will be slower to you as compared to those on Earth. When you come back, relatively to you the Earth bound people would have zoomed forward.

This is not exact, just to give you the general idea-
You go fly around the universe at or near the speed of light for a couple of years, you come back 2 years older, relative to you on earth 50 years have past. For you, time has slowed down relative to the Earth, although to you time feels normal and on Earth time felt normal.

This is what i understand, it was proven a little while ago, an astronaught with synchronised timing came back to earth after a long distance, it showed his clock was behind in time compared to the other timed with it. So in reality the theory goes that if you go far out enough in orbit from earth but still going with the orbit one year would have past for you but 10 for those on planet earth by the time you get back thus giving the effect of going into the future when really time has slowed for the astronaught.
not quite sure how far out you have to go but its light years i guess.
