    Re: time travel

    I have always found Time Travel fascinating, I've seen almost every movie on the subject but to me it's only science fiction and not possible. If it was ever to become possible it would be a one way trip to the future. Traveling to the past can not be done. The past is done, dead, unobtainable. You can't bring back what has already been. There has been experiments that showed how time has sped up or slowed down in certain circumstances which shows time may be manipulated but the movement has always been forward. Whether time is going fast or going slow it is going one way, forward never backwards.

    I'm inclined to concurr that the possibility of physically navigating our cumbersome biology through time does not seem highly probable, yet it is fascinating to me that the brain is capable of elaborate conceptualizations in this regard.

    What is the purpose of such imaginative ability?

    That we are able to contemplate several futures before we decide upon a course of action, and in reviewing our past, likewise contemplate several alternative 'pasts' based upon the knowledge gained by our present course of action, is an ability of marvellous kind.

    Choices, of past, present and the potential future.

    From working graveyard shift for pushing six years now, I have a renewed appreciation for the properties of 'time' and our journey in relation to same. Some nights flow like rippling water, while others sap one's energy like breaking trail through knee-deep snow.

    It's all 'time', yet it is ever a unique experiencing thereof, IMO.

    Thank you for your thoughts on the topic.
