Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia have discovered that two photons travelling through time can interact. In the simulation a photon stuck in a closed timelike curve (illustrated) through a wormhole was found to be capable of interacting with one travelling through regular space-time

Wormholes are theoretical tunnels that create shortcuts in space-time. A study in May from Dr Luke Butcher at Cambridge University argued that if a thin wormhole stayed open long enough, people could send messages through time using pulses of light, or photons

It will become a reality, but not until AD 2634. I remember it well: that’s the year the Mariners finally won the World Series.

I’m guessing that confusing a Black Hole for a Worm Hole would not be a pleasant experience.

If it were true, tourists from the future would be visiting. Then again perhaps there is no future.

I would do two things immediately. Go back in time and marry Virginia Clinton Kelley, and raise Bill as a conservative Republican.

I would next go back and introduce Frank Marshall Davis to a nice young woman that ISN'T Stanley Ann Dunham. Then we'd know for sure.

If Al Gore hasn’t claimed he invented it yet, then it’s not possible to time travel.

No, they don’t move through time. So the conclusion is NO.

if time travel was possible, there would be people from the future at each and every critical event in history. and they would be dressed funny and speak in funny languages. and we’d all know about them.

I received a phone call from my future self. He warned me about everything that is happening now. I called him a nut and hung up on myself.

“wormholes” do not exist. They are not even theoretical. They are science fiction.

I have a time machine, but in only travels into the future at a rate of 1 second per second.

If time travel were EVER possible, we’d know it by now.

It would have been a part of life since the day we were born.

It can and will NEVER be possible.
