As noted in the keywords,
the grandfather paradox has always relegated the possibility of time travel to the genre of science fiction. The premise of the grandfather paradox seemed to have settled the question of time travel with the sceanrio in which someone goes back in time and kills his grandfather, which ultimately renders him non-existent and if so then he wouldn't be around to kill his grandfather which would then have his grandfather survive, securing the time traveler's existence as descendant, and so going back in time to kill his grandfather.....
And that speaks for any attempts at time travel as means to changing history. So, you might as well conjure up some other scenario for the failure of Obama-Don't-Care.

I'd be more impressed with this conclusion if the scientists in question could tell me with some degree of certainty just what a photon is.

This merely proves (if correct) that a packet with zero rest mass cannot travel faster than light. That’s has been known from the math behind special relativity for a long time.

This can’t be true. I saw the movie Peggy Sue God Married—not to mention Back to the Future. Time travel all over the place. It happened in one of Ray Bradbury’s short stories too. How many examples do I have to give?
To: lbryce
Dammit. I wanted to go back and get some cars.

“This merely proves (if correct) that a packet with zero rest mass cannot travel faster than light. Thats has been known from the math behind special relativity for a long time.”
True. And it is not true that faster than light travel necessarily equates to time travel. All of relativity is based on the idea that nothing can travel faster than light, and all of the related math flows from that premise.

Agent J: There's no such thing as time travel.
Agent O: Well, there is.
Agent J: No. There's not. Because if there were, a class-one senior agent such as myself would have been made aware of it, wouldn't he have?
Agent O: Were it not classified and way above his pay grade.
Agent J: You know what? I need a pay raise.

I didn’t know about that one. But as seen above, it’s in Men in Black too. Now the Simpsons.
The evidence just keeps piling up. I’d call it ‘settled science’ at this point.

I read about this in June 2045.

Yes, of course, but this will not put an end to the wild-eyed believers who are absolutely convinced that “time travel” is possible.
Time is the measurement of motion. (St Thomas of Aquinas. Right then, right now, right always.)
As such, there is no way to travel in it.

Fret not, there’s still Cuba. But, then again, it’s in a different time dimension too :)

Maybe they should test a faster proton. The one they picked might have been an out of shape overweight smoker.
To: lbryce
Yep. That’s what we thought in 2025, too.
To: Fantasywriter
There certainly is a “consensus”.
I believe it was one of the Halloween specials...

“The possibility of time travel was raised 10 years ago when scientists discovered superluminal or faster-than-light propagation of optical pulses”
And at the time I said that “time travel” was impossible.

IOW, light cannot travel faster than the speed of light.
