Time is an interesting subject, although i think we have forgotten time is man made. The only reason we have "days" day and night, is that the earth orbits the sun.
Technically, i no the Sun does not orbit Earth, the Sun and all the planets are orbiting around the center of mass of the solar system.
But you get my point, seconds, minuets, hours, days, where created by man for our very own convenience and everyday lives, but in actual fact we are in only one constant that is now. No tomorrow no yesterday only the ever expansion of the universe.
So how does that define us? i guess the statement "you are old as old as you feel hold some weight"
I look at time as tool for measuring, time was invented by man as a means of measurement and nothing more. When did time gain magical powers?.
Time is a very handy tool, but people have to remember, MATH IS NOT REALITY!. Math is a tool like a mile or liter etc. Time is in the same category as all other measurements, they don’t exert a force on the physical world.
so with this being said, does this make time travel impossible? as i see lately the idea seems to be gaining traction.
i am not inserting a truth claim here, this is just my personal opinion, i just want to see what people think....
I assume you mean travel backwards? Traveling forwards you can not help but do.
I think you need to define time more precisely before it is even meaningful to begin to explore whether what you define as time can be made to behave in such a way that you would perceive it as running backwards.
