I watched Sliders.

Never heard of it!

But you could try moving to these seperate wavelengths as if they were places,thus travel through time.

That's why I said "as if they were places"

If you could relate to them as different places, you could travel to them.

Yes, but a wavelength is not a place. In order to travel through time, you'd have to "tune in" into the past/future.

That statement is rather bold isn't it? (couldn't resist)
considering humans know next to nothing about time travel, how can you be so sure?

One scientist postulated that time travel is not possible and the evidence is that we don't have time-tourists visiting us from the future.

A comedian reflected on that and suggested that maybe we don't have any tourists here because the late 20th/early 21st centuries are the equivalent of Peoria, Illinois.

Those look like two statements to me.

How do you know it isn't close to existing? There could be a time machine being made in secret, in my basement... Not that there is...

It is.

I live in Neverland.

I live in Neverland.

The Peter Pan one or the Michael Jackson one?

Trance, aren't you a little old to live in Neverland?

How does a high-schooler like trance qualify for michael? Isn't he a bit too old?

I think it's colloquially referred to as Never-Never land but in the book it's Neverland.

There is, however, thisnever-never land.

I think it's only really called "never never land" in Enter Sandman by Metallica.

I always liked the idea that all events here, then, and before, are Instant. Everything that did happen, everything that is happening, and everything that will happen. It all just IS, but we experience it as "Time" for some unknown purpose. Maybe it's because we are not ready to comprehend the truth just yet. But we've actually started, lived like this, and reached our end result all in the same instant. Though instant isn't the right word, because there is no time, so things just are. Everything just IS. I'm sure there is more to it than that, but how much can we possibly comprehend about it?

Fact totum: Please see my lengthy comments near the end of the first page which explain why we do not have tons of time tourists. The only way to know is if they reveal themselves to us, then we would probably stick them in a mental institution.

If there's no time, how are things like prophecies explained?

If everything just is, how come things just aren't?

Edit: That "owned" smiley was accidently put in there, i'm not being arrogant.

Some people can tune into the other frequencies, and see what is to come.

Perhaps we're under an embargo. Or we aren't very interesting.

It could also be we DO see tourists, but if anyone does it would all just be swept under as jargon by the general public, like aliens n such.

My theory would actually support Prophecies and the like. If in truth everything just IS, then perhaps some people are more attuned to the truth and can see bigger parts of that One Moment instead of being totally limited to seeing everything as it plays out for us.

OK - who forgot to close the italics?

Dejavu happens to people with a lesser degree of Prophetic ability and don't realize it :0p. So they see other parts of the big picture but don't remember or don't realize except with that feeling like they've seen something before.

In the big picture, there is not Time. We are just experiencing it with time for some unknown reason, probably because we couldn't handle it otherwise. Just because we can't handle it or understand it, doesn't make it impossible :0).

Time is a figment of our imaginations, created so because our brain could not handle the big picture. Therefore, it exists, but only for us.

I believe dejavu is coincident.
We spend about 1/3 of our lives sleeping, and so we dream so much. It's not surprising that a few fragments of all dreams happens to look similar to what happens in real life.

feel me?

I'm too lazy to read this whole thing, but I feel like I should post something anyway. My explanation is so simple a five year old could understand it. Here goes:
_________
Time Travel is impossible. If they ever developed a time traveling machine, would it go both forward and back in time? Hopefully, otherwise whenever you used it you could never go back to the time you came from. Just further away. Also, if they did make this machine, would they use it? Of course they would, otherwise no one would believe them.
Now we have established two things: If they ever build a time machine it will go both ways in time and they will use it. Assuming that they traveled back to a time before right now, we know that time machines are never going to be invented. This is because somebody would have noticed it and told someone. It would be all over the press if people came from the future. Since people have never came from the future in a time machine, we can conclude that Time Travel will never happen on this earth.

Also... assuming that because nobody from the future has told us we'll make a time machine is because we will never make one is flawed. If I made a time machine, say, out of steel, and went back 50 years, the steel used for the machine would still be in a mine, so I wouldn't be able to get back to what was my present day... So why would I go back 50 years if I had to be stuck there? Answer: I wouldn't.
