[QUOTE="Ssider, post: 74527, member: 4393"] Right now we are finally getting to the point where we can experiment with non locality, which has implications for time travel. While I am not qualified to take a position on this, certain experiments indicate that, in some cases, some things travel backwards in relative time. There are other implications of the experiments other than retrocausality and it is possible the experiments are flawed to begin with but "can't" is (at least now) not the best word to use when describing time travel, or at least the certainty that effects always follow cause. However, one thing that I believe makes "Back to the Future" style time travel highly unlikely is conservation of matter and energy. For example, even though you were only born perhaps 20 or 30 years ago all of the atoms that make up you were here (basically) forever. Matter and energy are always conserved, so if the time traveler goes back in time even before his birth then we have to explain how the extra matter shows up in the universe at that time. Science usually makes even the best sci-fi look sad by comparison. So, while we may not be able to realize physical time travel we may be able to achieve a certain influence over the past or at least over random variables in the past. [/QUOTE]
