do you believe there is such a thing as a time machine? i believe that there is not one, but rather a parallel universe traveling machine. think about it, if there is one, the future will not exist, since there was not any references to the past. i am no expert in the fourth dimension or about time traveling, therefore i will not offer advice about the how-to's in time traveling. i am just offering my theory about time machines. thank you.

Do you think the World of Mario Bros. Could be real? Heck, while we are being highly speculative and all, maybe we are all just like in a tiny particle. Like our universe is an atom in some other creatures earlobe. hehehe.... Saracasm aside... what's your point? It's a useless line of conversation as it is all speculation anyway.

Time Travel? I don't think it's possible in any sense. Let's say someone did invent time travel far in the future. Don't you think we would have had someone come back to our time? All of the theories of time travel are pure speculation. As soon as the theorists run into a problem, they just think of a new possiblity of the structure of time and the universe.I could be a scientist if i could just make up stuff too.

I've always been curious - what kind of evidence would it take to substantiate a report of time travel from the future to the present? Did you guys hear about that woman born in the 16th century (I think) who's name was "Diot Coke"? Could that be a subtle SOS from a stranded time traveler? If so, does that mean the age of time travel is nearly upon us, on the assumption that Diet Coke is as popular in the age of time travel as it is now? Or am I just blowing smoke out of my ass? (can't both be true? )

Heard a funny story, guy was arrested for insider trading on the stock exchange. He claims it wasn't insider trading, but that he was from the future so already knew the results. He claimed that time travel was possible in the near future and he was going back to give himself a better future. Court didn't see it that way and I believe hes now locked away. There were some claims that the information he could get wouldn't have been enough to make 100% correct purchases as he did, or that he placed bids against companies he wasn't even involved with. Probably just an urban legend, but kinda amusing

Read the book The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking. He has a whole chapter on time travel. Can't really explain what he says because it is pretty complicated. But, he says that particles are timetraveling all the time, just large objects, like humans, cannot time travel.

about the story, there is a loop hole since if the future guy know the results of the stock, and he comes back and tell the guy in the present, then the future guy won't exist, since the present guy is in jail. lol.
