Seriously makaveli, I think you got it all backwards. Here is an example:
If i were in a jet going close to the speed of light and traveled for a very long time and then landed, the people around me would be much older than they were when i left, and i would have aged normally. Because i think one of the theories was that when somebody travels at large speed time actually "speeds up" for everything around you, so everything ages faster. That's why my physics teacher said that time travel is possible, but only in the forward direction.

Dude you got that one way backwards. Philosophers are the "weirdos" that make things up based on thier opinions and thier culture to explain how things work.

Dude where the hell did you get that theory, a comic book? Prof. Stephen Hawking (the black hole expert in the wheelchair) has done much reserch on black holes. And Black holes are not a rip through the "space-time continuum", they are the remains of a (sometimes) giant dead star, collapsed by its own gravity. If you "fall" into a black hole you would not "fall" forever, you would be crushed. The gravity made by black holes is so strong not even light can escape it, that's why they are "black". Actually the only thing that can get away from a black hole is sound becasue it was recently discovered that black holes produce a sound that is so low-piched that no living being can hear it (cnn.com). another thing I learned from research (not comic books), is that if you go through a black hole feet first you will be able to feel the pain of being spagettified for a split second because your nerve impulses move at a speed just above what you would be traveling at if you were sucked into a black hole (cnn.com).
