Time Travel

[devonin]

I think you've just got an inaccurate conception of what "time" is. I think you'll find that in physics, it -is- a physical phenomena, measurable. "The sun rising and setting" isn't a physical phenomena, it's the natural rotation of the earth in orbit around the sun bringing it in and out of view from our perspective.

Time is the context for understanding all of these phenomena. Cells only "die" because we can watch them go from being alive to being not alive. The stringing together of what would otherwise be a series of still states is "time" which I feel, as it seems to many others in various scientific fields, is a dimension like any other.

These things don't all combine together into "time" these things are all understood by their changes in state through time, which exists on its own.

Thus, to bend, slow down, speed up or go backwards in time (which is impossible in my views), one would have to affect all those factors of modification and still find a way to have his own body stay intact.

Well, science seems to have proven that if you get going gast enough, the time that passes to you subjectively is not the same as the time that passes for others. It's really up to you how you want to try to adapt this belief with that information, but there you have it.
