Assuming that Dimensional travel were possible...
I have a problem with time travel.

Not so much with the theory or even the actuallity of the possibility, but the problems mathematically.

To put it in laymen's terms...

Even if we perfected the tool or theory to TRY to jump time, how could you NAVIGATE the universe as it was at that time you were travelling to?

What does this question mean?

Let's suppose you had a way to go 1 simple second into the future.

But the entire Universe is moving. The earth is turning, bulging, the solar system is moving throughout the galaxy.. the galaxy is moving... blah blah blah....

NOW... where precicely in space will you move if you jump that time?

Will you follow the path that was ordained by some future existence? Or might you show up in the middle of a telephone-pole because you showed up where you were in the old time and it moved while you were travelling?

My question boils down to this.... If it's even possible in theory to try. Should we?

See these two sites www.crystalinks.com & www.kryon.com.
At crystalinks, look for "z" or Zero point, and go from there. At kryon, look for the Cosmic Lattice page. Hope this may enlighten you. Peace. freep 2.

Time travel is the unfortunate result of combining two words that have real meaning into a term that has no real meaning. Time travel is impossible because travel requires a move from one real location to another real location. (note: time travel in your mind is imaginary and one does not really move outside of one's own mind. So no real travel of any kind actually takes place).

All real locations (those composed of matter/energy-m/e) exist only in the present. Because of movement, all m/e that formed locations in the past have moved and rearranged themselves to form the present locations that now exist. As I write this, all the m/e in the universe is moving and always produces what we experience as the present.

Therefore: When one travels (changes locations) one always leaves from the present and arrives in the present and one cannot travel to the past because there is no past location to which one can travel because all past locations have been rearranged and form only present locations.

There is only the present. Is the Universe really Toroidial in shape?

sd01g,
I tend to agree with you.

But with one exception. We are currently time-traveling. We are creating a past moment by moment.

For years I have used the quote, "We create reality as we wander through it."

Imagine that you work at a place down the road. Every day you get in your car and drive that road, and it is always the same with subtle changes. (maybe the red house has been painted blue, or the neighbors got a new car)... Nevertheless... the road itself is, on your consious level, unchanging.

One day you get in your car and drive around a familiar curve on the road, and you drive into a sinkhole.

Up to the point of the event (or perhaps a moment before you had to react) your "reality" was that that road would be there as it always was. If you had made the prediction that there would be a sinkhole, you'd not even have tried to drive that way in the first place. So your reality was changed instantly, and begins an entire new reality. This is just one event, but ties into time-travel by the fact that we are flowing through time.. with time.

To try to skip any time... as you said... would be "Location Travel" and reality would change altogether for you.. just like driving into the sinkhole.
