Does Time Travel Affect Aging?

[asesena]

Let's assume time travel is possible and we are travelling. We jumped to a TARDIS sort of machine in August 26, 2017 and go to August 26, 2000 then lived there for 4 years until August 26, 2004. So when we come back to August 26, 2017 would we be 4 years older or be the same age we were before travelling?

I know it is kind of a lame question but that'd be amazing if you answered this.Thank you already [emoji68]‍[emoji436][emoji177]

I believe time travel is one of the forbidden topics here in our science forums. You might get some answers if you posted it in our sci-fi and fantasy forum.

Although some kind of time travel mechanisms are frequently discussed on popular science platforms or tv-shows, and even some serious scientists like Hawking contributed here, it is in the end not answerable. "If <not observed> Then <anything>" is a pattern which fails to have a basis, and so <anything> could be literally anything and nobody could put evidence on any point of view. That's why we don't discuss it - the lack of data and models.
