What do you think? And why?
I think travelling forward in time is possible, because it's really pretty simple... Enter cryogenic stasis and leave a note for someone to hit defrost in however many years forward you want to go.
If time travel backwards were possible, by the time you did it, you wouldn't know that.
What I mean is, the knowledge of travelling backwards through time would be lost as well as all the knowledge you had gained after the point in which you returned, so when you got to the point in the past that you wanted to be, you would be in the same state of mind and matter as you were at that point. If you went back to 1 year after you were born, for instance, you would think like an infant, and act like one, because you would BE one. Does that make sense?
Wonder what point of view you would take on if you went back to 9 months before you were born... would you be the sperm or the egg?
Paradoxes are fun to try and understand.
