The idea of time travel is a fallacy of linear thought. Time isn't linear, because the only thing that actually exists is NOW. The future hasn't happened yet, the past is done with (and once something has happened, its GONE baby!). So time is more like a single point traveling through something. Then again, maybe it doesn't even have to travel. Maybe time travels through IT. Either way, nothing else exists but the moment.

Even if you could go back in time, you couldn't change anything. Again, it would've already happened, thus getting rid of the reason that you would've gone back in the first place, meaning you would never have gone back, meaning that it wasn't changed. Rather chicken-and-the-egg-ish, isn't it?

Time
What is time?
Thats what many scientist asked themself.

It's kinda hard to explain,but i'll keep it simple;
Time contains 3 part:past,present and future,what i believe is there would be no future without the past and there would be no past without the future.
The present(now) wouldn't have a purpose if there was no future or past.

So both past and future do/still exist to maintain eachother.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I think the major point of time travel (and why some scientists are obessed with) is to change the past so it would change the present and the future.
The real question is, can we change the past?

for example;If a time traveler goes back in time and kill his grandfather (before time travelers is born),does that mean the time traveler will just dissapear when he gets back in his own time or nothing will change and creates two dimensions?
