    I have been literally wondering this for years. If you could somehow travel into the past like when they first had phones. Could you make a phone call to the future? Like literally be in the past talking to someone and on there end its like many years later than it is on your end. That would be amazing. Or perhaps an alternate universe. Call yourself but be your exact opposite self on the other line.

    No, that would mean your time travel included two times, which is beyond the idea of time travel we have.

    I don't think the number would work if you called from the past. Especially if it was a cell phone number.
    But maybe it would. I don't know.

    now that i think about it, i suspect the early phones would just ring through before you got the area code in, since phone numbers used to be much shorter...

    Actually it might be possible to time travel or at least to make a time machine some time far into the future. At least thats what some scientists are saying.

    Well not with a normal telephone. You could send a letter and say don't open till X date.

    Or you could kill your child aged grandmother. But then how would you have traveled back in time to kill her?

    It's a crazy world shadow.

    you can find a scientist that will say pretty much anything.

    i'm not necessarily saying it's impossible mind you...

    Well now that I really think about it. Cell phones need service to work and service comes from towers. No towers no service I guess. I also wonder why they make those towers to look like trees I mean its not fooling anyone.

    If you could travel and warn the world about world war 2 say? Bring back a lot of historical documents as proof.

    Would you do it?

    I wouldn't. :D

    No. I don't think so. I mean Hitler and all....

    but if you could travel back, what if you wanted to stay?
    what if you couldnt get back?
    to be in a different time would be so weird
    how would it feel for a person...? the same as any moment?
    would you even remember being you in the future the whole time?
    not necc. wanna stay at ww2 though ;)
    hmmmm

    Actually the theory is*finds article I looked up to find it* if you know the present you can't change it like if you know one hundred percent your father is alive if you went back in time to kill him you wouldn't be able to.
