just thought i'd toss it in the circle of talking.

do you think it's possible, and if so, what kind of impact on human society will it have?

Time paradox: If you travel to the past and kill your grandfather when he was a child for example. This is why I don't see time travelling as a posibility.

Why? I cant imagine why that would be so bad. I think i would be like "What the Hell?" but as long as he doesnt kill me so he cant travel in the past so he cant kill me... l0l you know, i dont see where the problem is.

well apperantly even if you meet someone who look sincredibly like you it can cause deep psychological disturbance, because you actually never see yourself. mirros are only reflection (sides are changed)

Cats hate water.
Dogs usually swim.
Cats don't play fetch.
Dogs retrieve items such as bones or sticks from playing fetch.

I think its supposed to be a cat trying to be a duck and a dog, because of a Time Paradox that has been caused by time travel.

(EDIT: Please ignore this post, due to slow loading, I missed Duss. T's post)

dont you think that if you were realy able to travel in time, you d be do something like that? what if its "constant" that your grandfather ll survive and even if you travel back in time, it already happened before you was born, so even if you try, no matter how, something would happen and you grandfather d survive otherwise you wouldnt be able to get to the time mashine..or whatever.

OR what if each time you travel in time, you create paralel universe, like alternative, where you can do anything you want and you r just copy (actually cut) from your own universe.

Yes well, what happens next is the Space Time Continuum unravels and the universe implodes upon itself and all manner of strange and big and possibly painful things happens. It's like trying to divide 100 by 3 on a calculator, except instead of writing .333 etc to the end of the screen it comes up with a Syntax Error. Somethings gotta give, and the usual theory is the universe.
If time travel was ever invented, I reckon it would be a bad idea to go around killing grandfathers. The closest we'll ever get to time travel I reckon is like what happens when you fly around space at high speeds and you return to Earth a few years younger that what you whould have been, ie. had you not flown around space at high speeds.

Maybe you should make a promise that you will build a time machine in future and return to this day to meet you.

If you would promise to do it, would you appear next to you all of sudden?
