Ok so I posted this in the physics section and people started to debate whether time travel was possible but that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if it was possible how would it be done.

I have this theory about time travel that the reason no one has figured it out is that once a person gets an idea about it in their head they get stuck on that idea and can't move off.

So I've decided to collect everyone's ideas on the way time travel would be done if it could be done and just try to keep an open mind.

That's why I'm here. Hoping to pick your brains, any thoughts you have are welcome...

Thank you.

If it could be done, then I guess it would be done by flying really fast on a pink unicorn in a southerly direction, this would of course take you forward in time. Pink unicorns are notorious for their speed and if of good stock, might go faster than the speed of light.

A good tight helmet and arm/knee pads would be required and the rider should also wear safety gear.

Pink unicorns are not very good at trotting backwards, so traveling back in time is of course IMPOSSIBLE and so no point me speculating on that.

You are reckoning without the use of the latest genetic engineering process on the unicorns so that they can trot backwards: Modally Applied Genetic Interference Compilations shold do the trick.

Alternatively one could use fairy powder,

You can get it from all good Supermarkets.


It comes as a washing up liquid too, magical whitening results some would say!

Okay there are a couple parts to my theory. first im not talking about a time travel machine, I'm talking about moving faster then light and how doing this would make you travel backward into the past. this is all saying we can theoretically move faster then light through some kind of imaginary dark matter futuristic space ship.

I have a scenario where time travel would take place due to the space ship going faster then light. Now in my theory, two space ships are beside eachother talking with a sun shining light on them. One does a faster then light launch to a distance where it would take about 40 seconds to get to at light speed.

the space ship then turns around and moves left about 50 feet. Now looking back at the other space ship. the light that was reflecting off the ships is about 20 seconds in the past and the light is catchin up to him, and he would see himself talking to the other ship from the past. thus time travel has occured. because in the end time is really just how long something takes to reach our eyes. if u consider everything you see right now current, then that space ship would be current and you would be looking at the past.

this also would work for moving forward in time as if you looked in the other direction you just met the light coming from the other direction faster.
