When do you think scientists would be able to travel through time (using wormholes or other means)?Is there the possibility they have done it yet?
And also do you think philadelphia experiment was real or just a myth?

They're working on it now. The experiment is, if I remember correctly, limited to a sub-atomic particle, but hey...it's a start, right?

I'm not sure. It would completely break the laws of physics and time, and that may not even be possible. Of course no amount of electrical circuits will do anything. It'll have to be done using space in some sort. But it's pretty much impossible to do and will not happen in our lifetime.

Time Travel is not possible, travelling back in time certainly isn't possible. The only way to technically travel forward in time would be to create a device faster than the speed of time, something which will prove very hard and even then I doubt it would really do much

Pretty much this, it won't be possible to go back in time, only has far back to the day the "time machine" would be created.

The faster a body travels, the more time slows down relative to that body. This has been proven with cesium clocks carried in airplanes. It isn't a significant amount, but it does happen. I don't have a link to offer, but I'm sure I can find it if anyone's interested. In effect, anytime we travel we are "travelling in time."

i believe time travel in any significant sense to be theoretically impossible.

I really highly doubt we will ever be able to travel through time

You can read what Hawking said about it here ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1269288/STEPHEN-HAWKING-How-build-time-machine.html). It's an interesting read.

Time travel is possible, just not practical. Whenever you move, you move slightly slower through time than you would if you were stationary. This allows time travel into the future. Unfortunately, the amount of time that you move forward is tiny. If you could approach the speed of light, however, this small slowing of time would become more significant. The only downside is that it takes a huge amount of energy to get anywhere near the speed of light.

Thats pretty accurate, the only way to 'slow down' time for you, would be to go very close to the speed of light, and that would take massive amounts of energy
