Is there really such a thing as time travel? or will there be?

If there is, the future time travelers either haven't visited our era yet or they have and are just keeping it a secret!

Time travel is a heavily disputed subject, and many think that it is highly improbable that time travel is even possible. (I honestly think we may not get there...) I've looked into things such as black holes and all that jazz. It's really cool! Basically, spacetime fabric is warped around and within a black hole. This means that time passes slower for an inside observer than an outside observer. If you were able to enter and exit a black hole, you'd theoretically be time travelling. Same goes with travelling at the speed of light, or the case of the Twin Paradox. Basically, Twin A decides to travel away in a spaceship at, say, 99% light speed, whilst Twin B stays on Earth. At the end of the paradox, we see that due to inertia frames (having to do with Twin A's near-light-speed velocity) and some other complicated science stuff, time goes slower for Twin A, making Twin B much older than its sibling. Time travel.

Wow, sounds really cool. But I think time travel is possible. But since travelling to the past would make huge impact on the history and will probably change the future, there must be very strict rules for time travelers. That's why we don't know they exist. That's my personal opinion.

@Iron Man It is really cool! What a very interesting observation you've made. it's why I don't think we'll get there. There are way too many time travelling mishaps and paradoxes to worry about to even start to think about going into the past or future...
