I believe in the possibility of time travel
for one reason.
Time is measured by light.
Which is maneuverable, bendable, ceaseable,
intensifiable.
I think we can take it.

I am terribly embarrassed. But I have to ask:
Which of the above is the one reason?

Time travel=Light=Hypothetically workoutable

bleh, time is a construct. There is no "time" other than the present. Past and future are a construct of our perception. Most people confuse "time" with a measure of motion (i.e. MPH)...

The past exists only in so far as it is remembered or documented. The future has yet to happen - the present is fleeting as it is experienced. Since time does not truly exist, can it be traveled?

Got it. Check. Hop on the saddle of a light beam, or a light cavalry, and take it for a ride. Come back by yesterday tea time.

Thanks. Now I know.

As long as we can be safely sure that our memories refer to real events, then the real events are not in the present, they must be therefore outside of the present.

I remember drinking water in the kitchen, but now I am in the living room.

Therefore times outside the presence must necessarily exist.

Therefore I reject your claims, as quoted.
