It seems that at least in theory it is possible to travel through time. If so we just have to build a machine to time travel and to go. But where to go? To do what?

Dear Cannizzaro,
Isn't it always "the best of times and the worst of times"? If so, then we might as well stay put in our own times.
However, there are various historical figures whom I would love to have had the opportunity to meet, say, Einstein, Newton, Aristotle, William James, Emerson, Thomas Jefferson, etc, etc. But they have no single distinctive time.

Dear Leonardo,
Where I could rest, a travel to my home. Thank you for your question.
Travel is an experience of study ,change & process of contemplation whereby it may help us to change with the new thought ,new environment & also atmosphere for our thinking process of mind both from the outside & also from the inside.
Our travel should be a changed through our routine of practice of purchase to visit the mall & other such places it will not offer us the change for which we required both for our routine environment & also for day to day action for our working environment .
In this line we may not select a rural places but a place surrounding by nature beauty ,historical monuments ,a monument of great personality or holy saint whereby we can receive an atmosphere both for tranquility & also for learning their message which may help us for our inspiration & for creating a new line of action .
This is my personal opinion
Dear Leonardo,
Where I can be happy then I travel , think it is my home, so I will still here
regards

I should like to meet Leonardo da Vinci, and see how he studied Anatomy.
From there I would travel to Rome to watch how Michelangello painted the sistine chappel...
I wish I could learn some more from them.
Thank you very much for your question, dear Leonardo. You made me travel in time...
I like go in Lisbon in the time of XVI sciecle, and see the boat for go in India, China etc.
And more in botanical Garden of Semiramide
Dear colleague
Ask God to help me on go to the Makkah, and visit the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him in KSA.

I am dreaming about some future time where it could be free from wars, diseases and injustice. However, I still wondering if such a day will come !

Dear Leonardo,
With retour tickets I would like to visit many historical events and ages in time. Who not?
Dear Maria,
I would like to see how Leonardo painted the last supper or Mona Lisa.
Dear Salah,
I also cherish your own hopes. But unfortunately the machine can travel only in the past because the future does not yet exist. Of course the machine can go back (so Andràs will be happy) but I do not know how long the round trip and not even know the duration of the return trip.
It seems that at least in theory it is possible to travel through time. If so we just have to build a machine to time travel and to go. But where to go? To do what?
I'm very interested to know deeper the above "To do what?". If time travel is possible & we can go back in time - things / tasks that we do can we change the history / rewrite history? E.g. do something to prevent World War 1 & 2?
Also if time travel is possible, is there any possibility to bring any object together with us back in time?
For backward travel I would like to be a round to watch the early Minoans "mining" metal deposits around the globe, the travel of the Argonauts (where did they actually go) and Ulysses (did he reach the Americas?).
For forward travel I would like to watch human spacecraft actually divert a hazardous asteroid before it crashes onto the Earth and obliterates all humanity on the planet.
I think time travel is possible with very low cost of 'energy'. Please read our paper about the nature of particle. The paper itself is not ready to be published yet. But due to problems with certain people we decided to upload a first version here on RG. You can find it clicking my profile. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Critics are explicitly wished.
Excellent Drishya. All the responses were many interesting, but the answer of Drishya seems to me the most significant. If we can to travel in time is not difficult to know the truth of the universe. Simply go to the zero time and see what was there before and as time and space begin.
I would like to go back in time and travel to the days of William Shakespeare, the widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
I plan on going back to the early '70s and using my advanced knowledge of audio and video production techniques and related technologies, to break into the entertainment industry and make a fortune producing hit records, films and multimedia events. I'll invent advanced video arcade games in time for the craze in the '80s and make millions off that while it lasts and I'll retire around the early 2000s.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
The most useful form of time travel would be to go back a year or two and rectify the mistakes we made.

Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
'Closed timelike curve' is the jargon for time travel. It means you go out, come back and meet yourself in the past.

I hope to go back, to relive again under care of my great PARENTS, where every moment there represents full happiness.

I would like to go to 1000 years in the future to see how wise or stupid humans would become.
Returning to the past and repairing work that we think was not well done, does not mean that the correction will be good for the future. Also, what we think today is good, does not necessarily mean that in the future will be considered as well. So it is more important to do good in the present rather than any other time.
Far enough into the future that we have discovered how to travel at high enough speeds that we aren't limited to just living on this planet. This would take a certain amount of trial and error. You'd have to skip up a few decades at a time.
I still remember very clearly the days before we had even found proof of planets around other suns. Am very pleased not to have to debate the likelihood of that anymore. That was rather frustrating. Now it would be nice to stop debating whether the Lorentz transformation limits can be sidestepped, bypassed, tunneled through, or whatever clever way we can avoid those limits of speed/mass/time.
Oh, and also proof of extraterrestrial life. Another frustrating debate that needs to end.
As to going to the past to correct mistakes? In part, not sure that would be possible. And I agree with Risto. There's no proof that the "correction" would be good.
Here's an exercise: What makes anyone think that our past mistakes are not the result of having gone back in time and tried to correct them? How do we know they have not already been revisited time and time again?
As to meeting the luminaries from past centuries? My guess is, it would be disappointing! The embellishment that has been heaped on historical figures, over the many decades and centuries, would be laid bare. Let's not forget that the most of these historical figures lived in a time of very poor communications, or at the very least, when the press could get away with idolizing public figures. The legends might just not survive such an experience. That would be my bet.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"Time travel
Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time. Time travel could involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveller to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Time travel has been a common plot in science fiction. The theories of special and general relativity allow methods for forms of one-way travel into the future via time dilation, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow time travel into the past.
Einstein proposed the theory of SPECIAL RELATIVITY and GENERAL RELATIVITY •It states that space and time are really aspects of same thing :SPACE-TIME •According to this time moves differently to different people corresponding to there relative speed."....

I am very sorry, unfortunately, as I have already said, the time machine can only travel in the past and return to the starting point as the future does not exist yet. To see the future we have to continue to rely on the clairvoyants as we have always done since the world is world.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"If You Could Time-Travel, Where Would You Go?
By KATHERINE SCHULTEN
Inspired by the fact that today is the day we finally catch up to the tomorrow depicted in “Back to the Future, Part II,” we wonder, if you could time-travel to any year or era past or future, where would you go? Why?
To give you a few ideas, we found this article from last March about “5 Ways to Time-Travel (and Party) in New York”:"....
