There is many movie that its story evolve around time traveling or time machine, like back to the future, the time machine, navigator, time cop, quantum leaps, and lots of other movie. Do you think that time machine will ever existed? and if it is what time would you like to go?
If I can go, I would go to the greek age, I want to see the making of parthenon, gods statue, temples. Have you ever meet someone from the future? would you like to meet one?

In my opinion, i think this kind of device is impossible. Because "time" is run in "one way" , that means only can forward not allow backward. This is the rule when GOD designed "time".

I believe all of the previous responses are very interesting and very right - they even did a test of how a faster speed can affect time - they did this by putting an atomic clock on a plane and connecting that to a one on the ground - starting it at the same time and stopping it at the same time. It turned out that the times were different from each other by a very small fraction of a second - effectively proving einstein's theory. but i don't believe his theory of travelling faster than the speed of light to turn back time is correct - i reckon that travelling faster will just cause time to keep slowing down - continuously going for zero - but it will never reach zero.

Theoratically, the object must move greater than the speed of light to go ahead of time and i think its kinda hard to acheive at the moment. Maybe there is some super natural way to acheive it :-S
In past i would like to meet egyptian scientists and the plan behind constructing pyramid

Time travel into the future is at least possible but 'extremely difficult'
You would need to accelerate near to the speed of light, this causes an effect known as 'Time Dilation' where time slows down for you, but continues at normal speed for everyone else. Time Dilation has been proven to exist. The GPS Satalites that orbit Earth must have their clocks adjusted one every few years because their clocks slow down becuase of the speed they orbit.
There is no known method for time travel into the past, 'Worm Holes' may offer an answer but we do not know if they even exist. However you can 'see' into the past by looking into the depths of space, the further away something is the longer it takes for the light to reach our eyes.
The Sun is 8 Light Minutes away, so you see the sun as it was 8 minutes ago.
Scientists have looked right to the edge of the universe some 15 billion light years away, they can see what the universe looked like 1 billion years after the big bang.
