@irony. I was just stating a interesting theory that my friends and I came up with. there are limitless ideas people can come up with about stuff they dont know.
1.) a black hole is formed
2.) the atoms fuse
3.) the atoms just deflect off each other.
4.) an explosion
5.) an implosion
6.) a baby is born
7.) we discover God
All in all these are an extremely small amount of theories/ ideas of what is possible.
The fact of the matter is for all the hypotheses they make, no one actually know what will happen. so it is oppen for belief.
You make physics weep. Please stop taking a shit on it. Thank you.

Time travel will never occur as far as I am concerned. Why? the theory of relativity states that an object requires exponentially more energy in order to go slightly faster. Why? Because as an object approaches the speed of light it gains mass (or weight I forget which). The sheer amount of energy that would be required to make an object reach the speed of light would be so massive that we simply can't produce that much energy at a single point. Though that only pokes hole in the faster than light travel theory.This is probably the most comprehensively true thing posted in this thread. It could certainly be a lot more true, but this isn't a classroom, so it's definitely true enough.
Most discussions about "time travel" tend to stray pretty well from being a discussion about the actual physical aspects and possibilities of it, and rest on being philosophical discussion with the assumption that in the future time travel is possible, and they then talk about the repercussions and more hypothetical subjects like how the universe would deal with someone traveling through time and change events that "already" happened. This isn't without reason, most people aren't having these discussions because they are a group of physicists working out how to actually do it, they're just some ordinary people. And ordinary people don't have a chance of coming close to understanding these kinds of things on any meaningful level. If you want to learn about this, study it independently and take some physics classes. And try to get your information from reliable sources, rather than just listening to what some dude on the internet says.
As far as going back in time and changing something, I've always liked to think that the universe can handle some dick trying to fuck shit up, and basically wouldn't let you do it, or at least not in the same continuity of reality that you originally existed in. I like the many-worlds interpretation, just because it gives the impression of better origination in the universe (or actually, multiverse), but I don't know if it's actually the most likely. It's a pretty speculative area.

Here's some thoughts:
1. if time travel is possible in the future, where is all the time travelers?
2. according to the law stating that no two object can occupy in the very same space, every time traveler will pop out of nowhere, filling up the space. The same person may travel again to the same time while he himself of another time exist in the same plane of reality, so instead of adding up, people multiply to the point that the universe cannot support all the objects that keeps appearing.
3. in accordance to time paradox, the moment we turn on the time machine, infinite numbers of time travelers will pop up instantaneously and the same with #2, the existing reality will not be able to support all that matter and will explode.
4. it is fucking hard to do.

can only answer the first question though.They are all busy banging the hottest chick they ever met and going back in time to do it over and over again.
Yeah selfish time-travellers
