Time Travel, True or False Options

It's depicted in several movies. Terminator uses technology, The Butterfly effect uses a phychological element, and Superman circles the earth several times to turn back a few minutes to save Lois from an earthquake. Is time travel possible? Magic, technology, speed. What are your thoughts?

I agree, it would be much trouble to have unlimited pass throughout your own life, it probably would drive you mad.

It almost ripped my mind apart and I almost went madder.

LOL

I cannot give a definate answer on whether Time-Travel can be acheived but I do see the possibilty of time travel and I personally think it would be along the lines of consciousness flowing freely in whichever 'direction' it Wills, whether forward to the possible futures or back to the what was. I have imaginations where I would go to a memory of myself when young, like 8years old or something, remembering the place in which I lived then and basically as much as poss. For example, I'm 8 and sitting in the living room of my old home watching T.V. but what's different is the self I project is my present self, with all the experiences and knowledge gained and I imagine myself(as the young child) realising that I am Al from 2007 and I basically go about as though grown up but in a childs body. Thing is, everytime I go to my current home, I don't actually live there yet and my friends of today don't know me then. It gets perplexing to say the least but the feeling of having all that experience behind me and roaming the past like a bat outta hell is just amazing.
Really do wish I could do it physically, one day.
Peace
Al.

ok, first off, its not being afraid of being a god, its more of knowing the psychology of the human condition and that is that 99.9% of the human race can't handle something like that, they would constantly struggle to change something so that they could make everything perfect. It is a constant problem that shows true through the worlds history, if you give a mortal human some sort of massive amount of power then that mortal will abuse it to and beyond the point of insanity. This is why the greatest minds in humanity have went insane. If you don't believe me then look. Either they had mental disorders or they developed them. To quote a very good like, though I don't remember what it was from, " There is a very thin line between genious and insane, the only difference between them is morality." The path towards self destruction is simply through addiction and with that kind of power, you use it once, then decide you need to again, then again, until you constantly continue doing it letting the addiction to power consume your life and soul, and at that point there is nothing left of the person except for the constant desire for perfection. The BIGGEST problem with this is that no matter how much you try you can never change the past to perfection for there is no such thing, and the fact that human nature would drive you to strive for perfection would only throw you deeper into the power trap. In short, for the average or even above average human being, something with such bewildering power would end in demise and most likely the loss of the mind unless the person possessed a MASSIVE amount of will power.
