• Question: Answer this : read this carefully: time : time is a made up word . there fore before people gave it a meaning it was nothing . time is not a inanimate object so why do people think time travel is possible when we cant hear or see time ?!

      There’s a lot of argument about time. Some philosophers even argue that only ‘now’ exists. As a geologist, I can put things into a time-perspective, and have ways to measure time that has passed. Time only seems to go in one direction, which is, I imagine, the reason that people are interested in the possibility of travelling back in time. Not being able to see or hear things has never stopped people from imagining things! It’s one of the qualities that makes us human.

      Time is tricky since it did not exist before the universe existed. I don’t know how to answer your question though. Sorry. I can just say that time travel is a theory that may be able to be tested one day!
