Now, don't be stupid! Nobody has actually invented time travel yet! - Or at least nobody has invented a REAL time travelling machine! (people have come up with the idea before, but it will probably never work)

Scientists who study time travel are often called theoretical physicists or temporal physicists. They explore the possibility of time travel through fields such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and theoretical physics.

Theoretical physicist more than likely.

As far as time travel I fear physicists have already discovered what is worth to be know. Travel towards future is in principle possible. It is sufficient to move with a speed near the light speed with respect to the starting inertial reference (the earth for one of us).

The relativistic phenomenon of time compression provoke the time to pass much slower for the traveler with respect to the persons remaining in the "fixed" reference.

When the traveler returns in the initial reference (the earth in our example) he effectively traveled towards the future.

Unfortunately, travel towards the past is effectively impossible due to the causal nature of the laws of physics. As a matter of fact, reversing the time in only one phenomenon (the travel of our traveler in this case) violate the essential law of relativity that causal order has to survive between events happening in the same point of the space. Thus it is simply impossible.

(look, I'm not going to retype his entire response but: e-mc^2 thus a particle with a negative mass will go at a negative velocity and thus backwards in time. such particles are thought to be possible (at least not counted out yet) there are also a million other ways that intelligent forces can bypass naturally unbreakable laws such as wormhole's, however improbable they may be, given infinite time and flexible enough conditions anything is possible. so go ahead and become a theoretical physicist and prove this guy wrong.)

This renders traveling to future quite unattractive: It is impossible to return from such a travel.

What are scientists that study time called?

Scientists who study time are generally known as chronobiologists. They explore biological rhythms and how they are influenced by time-related factors such as light and temperature.


What kind of scientist describes time travel and the behavior of light waves?

I am not sure that there are many scientists who describe time travel. those that describe light waves are physicists.


What are facts about about space?

It is really big, and is still growing. Black holes and white holes may join to form tunnels called wormholes - scientists believe this maybe the secret to time travel ..


Do forensic scientists travel?

Yes, forensic scientists travel all over the world. Many times they are used in court cases and will travel to testify.


Why I know how to time travel!?

I know how to time travel, and I have time traveled. 48 hours into the future, and then I called my friend. They were in hospital. I saved them!


Did scientists create Time Machine?

No, scientists have not created a working time machine as portrayed in science fiction. The concept of time travel is still theoretical and has not been demonstrated in reality.


Can you travel back in the year 1982?

Scientists haven't made the technology to go back in time yet so you can't


Is traveling back in time possible?

yes, time travel is possible but (so far) really only works with small objects, such as molecules. Scientists have tested time travel and what you must do, is get a machine to go faster than the speed of light. Then, (scientists did it with music) once they played it in the machine, it sounded like it came out backwards.... or so I've heard.


How long does it take for a fart to travel a mile?

Body gases can travel at quite speeds, but this is not necessary to know and therefore scientists would rather spend their time on something else.


When will weinvent time travel?

Time travel is currently considered impossible based on our current understanding of physics, as it violates the principles of causality. While scientists continue to explore theoretical concepts like wormholes and closed timelike curves, practical time travel remains a subject of science fiction.


What integral part of time travel mechanics is this three pointed thingamabob?

It is called a flux capacitor, and is what makes time travel possible.


How do you reverse time?

You can't, unless you have a time machine lying around or something. Although some scientists have a theory that if you could travel faster than the speed of light you could travel backwards in time. You wouldn't be able to get back again though!
