So, is it really that unreasonable to think that there's a chance that time travel will be possible within our lifetime?
Yeah, I've gotta think that it's a bit out there, considering we simply have no concept of what time is beyond a philosophical sense (ie; we have machines that count the values we assign to relate to the passing of what we believe to be time excruciatingly well - but we still don't know what it is). If we can't even define our terms and a short span of time like a year is actually counted wrong, is it reasonable to think we can travel through it? Sorry to say, but it's not.
