Another Thursday funny.
Re: Another Thursday funny.
Is this Tut admitting that maybe it is possible for time travel to occur?

Re: Another Thursday funny.
They are still debating the experiment at Cerne where they sent a light wave and a neutrino stream over 750km underground and the neutys appeared to get there several billionths of a sec before the light wave.
Consensus is that the little buggers had a false start, but it has not been disproved yet so will continue with more accurate experiments. Very difficult to state that something is impossible, but time travel is, otherwise it would exist. Likewise exceeding the speed of light, unless you throw Einstein's equations out of the window that state that mass becomes infinite when it reaches light speed, game over, can not happen, will not happen.
This is in the real world, absolutely pointless debating parallel Universes and worm holes, we will never fully understand this one, and it is only wishful thinking as we are constrained by the speed of light, so are only ever going to travel inches from our own planet on the Universe scale. There is nothing that I would like more than to think that we could explore the wonders of the Universe, but the numbers numb the mind. 400 billion galaxies some of the giants with 100 trillion stars in them, but an average of 300 billion, so 1 followed by 24 zeros stars.
Not that we need even contemplate it, we will probably destroy our planet before we have even found a cure for cancer or even the common cold.

Re: Another Thursday funny.
Assuming you're talking about OPERA - the researchers that originally announced their results amended their paper to explain the impact of equipment errors a while ago now; taking into account these errors they determined that the particles behaved as expected - also a parallel experiment set up to confirm the results found that the particles behaved as expected - so there is no current anomaly.
Not that I think "time travel" is a particularly sane thing to reason about, it is a fallacy to say that it cannot exist else it would exist already;
You have already told us how large the universe appears to be - if somebody a couple of 100 light years away invented time travel, how would they ever get here to show it off (time for them would continue forwards, so they would die before getting here, assuming they are similar life forms to us)?
Also, how would you know - it is plausible that time travellers simply fail to make themselves known whilst visiting us.
Why should Einstein remain "right" forever; nobody else has ...
