There is already a post about time-travel; however, I have a more specific question.  Do you think time travel to the past can ever be possible? If so, how do you speculate it would work?

Re: Backwards Time-travel

Suppose that someday we do find out how to travel back into the future. That would imply that we are currently being visited by ourselves from the future and affecting our future path. The key to discovering how that travel works, we must recognize any outside force guiding us now. Is that really intuition? Or our own voices echoing back upon us? And if so, where was (the future) I when I agreed to that reverse mortgage?

I just blew my own mind. I knew I'd say that.

Re: Backwards Time-travel
If time travel to the past were possible it would likely happen in one of two ways. The first is the multi-vese way wich would work like this: if one were to go to the past and kill one of their grandparents they wouldn't really kill their grandparent but someone that was the same from another universe. That universe would develop differently than the one your used to. The second way would be the consistent way: If you went back in time you wouldn't be changing the past you would be fulfilling it. For example if you went back in time and tried to kill your grandparent you the gun might misfire or you might miss and hit JFK.

Re: Backwards Time-travel

If it is possible you would have had to have been there in the first place, it would be similar to a pensieve in the Harry Potter series (experiencing your memories again.)

 

Otherwise you might accidentally kill an ancestor which would mean you wouldn’t exist and therefore not have been able to kill your ancestor, or anyone that hated you or had a falling out with you would simply go back and easily remove you from existance...

 

If time travel were to exist in the way it is displayed in Science Fiction than we would simply hand down the greatest ideas to someone years before they should figure it out, it would only mean that we would have to imagine something into existance because once we thought of it then someone would simply travel back and hand it to them.

 

This is my reason for thinking that the most popular idea of time-travel is in the category of Science Fiction, plainly because it is fiction.
