Is it possible to see into the past by...?

yes. i don't think any pre-existing celestial body can be reflective like that, but if there somehow were one far enough away, then yes.  it would have to be very very far though. for example, if it were 2 light years away, then we would see events from four years ago, the light would have to travel 2 years there and 2 years back. but we would see the events being exactly played out, in real time, and always exactly four years ago, and it would follow the rotation of the earth, so it would only be certain parts at certain times.

That depends on whether or not you're asking about what could have been, what might have been, what used to be, or what has never been......\n\n\nTo realize what could have been, you must be able to see what has been, what could be, and what may yet happen - while some people can see one, not many can see all that is, to know what could have once been....

Yes, but you can only go to the future, not the past

I dont think time travel is possible! Even if you were to go faster than the speed of light, it still takes time to get to where you are going. And that brings up another question, where do you go?? Do you zoom around the planet a few million times? Which direction? Does it matter, it still takes TIME to do it.\n\nJust for argument sake, lets say you could go back (or forward) in time. I dont know why you couldnt be seen, you just traveled to a different time and when you get there your there, just as if you were to travel to a different city.

Actually, the current theory on time travel is that the furthest back into the past you can travel with a time machine is to the point that the time machine was created.\n\nAccording to this theory, to travel back into the past, you would need to create two worm holes.  One wormhole would exist at the time that you turn on the machine and the other worm hole would be put somewhere to 'age'.  At some time in the future, something could be put into the wormhole in the future and it would come out in the past.

I think there is a difference between *seeing* past events--like looking at the 8-minute-old light from the sun--and time travel.  Time travel, as it is portrayed in novels and movies, involves the ability to actually be in the past or future, and I cannot see how that is possible.\n\nTo begin with, imagine going back to your own childhood.  You enter the house where you grew up and have a conversation with the kid you used to be. There you are, in your old kitchen, having a conversation with . . . yourself.  Do you see the probem?  There are TWO of you, the young child that you were and the adult that you are now, both together.  If you cannot accept the possibility of another person, or a billion other people, all of whom are you--just as much you as the person reading this answer--then time travel can't exist.\n\nNow consider a further possibility.  You travel back in time to the kitchen where your great grandfather was a boy.  Maybe that was 100 or 120 years ago.  But this time, instead of having a conversation with the boy version of your great grandfather, you kill him.   He never becomes a father to your grandfather, so your grandfather is never born.  Obviously, neither is your father ever born, nor, of course, you.  But if you were never born, who is it who just killed your great grandfather?  And, while we are at it, how can you be here?\n\nBottom line:  Just as a recording of an old TV news show can tell us what happened last year, light traveling through space may provide us with a record of what went on 8 minutes or 8,000 years ago.  But it is not time travel, which is impossible.\n\nGood luck!!

Time travel is possible. Theoretically.  According to some theories, there are random tears in the fabric of space-time.  Some researchers have even interviewed people who have had experiences of "lost time" and weird visions such as seeing things that were there one moment but gone the next only to find out that the particular thing they had see there only exsted in a time before.

I really don't think it's possible to travel through time, though...

wish I had an answer for you dearheart...all I can suggest is research the past...there has to be a record somewhere of it all...

The worst limitation is that it is not forward looking. It cannot predict the future, only analyze the past, compare and contrast the present with the past.

Wow! Talk about a walk down memory lane-I don't know if it is or not but it would be interesting to find out just for old times sake, huh?

If you would belive in the parallel universe theory\nthere is a possibility that the past exists in a \nanother parallel univerese.However if you would\nbelive in the space-time continum,the past would\nnot simply exist as would the future.But theoriticaly\ntime travel is possible is you consider slowing down\nthe rate of time advancing but this will not lead you to the past but it would take longer you to reach the future in your particluar reference of time\n,here relativity comes into picture and the solution is still not clear.

There are a number of psychics and divination services out there that claim to be able to see the future. In my belief, a skilled individual can catch glimpses of it, but the future is fluid and always changing so what they see is not guaranteed to happen.

I think that there is the theory that you could travel back in time, but it is really all Star Treckie.  I don't think there is any possibility of travelling back in time, no matter how fast you can go.
