It's still not gonna happen. Modern physics suggests that 'time travel' into the future in a basic form is possible providing that we find a way to go faster than the speed of light. I won't go into depth, but I'm pretty positive past travel cannot occur. Just pissing on the minority of people's parades here.

Well, if this Higgs particle does exist, we could have limited time travel - travel from the point the machine was created to - theoretically - the end of time. If data is sent forwards and backwards through time, and we had machines which could replicate the human body (Nanobiotics, perhaps? There would be an issue in maintaining long-term cerebral stability, but still...) then a person in the future could 'time-travel' back to when the machine was first created. All of the data required to create the person (And replicate their brain patterns) would be sent backwards in time using the Higgs Singlet, and when it is received in the 'past' that person could be made on the spot. Technically it's time travel! Kinda.
You don't know that for certain. For all us plebs now the US government has a secret division classified above top secret that has been receiving messages from the future for any period of time. Why I could even be a time traveler who is under strict regulation to not alter anything on pain of death.phoenix352 said:

We have had time travelers already," Gott said in an interview at his Peyton Hall office. "The greatest time traveler so far is (cosmonaut) Sergei Avdeyev, who, by virtue of being on space flights for 748 days, is one-fiftieth of a second younger than if he had stayed home. So that man has traveled one-fiftieth of a second into the future."
Just leave that here. Also the parallel universe theory and paradoxes being possible allow for time travel into the past. Effective time travel (travelling a decent distance into the past or future) would be hard for most substances to survive intact.
Also going back and stopping hitler from rising to power might sound noble and just but it would cripple technological advancements and leave Germany a third world country, allowing Russia instead to rise to power in its place creating a Soviet superstate beyond anything seen in the cold war. Russia might also capture Oppenheimer and the other great scientists who flew the holocaust leaving them the only Nuclear state in the world. A war was inevitable back then.
Also taking out Hitler would delay the plans of the real evil guy, Himmler. Hitler was a powerful speaker but Himmler was the brains behind a lot of the idealogy.

I just wonder when are they going to make portals?
Them we could have fun with science... even if it kills us.

If we did have a time machine, wouldn't we have received the fricking message now? God damn people are idiots.

At least with science, it'll happen while doing (or trying to) something awesome.
The easy conclusion is that Time Travel will never happen because otherwise there would someone who has come back in time and told us they were from the future and they would try and stop disasters from happening, surely someone would have gone to Japan 2 weeks before the earthquake/tsunami and told them it was going to happen which would let people flee, but no this didn't happen because the sad truth is Time Travel is impossible.
Idk if this has been said before but i was just reading a heap of comments from the first few peps who posted, if we sent a message back in time chances are that it wouldn't be able to be interpreted or received due to the fact they don't have the technology or the knowledge that we were sending it...
If time travel DID exist and you changed something, I believe that our reality would still exist, while another reality was subsequently created, and history would proceed differently only from then on in that reality. Like say you send a message back in time to kill Hitler. Our past would remain the same, but it would've created another reality where they did kill Hitler and WW2 didn't happen. Either that, or it would be Back to the Future rules.
Like previous posters have said before me, if they do every find a way to time travel, we'd have known about already.
It's definitely a very interesting concept in of itself.
