I dunno. If the clocks don't match, that's no sign of time travel.

I know I didn't explain it adequately, but it is possible, trust me.

They didn't go back in time, time just slowed down. According to Einstein's theory of spacial relativity, the faster you go, the more time slows down. You have to travel ridiculously fast for there to be a difference that isn't really, really, really small.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks.

And actually, time itself isn't slowing any. The objects moving at a high speed are just passing through it slower. This also happens on the event horizon of a black hole.

M'kay. So I have no idea what I'm talking about, then. Thanks guys.

Don't fret over it. I've read books about string theory and special relativity FOR FUN. The stuff you learn is fascinating!

We've been studying this in physics for the last few days. What you're referring to is called 'time dilation'. And you have to be going the speed of an electron for it to have any major effect.

You can read more about it by google searching 'time dilation' or 'twin paradox'. I don't feel like explaining it because, quite frankly, I can't.
