Yes, I realize it is possible but so is time travel assuming you can travel near the speed of light and manipulate gravity. Can anyone travel in time? No, but it is possible.

i hope you're not qualifying yourself as an expert witness like the therx expert thread, on either physic or video poker play. b/c tbh you don't seem qualified for either.

to theoretically time travel the object must travel FASTER than speed of light, NOT NEAR the speed of light. if you don't understand the difference between those two concepts then i would suggest using another example that doesn't require high school level physics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_tr...n-light_travel

the possibility of time travel in your stated case is dependent on the presumption it is possible for an object matter to travel FASTER than speed of light, would you like provide a relevant historical example of this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

vp play rate is an entirely different matter b/c there were historically established precedents. you would do better to listen more than chiming in, if you don't understand the difference

Understanding gravity and its importance in the time travel possibility goes beyond your quick Google search but nice job. .

since it's beyond my simple capabilities, why don't you provide a relevant source?

edit: i found this "
Using Gravity as a Means of Time Travel

In much the same way that traveling at speeds close to the speed of light can alter the flow of time, intense gravitational fields can have the same effect.
Gravity effectively is a warping of space-time, and therefore affects not only space, but time as well. The result is that time passes more slowly for an observer as they enter a massive object's gravitational well.
Astronauts, traveling on the space shuttle or International Space Station experience a combination of these effects, though on a smaller scale. Since they are traveling quite quickly and orbiting around Earth (a massive body with significant gravity), time slows down for them compared to those back on Earth. The difference is small, much much less than a second over the course of their time in space. But it is a measurable difference nonetheless."

so i agree after rereading your original post, by manipulating both gravity and traveling near speed of light is valid theoretical foundation for time travel, however using theoretical example to invalidate realistic examples is still flawed

also, can you provide a relevant historical example of known traveling near speed of light while simultaneously altering gravity? b/c you're equating that w/ vp rate of play which can be proved by concrete evidence

You ever read a journal on the topic by Mr. Hawking? It is a great read for anyone with interest in physics or an even easier read is his book called "A History of Time" where he has a whole chapter on Time Travel. I am not going to waste board space discussing time travel. My point is valid and correct and you can check any number of sources on the topic. If you would like to challenge my "high school knowledge" of the topic I will gladly do it and I won't need any Google or Wiki searches for my responses.

My point in that thread where I did the time travel analogy, if could calm down and read it SLOWLY, is just because something is possible doesn't mean it is probable. I could have sex with 50 women in one day. It's possible thanks to Viagra, lube, etc. but not probable! It is possible to play video poker hands at 4 second a pop however it just seems unlikely that all these different people are able to do it.
