This is interesting.. Do you think its possible, at least in a future with some advanced technology ?

I think an interesting question is:
If it were possible to travel in time, would it be moral?

In relation to morality, I would think absolutely not. If someone were to travel to a time where evolution was just beginning, and sneezed, the "future germs" could doom humanity before it began. (But that would lead to the paradox that since humanity never existed, [because you killed it], time travel would not have been invented in the first place, so you no longer exist)

I think traveling to the past is probably impossible, traveling to the future might very well be possible though.We're doing it right now, very slowly, but it can be sped up and slowed down, I recommend watching "Into the universe with Stephen Hawking". It's an interesting documentary series that covers this topic among others.
