      Sadly not, it’d be pretty cool, but think the laws of physics sadly mean it’s a no go.

      No, I don’t think this will ever be possible I’m afraid.

      No.
      What we know of physics would have to be completely overthrown.
      And anyway then you would run into all the standard paradoxes like being able to kill you parents before you were born. Or, suppose I just go back to yesterday, would that mean there would be two of me?

      No. If we could, would someone not have come back and told us by now?
      The thought of time travel absolutely boggles my brain! Watch Back to the Future – I don’t think I could cope with the pressure of changing something and it changing our future!!! Anyway, it would pretty much break physics!
