Time travel can be done into the feature but not the past, if you were to approach the speed of light for an extended period of time you would be going slower than everyone else. If you were to build a track around the earth and have people going close to the speed of light around it for multiple years they would arrive into a feature time relative to the amount of time that has passed for them.Travel to the past however is impossible because you could create a paradox.
Didn't Hawkins said that time travel is possible to the past, but since the future isn't written yet that if it was possible that the future you could travel to is only one of a billion possible futures. IE back to the future II.
I don't know where i read this at, but if you could travel in time that the energy needed to travel one day is equal to the energy of the sun.
No, i believe Hawkins said that you can look but not travel into the past and you can travel but not look into the future. I believe he mentions all this in his book/t.v show "Into the Universe". He also talks about a great deal of many other things like paradox's,aliens,traveling at the speed of light, etc...

In my opinion, nothing is impossible, it's only a matter of probability. If we can't currently accomplish something, that doesn't mean it will always be inachievable.

I believe it is interesting to ponder over such issues once in a while; one can never tell when the next revolutionary idea may develop.
Personally, I don't think stopping time is a requirement for time travel, although both concepts are closely related. In addition, most of us may have "stopped" time at a certain point in our lives, namely when taking photographs. It may not have a great area of effect, but everything within the frame has indeed stopped moving.
I am not sure if the above makes sense, but the thought simply entered my mind.

Take a picture, wait a few years and let your mind travel into the past.

Read this article recently, makes you think.
Time is just another dimension.

if you thing about what einstiein said about time, that if you go faster then the speed of ligth you would be going back in time.
A astonaots age faster in space then on earth and space is fild of "nothing" thats 0 kalvin (= -273,15C).
But its fun to speculate, and i think there will be somebody smart (or insane) enough to attempt time bending...

Time is an interesting thing. I believe at the current state that human understanding it is almost impossible to truly grasp the idea of time. Time travel may be possible but a hard concept to grasp and really give a good theory to support it.
Time exists so everything wont happen at once.

Theoretical Physics allows for time travel backwards so as long as you have access to negative energy, but I haven't found anything that say you could stop time. From what I know thus far, you can't stop the flow of time, only move through it.

A time-machine was theorized some time ago, to send information back into the past. It can only send info back as far as the machine was operational. I don't know if this has been sunk yet as either:
a) Impossible due physics
b) Impossible to build
...but a professor was trying to build it AFAIK:
So far there's been plenty of objections, but there was no definitive disprove.

Eddo- what you described isn't exactly stopping time so much as stopping all matter. Time is a measurement of motion; time relates directly to matter.

yeah... you know the physics you speak off is what we have come to learn over the years. If you do check a history book you will see that all that we know at the moment is probably wrong... don't believe everything you learn, well at least that which you learned from someone else.

In my opinion, the concept of time and space as mentioned before are just measurement which physicists use to perform calculation and experiment, and that many has theorise that the concept of time and space manipulation itself remains in the imaginary field of numbers in which case just as how these imaginary numbers are used to prove calculations and theories, the true concept of time and space can only prove that manipulation is possible but is impossible to be done.
Of course as technology is also another important factor in this matter, its not exactly a true fact (just an assumption)

Mmk, so most people have hit the main points already:
1: Time travel may be possible, but only back to the point where the machine was created. This was talked about in an episode of the History Channel show 'The Universe'. I suggest those interested rent it, or something. They're trying to do it with these crazy light beams stuff. Also, if you watch that show, Neil DeGrasse Tyson is AWESOME.
2: Time is merely another dimension. There are 3 spatial dimensions, and I believe 8 or 9 others. The last one (12th, maybe? I dun remember) was added in to make some equations on string theory work (pretty sure, at least...). Scientific American has a great special article on dimensions that I got as a renewal gift package, or something. Basically, you can think of all moments in time as existing at once in separate dimensions kind of like bubbles, however, you can only experience one dimension at a time. All these bubbles exist on a big kind of time tree thing, and it branches with all possible decisions (say, whether to read this long post or not would be a junction.) Sorry about the lack of links, but I'm tired, and the Sake doesn't help that situation.
3: Most people's idea of stopping time is the stopping of motion. It probably isn't physically possible just because when you stop motion (as you mentioned), there is no more energy (which they can almost do, and theoretically, all you need is a true 100% vacuum and some way to make objects in the vacuum very cold). But if you were somehow able to separate the motion of large objects and atomic motion, it may very well be possible.
4: Traveling at or near the speed of light isn't so much as traveling through time, as it is slowing down your own time (or moving through the time stream VERY quickly).
There's probably more points, but I can't think of any (again, Sake).
