Considering how widespread not only in geography but in culture as well as technological and philosophical advancement Homo Sapiens is, I suppose it is a relative term but there is a marked difference even from the epochs of Roman Peace (about which some said "Rome creates a desert and calls it peace" which does rather ignore the importance of concrete, aquaducts, and roads some of which are still in use today) and the 200-300 years of relative peace, prosperity and growth of Humanism in The Renaissance and Reformation, which spread thru technology rather than conquest from Europe to points all over the known world.

It is interesting and perhaps instructive to realize that The Black Death as horrific as it was (along with much of the 13th and 14th Centuries, the "poster child" for "hellishly short and brutal" was part of the influence that led to Humanistic thought. Despite increased battles for religious domination and colonial cash cows most people given a limited choice would easily prefer being born during 15th and 16th s opposed to 13th and 14th. Progress is painfully slow (and pendulous) but it does occur and we really aren't, in many areas, many steps down from the trees.

I don't think I could do it. I would have to believe that some other time would be more important to me than the where/when I am right now.

Are facts possible that time travel may happen to humans?

From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-11646933

Has Belfast film-maker found time travel evidence?

A Belfast film-maker has posted a video on the internet showing what he says could be evidence of time travelling.

George Clarke from east Belfast has been puzzled for more than a year by a scene in a film which appears to show a woman talking on a mobile phone.

The unusual thing is that the movie was made by Charlie Chaplin in 1928 - long before mobile phones were invented.

In the eight days since George posted the clip on Youtube - more than 1.5m people have viewed the video online.

Even the US talk show host Jay Leno created his own spoof version.

George was checking the extras on a Chaplin DVD box-set and began watching a clip of the 1928 Hollywood premiere of The Circus.

"As I sat back to watch it I realised in the first 30 seconds there's A lady strolling by with her hand up to her ear which looked quite familiar in today's society.

"So I wound it back and watched it again, zoomed it in and slowed it down and got other people in to check it out.

"Everybody had the same reaction - it looks like she's talking on a mobile phone."

He has since showed the clip to a number of people, including the audience of a Belfast film festival.

He said no-one has been able to provide an explanation.

Since posting it on Youtube it has had more that 1.5m views and provoked 10,000 comments.

"A mystery like this one, bottom line I don't think we're ever going to find out," George said.

"My initial reaction was that's a mobile phone, they weren't around then, my only explanation - and I'm pretty open-minded about the sci-fi element of things - it was kind of like wow that's somebody that's went back in time."

For fun, the future in 100 year increments.
I could see suspended animation as a reality but time is not mythology or a clock so like life after death, dream on..!
Can't have time if you don't make it.

Peace!
Everything isn't atoms? C, H, O,... form brain and connections, which makes soul? Once all are tired, connections/ atom bindings disappear and reform to another material. Diffuse... maybe another C, H, O,... and those become one day maybe a Spontex Sponge, that you will never now.

However, those bilateral vortex / or dimensions might an interesting thing to look at?

Is there wave or wavelengths or some electromagnetic vibrations that aren't unexplored yet?

Arrow Perceptively forward...

Everything is not understood(, understandable) or atoms. Science may seem fairy tail at "times"—> but not all imagination will be science and especially reality... e.g: soul—mythology or thought if you will, dark matter so far a concept, war &c.

Diffuse is one thing like mix, decay, appear, collide, infinity...

Say you could time-travel (tt) back; bringing a TV\DVD and power-supply and they will kill you, destroy the devices and claim you were a witch! You'd be one if you could tt.

It is better(\fun) to dream about tt rather than "heaven" and "hell" at lest tt does not F the world up.

I actually debated some time travel theories with my soon to be 13 year old nephew today. He said even if I'm right and it's just dreaming you could still someday, possibly, freeze yourself and then wake up in the future...

So I could pay my phone bill on time

I would go back in time and buy lots of stocks from starter companies that are big today like google, apple, and even MS. I would be a billionaire. Too bad time travel is only a fantasy

Easy. New filmmaker self-promotion. It's a blatant hoax even if done in a "soft" manner. If that scene and person exists at all and was not a case of editing in, it simply cannot be a mobile phone as that would be ridiculous without cell towers or satellites providing a network as well as another individual with a similar device. Absurd.
