what is preventing science from discovering/inventing time travel?

if time travel were real then would all complexity classes collapse to constant time? And so if P =/= NP gets proved it would follow that time travel is impossible?

what about Closed timelike curves?

We are already travelling in time if you want to travel backwards in time just flip your clock so the numbers run in the negative

your mom, she's taking too much space, and time, get it?

time dilation is a thing but time travel doesn't make any sense unless you disprove causality

You're literally time-traveling right now.

yeah, but time-travel to the past. Possible or not?

Every night in dreams I can travel through space/time while staying conscious.
Penrose was right, people with enough distance have different time association.
On the short term visions of the future of myself I still change them on the fly.

If we could swap quantum realities, then we could probably time travel back to different ones as well; dunno if you could get home with any regularity, and you would likely die from uninhabitable or alternate astronomical positions.

we dont even know basic things like how to detect gravitons, the shape of the universe, or how move at fractions of the speed of light
