First off, let me state right up front that a lot of this
is philosophically based. It's more about your personal
philosophy than science... which a lot of what you
mistaken for science is.

Best example: Abiogenesis

Unsupported. Every last hypothesis which was capable
of being tested has been falsified. It just plain doesn't
meet the standards for science, as nothing can ever
disprove it... it's always BELIEVED TO BE true no matter
what...

So personal philosophy matters here. If you believe in
God then you don't need abiogenesis. If n your philosophy
there is no room for a deity(s) then you need abiogenesis.

So in my case I tend to believe that if something is possible
then, given the age and vastness of the universe, it has
happened.

Remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I'm
paraphrasing here but, "Nothing is impossible, merely
improbable, and in an infinitely large universe everything
has happened countless times."

Anyway, so there's nothing in physics that absolutely
positively rules out time travel. Which means, in my mind,
it has to be taking place or it had to take place... will take
place.

If it's possible, and the universe is large enough and old
enough, it's happened many times. Regardless of the odds
against it. The opportunity is just so mind numbingly great
that it has to be happening.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE CAN EXPLOIT IT!

It doesn't mean we can duplicate a natural time travel
or use it ourselves. It doesn't even mean we can reach
such a place or point in space. Things don't have to be
accessible to us in order to exist.

Okay, so maybe there's worm holes or other means to
send something backwards in time -- TOTALLY NATURAL.

How do we test for such a thing?

Well. It all comes down to being able to date matter
itself.

Look. Matter is not immortal. Supposedly all matter will
eventually crumble. So it may be possible to determine
if one piece of matter is closer to reaching the point of
decay than another -- i.e. one is older than the other.

So the best way of "Proving" time travel, backwards time
travel, is to figure out a way of dating matter itself, and
then finding something that's too old.

WE ALREADY KNOW HOW TO TRAVEL FORWARD IN
TIME.

Right? Time Dilation & all that jazz?

What we want to find is matter that is older than the
universe -- the older the better. Because if we can a
meteorite in our hand that's 50 or 200 billion years
older than the universe, that sort of requires it to have
traveled backwards through time.

So that's one way we could test for backwards time
travel. The other is my recent example of tachyons.

If tachyons exist, humans figure out a way of creating
them at will, they could be created in patterns. And
because they supposedly move backwards in time,
these patterns can send information to the past.

Morse Code. Binary Code. Whatever.

This is guaranteed. If #1. tachyons and #2 we figure out
a way of detecting them and #3 we figure out how to
create them at will, messages will be sent into the past.

It has to happen.
