I would imagine that this search result includes any Chrono Trigger fan-games that would happen to be on here. Aside from that, I'm afraid I don't really know!

And I thought this was going to be about the concept of time travel or whether it's possible or not. :(
There's one on the site called Wings of Time. Do a quick search and you should find it easily enough.

Sunset Over Imdahl, beautiful game!
How did I forget that one?

Personally, this one reminds me of Evoland, concept-wise.

Not possible:

Going in the past prior to the time machine's creation creates a paradox since the time machine will cease to exist.

Going in the future... May be possible, but you can't see what actions you have done since you have removed yourself from the time line. I mean you physically went into a machine, which means you were likely reported as missing. Though your existence is so insignificant that you could likely see most of the major world changes. You could debate whether or not when you went back to the past you would remember anything or not. Since going back to the past would erase your knowledge of the future? (Not too sure of this.)


Time travel to the future is always possible with relativity.
Time travel to the past may or may not be possible assuming
paradoxes are self-consistent with quantum parallel universes.
Time it'self could have multiple dimensions.
Well, you could time travel to the past if you went inside a black hole, since time goes backwards in those apparently. The problem is you'll be dead before you get anywhere close.

The black hole would rip you into a molecular level, which in itself is a form of time travel. Since in the beginning we were all made from these base components.

But when you look up at the stars you can see stars that no longer exist. The light from those stars is still travelling to earth though. So it may be possible to see into the past, but not to go to the past.

I saw a tagline that claimed that if you got beaten by a butterfly you could travel back 15 minutes in the past.
Play Civilization V and you will time travel to the next morning.
I know Stein's Gate proposed sending memories to a consciousness in the past through changing memory into data, compressing it, and sending it through use of a black hole. Of course, we'd have to figure out making memories data, controlling a black hole (they used the large hydron collider), and how it transports the data to a person's brain.

The game uses phones as a medium for the information, but since the compression of memories was part of the technology sending the memories as well, that part was vague.

The game plays off this as being paradoxless, since nothing has changed but the info in your brain. The cause of this info entering your brain is obviously from the future though, which should make a paradox. Unless random memories being transported to brain from future doesn't count for some reason.

It's a pretty interesting visual novel/anime either way!

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Except info in your brain physically manifests itself as neuronic connections, making it very much a paradox. It is indeed a version of the bootstrap paradox, where things are created without an origin.

Also I don't see how using black holes to send information into the past would work, as black holes are just really dense balls of mass, and nothing else. XD
Time goes slower the larger gravity is, so if you're in space time actually goes slightly faster (since you're farther away from a source of gravity, the Earth). That's why some scientists theorize that time inside a black hole goes backwards.

Edit: Ofcourse it's still a silly idea to be somehow able to use a black holes to send memories to the past, just saying that's probably the basic idea that caused them to use black holes to do it.

Becoming slower doesn't mean going backwards.

That's like dividing a number by zero.

You can graph a limit for it, but there's never a final answer.

Sending stuff through a black hole, you just go slower and slower and never reach the end.
Nobody knows what actually happens. I'm just saying that's one of the theories. It's impossible to tell what actually happens with any current technology, though.

the problem is with 'sending stuff through a black hole'. Once something enters the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole, that's it. It's never coming out. That applies even to light. So even if you could send information 'into' a black hole, which would mean shooting some physical manifestation of that information into the schwarzschild radius of the black hole, it wouldn't go anywhere, it would just stay there. We wouldn't even know if it entered the schwarzschild radius to begin with, because the gravity indeed slows down time, as in, light just outside the schwarzschild radius would in the limit take an inifnitely long time to reach us.

Now because time limits to standing still at the schwarzschild radius, I can understand people theorize time moves backwards inside of it, even if I think it's kinda ludicrous, but anything in that radius will never come out, so also not in the past.
