Um, yeah. And time travel is the result of time dilation. Time dilation may have nothing to do with time travel in the movies, but in real life it is the only proven way to travel through time.

time dilation = time travel

The only problem is that it is one way...

True, however, considering that the universe is infinitely expanding within finite space-time, couldn't you just "sleep" long enough until you came back around to a time that was before you went to sleep?

Since time dilation only affects the rate at which time passes in one person's frame of reference (compared the rate it appears to pass for someone else), how is time dilation any more time travel than my sitting in my chair listening to my watch tick?

Since cars only affect the rate at which one travels in relation to the frame of reference we call earth, how are automobiles anymore transportation than me walking and listening to my heels click?

Wow, your use of analogy is so lucid and insightful!

Alright!
