I heard Michio Kaku thinks time travel is possible by going through a wormhole. How can travelling through a wormhole reverse time? Isn't a wormhole still part of space-time?

Yup. Middle School newfags.

We welcome you. Time travel is possible but it has to be inconsequential to the timeline. Spacetime can bend over on itself or make paths in the shape of loops according to some. It is not "straight" as your question implies.

The basic idea of wormhole time travel is that you make a wormhole, put one end in a spaceship, and fly it around at the speed of light so that time becomes unsynched between the two ends by a set length of time. Pretty sure that's what Kaku's talking about. Welcome to /sci/ by the way

If OP is right, Michio believe there are ways to do it. I vaguely remember he rambling about exotic matter on some of his TV appearances. Maybe he believes such "exotic matter" will be discovered and controlled in the future, which sounds much like him.
