So is time travel possible? Could a time machine ever be made?

It's possible under known science. The caviate is that you can only go forwards in time. With worm holes you could go backward in time relative to someone else, but not yourself.

The whole reason the lottery was set up was to catch time travellers.

>yourself
retard, there's no logical reason that would be true unless you literally believe in an immortal soul
if you could go "back in time" there wouldn't be "two of yourself" there would simply be matter rearranged into a structure resembling another existing human which contains data that overlaps with data that human has

It's not forbidden by current physics.

Who knows.

It's amazing how fast people can forget basic ideas in physics like "no preferred frame of reference" the moment time travel is mentioned.

I doubt it's even theoretically possible to set up a worm hole in a way that lets you interact with your past self.

You are forgetting that this violates energy constant laws. You can't meet your past self because you are the atoms of your past self. Going back in time would be increasing the mass in the past universe and destroying it in the present universe.

Going to the future is pretty plausible- just accelerate near the speed of light.
Going back in time should theoretically also be possible with an alcubierre drive.
