Stephen Hawking proclaims:

'Time travel will exist'

(excerpt)

‘However, Hawking thinks we will never actually be able to use these wormholes for time travel, or any other travel for that matter - which will come as a great disappointment to fans of series ranging from Star Trek to Stargate. The reason is that naturally occurring wormholes are far too tiny and short-lived. Even if we could somehow harness one and expand it so that it was large enough for a person to walk into, Hawking thinks the radiation feedback would collapse it instantly. So travel backward through time is theoretically possible at one level, but almost certainly impossible for human beings.’
