    The document discusses the concept of time travel through various theoretical means such as moving faster than the speed of light, wormholes, black holes, and time machines. It explains Einstein's theories of special and general relativity which established that time is relative and dependent on speed and gravity. It also discusses some possibilities for time travel like using wormholes or flying around a black hole to bend time, but notes significant challenges like the need to travel at the speed of light or risks from gravitational pull. The document concludes by mentioning the grandfather paradox problem of inconsistent time loops that theoretical physics cannot resolve with time travel.

     What is Time Travel

    “Time travel is the concept of moving


    between different points in time in a
    manner analogous to moving between
    different points in space, generally
    using a theoretical invention known as
    a time machine .Nature also allowed
    us Time Travel through
    Wormhole,Blackhole,Crossing speed
    of light(theoretically).”
    What Exactly is Time?
     Most people think time is constant.

     Physicist Albert Einstein showed that


    it was merely an illusion.

     Time depending on one’s speed


    through space.

     Einstein declared time as the fourth


    dimension.

     Time only provides the coordinate


    direction, which only moves forward.
    Einstein's Theory of Special & General
    Relativity

    • Einstein's theory of special relativity describes that the speed of time


    depends on how fast you are moving relative to something else

    • Ex. If someone in a spaceship flies around the earth at the speed of


    light, that person would age much slower than a person back on earth

    • Theory of general relativity states that gravity can bend time.


    Possibilities of Time Travel

    One possibility of traveling


    back in time would be to
    travel even faster than the
    speed of light, but even then
    it is shown in Einstein's
    equations that one's mass &
    length must infinitely be 0.
    However, other scientists are
    optimistic about that it may
    be done .
    Through Wormholes
    WORMHOLE a shortcut connecting
    two separate points in spacetime that
    could connect extremely far distances
    such as a billion light years or more, in
    theory, different points in time.

    • Create a wormhole between


    different points in space time
    - Space-time is a four-dimensional
    fabric that when bent, causes
    gravity .

    • But wormholes collapse fairly


    quickly & would only work for tiny
    particles.

    • Technology to even create a


    wormhole goes beyond anything
    we have today.
    Black Holes

    • A black hole is a large amount of matter


    squeezed into a small area; its gravitational pull is
    so strong that even light can’t escape it
    • Fly a spaceship quickly around the black hole to
    make the big rotating structure
    • Would have to travel at the speed of light for this
    method to work
    Black Hole from movie- INTERESTELLAR

    But some physicist claimed that the machine used for time travel
    can fall apart for the gravitational pull of the blackhole.

    This picture shows that how light bend near a blackhole for
    strong gravitational pool.
    Time Machine

    Time Machine from movie- Back to The Future

    A machine in which people or objects can be transported into


    the past or the future. Though, at present it’s only exists in
    science fiction stories & movies. If a true time machine would
    ever invented, it can only travel forward not backward.
    Because if it is capable to travel back in past, it may create
    some inconsistent loop(paradox). Which physics doesn’t
    allowed.
    Grandfather Paradox
    The main problem with Time Travel is the time
    travel theory is unable to answer some
    paradoxes. paradox is a statement or concept
    that contains conflicting ideas. The grandfather
    paradox is a proposed paradox of time travel.
    Considering this paradox time travel can not
    be possible.

    Grandfather Paradox: If the time traveller goes


    back in time and kills his grandfather before he
    meets his grandmother. As a result, the time
    traveller is never born. But, if he was never
    born, then he is unable to travel through time
    and kill his grandfather.

    This creates inconsistent a loop. That can never


    be answered by our theoretical physics.
