The Possibility of Time Travel


What is TIME TRAVEL?
• Time travel is the concept of movement (often
by a human) between different points in time
in a manner analogous to moving between
different points in space, typically using a
hypothetical device known as a time machine.
• Time travel have been a major topic of debate
in academical circles since a long time.
• It has often been the crux of many fictional
P.S.
grounds. This is not a time
• BUT to what extent, science supports the idea machine.
of time travel? And is it a possibility in the
near or far future? Lets see.
Probable methods of time travel
• FLT (Faster Than Light)

• Using wormholes
Lets start with Einstein.
• Einstein’s Theory of Relativity brings forth the
possibility of time travel and also a cosmic singularity.
• Time dilation is a experimentally verified
phenomenon and thus, in theory, travelling to the future
is a plausible hypothesis.
That if you could accelerate at the speed of light, then
you would actually be suspended in time and could travel
way into the future.
• Astronauts are time travelers because they
experience time dilation and are therefore slightly
younger than if they would have stayed on Earth.
• Einstein said that time is like a river in which there is
the possibility of bending time through a whirlpool in the
river, or the river forking off into two (or more) rivers.
Wormholes
A wormhole or Einstein-Rosen
Bridge is a hypothetical topological
feature that would fundamentally
be a shortcut connecting two
separate points in space-time. A
wormhole, in theory, might be able
to connect extremely far distances
such as a billion light years or
more, short distances such as a
few feet, different universes, and
different points in time. A
wormhole is much like a tunnel
with two ends, each at separate
points in space-time.
Is it possible????
• Not yet. But experiments have been conducted.
• Lijun Wang was able to send packages of waves
through a bulb of cesium gas in such a way that
the package appeared to exit the bulb 62
nanoseconds before its entry.
• Physicists Gnter Nimtz And Alfons Stahlhofen,
of the university of Koblenz, claim to have
transmitted photons faster than light.
But there are problems
• To move with or even comparable to the speed of light
a REALLY LARGE amount of initial kinetic energy is
required. Harnessing this mount of energy today is
impossible.
• We evidently have no visitors from the future. At least
none with fair evidence.
• It seems improbable but not impossible.
