Have you ever dreamt of traveling through time??

I'm sure we all have maybe you want to go back to the past to see how things were even change something or would you prefer to go into the future to see how things turn out. Time travel is a mainstay of science fiction with books and movies imagining the benefits and risks of such an ability, but is time travel actually possible? and if so, what do we need to be able to do it to understand? how we might go about traveling through time?We must first, understand what time is classical physics. Saw the concept of time as something that exists for everyone everywhere in the universe, it's independent of any who perceive it and progresses at the same pace for everyone it means that a cause is always followed by an effect never. The other way around something that the structure of the universe relies upon, the problem with this understanding of time though is that it doesn't hold true in all circumstances. That's why Einstein theory of relativity, is seen as one of the most important scientific breakthroughs ever because it explains the changing nature of time. The theory of relativity sees time as one element of four-dimensional space-time and can be influenced by other factors objects moving at high speed for example , experienced hunch slower than those moving with less velocity and there's a similar effect for objects held within gravitational fields on a human level .

This means that an astronaut orbiting the Earth will slower than those of us that remain on the planet, but there are far more unexpected consequences of this takes black holes for example, they assert the greatest gravitational poles of any. No object in the universe are so strong that light itself cannot escape and also causes time to slow down to an extreme level. If you were to say poor Matthew McConaughey and fall into a black hole while looking out into the rest of the universe you would in theory witness hundreds of millions of years , the worth of events before ultimately succumbing to your inevitable fate or get trapped behind. Some bookshelves, if it was even possible to escape a black a hole so much time would have on the outside that life would be completely unrecognizable another cork of time occurs with the speed of light. As you get faster and faster time slows down for you and this continues until you reach the theoretical maximum speed that anything can reach the speed of light. At this speed, the time has slowed to such an extent that things seemingly happen instantaneously imagine for example, a photon of light that is emitted by a star on the other side of the universe it will take even at its incredible speed many millions of years to reach us on earth and be seen by our eyes as a twinkle in the sky for the Fulton, though the journey is instantaneous created and then it reached us in the same instant when traveling at the speed of light.

Time is neutral it travels neither forward nor backward so, if the faster you go the slower time appears for you compared to everything else. Then , this is a potential route for traveling forward in time, you could speed away from Earth and return and many years will pass without you getting much older . The really difficult part of course is going backward in time if at the speed of light time is stagnant then does that mean if you were to travel faster than the speed of light. Then would I work in reverse many researchers think so and there is a theory that, there is actually a subatomic particle that does exactly. This is known as a tachyon. These particles are theoretical and have never actually been observed partly because if the theory is true you would never be able to see them coming towards you. As this event would be occurring in the future . The ideas of cause and effect would work in reverse for tachyons but there are those that believe that harnessing them could be the best route to learning how to travel through time. Another theory is that, wormholes act as tunnels through the fabric of space-time and could create a path between any two places at any given time the idea of relativity actually allows for wormholes to exist but stay steady energy levels required to create one would be astronomical and could result in the formation of a black hole.

Stephen Hawking believed that the radiation feedback which works in a comparable way to the feedback of sound that would make wormholes inherently unstable and unable to keep going for quite a while to be utilized as a time machine, other researchers have suggested a number of ways in which space time could be saddled to permit. Time travel perhaps lasers could be used to create extreme levels of gravity. Quantum physics may allow for the formation of a quantum tunnel between universes and perhaps a string the theory might lead to revelations of how cosmic strings and black holes could enter wine to warp space-time enough to travel back through time.

In the conclusion the notion of time travel has long been of interest to researchers in all of us . At some point or another and for a long , the time it will start to be completely impossible with advances in our understanding about the universe in the last century it was no longer seen as wholly impossible, but there's still an ability that lies well beyond our current capabilities. The law of physics , allow for it to happen and it could very well in the future be something that becomes more of a fact than fiction.

But let me know what you guys think???
