"Time Travel" - Fantasy Or Reality

Well firstly what is Time Travel?

Time travel is simply the movement between certain points in time, relative to movement between different points in space by an object or a person, typically in movies or science fiction it is done with the use of a hypothetical device known as a time machine. Time travel is a widely recognized concept in philosophy and fiction, particularly science fiction. The idea of a time machine was first popularized by H. G. Wells' in 1895 in his novel "The Time Machine".

It is uncertain if time travel to the past is physically possible. Forward time travel, outside the usual sense of the perception of time , is an extensively observed phenomenon and well-understood.

Many in the scientific community believe that backward time travel is highly unlikely. Any theory that would allow time travel would introduce potential problems of Causality. The classic example of a problem involving causality is the "grandfather paradox": what if one were to go back in time and kill one's own grandfather before one's father was conceived?

Well one way to time travel would be through the black holes. As time slows down near the black hole it could be a potential way , one can build a super strong spacecraft and can go near a black hole and as time slows down , if someone safely spends time in spacecraft and then returns to the earth for him it would be just an month or so but for the people living on earth it would be a century or two passed since the spacecraft left.

Another way to time travel could be a "Worm Hole".

A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both).

One can enter a wormhole in say a point A in present and can exit through other side on say point B(distinctly far away in space) and can end up time traveling in future. Wormholes are a one way trip in time and cannot be reversed and cannot take you back in past or your present where you entered in the wormhole. But we still haven't found any trace of the wormholes yet but we know they must exist as predicted by the Einstein's theory of general relativity.

So in the end i would only say that time travel is possible but there are still some engineering problems to solve and then we will finally be able to do time travel , but that only to future as time traveling to past is still not possible in theories or any proof that it can be done.

Let's move the solar system - Stellar Engine

Ever thought of if we made contact with other intelligent life form , how are we gonna meet them physically with all the humans on earth? Don't worry there is a solution , and it is "Stellar Engine". Now what is a stellar engine? Simply put it is a hypothetical megastructure which uses a star's energy to propel or move the star and as the star moves the other planets will also move due the gravity of the star. The concept of Stellar engine was first introduced by Badescu and Cathcart. There are three classes of stellar engines : 1.Class A - Shkadov thruster One of the simplest examples of a stellar engine is the Shkadov thruster, or a Class A stellar engine. Such an engine is a stellar propulsion system, consisting of an enormous mirror/light sail—actually a massive type of solar statite large enough to classify as a megastructure—which would balance gravitational attraction towards and radiation pressure away from the star. Since the radiation pressure of the star wo

Accomplishments in 3-D Bioprinting

As the name suggests, in 3-D bio printing the organs or body parts or biological items are 3-D printed using special type of 3-D printers. But Now you can even print "Ebola Virus" or such other viruses as now its "Genome" is publically available. In past years what we thought as impossible is now all possible, we thought of flying cars we get it, we thought of humans in space, we did it. There are a lot of such things that we think today are impossible, but one day they will be possible. Who would have thought that we will be printing viruses but we did. But the much it sounds exciting, it is that much dangerous too as it can be a huge danger to the humans. So we should be careful while handling such a technology.

What are Antiparticles? Is there something that we should worry about?

Simply put , antiparticles are the opposite of the subatomic particles but with different charge and different magnetic properties . For example the antiparticle of electron is a particle with same mass but different charge , in this case positive charge and it is commonly referred to as Positron.. While the electron has a negative electric charge, the positron has a positive electric charge, and is produced naturally in certain types of radioactive decay . The opposite is also true , the antiparticle of the positron is the electron. Particle–antiparticle pairs can annihilate each other, producing photons ; since the charges of the particle and antiparticle are opposite, total charge is conserved. For example, the positrons produced in natural radioactive decay quickly annihilate themselves with electrons, producing pairs of gamma rays . It is not possible to create an antiparticle without either destroying another particle of the same charge (as is for instance the case when antipa
