"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.

5 Mind blowing science fact that you didn't(might) know.

1.The average human body carries ten times more bacterial cells than human cells All the bacteria living inside you could fill a half-gallon jug — there are 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells , according to Carolyn Bohach, a microbiologist at the University of Idaho. Don’t worry, though: most of these bacteria are helpful. In fact, we couldn’t survive without them. 2.Grasshoppers have ears in their bellies Unlike humans, grasshoppers do not have ears on the side of their heads. Like the ears of people, the grasshopper sound detector is a thin membrane called a tympanum, or “eardrum”. In adults, the tympanum is covered and protected by the wings, and allows the grasshopper to hear the songs of its fellow grasshoppers. 3. There is enough DNA in the average person’s body to stretch from the sun to Pluto and back — 17 times There are about 37 trillion cells in the human body, so if you were to uncoil all of the DNA encased in each cell and place the molecule...

Types of Black Holes and there formation.

Some black holes are born when a dying star collapses in on itself. Others through mergers. And some may have started off in an even weirder way. There are namely 4 types of black holes: 1. Stellar-Mass Black Holes The most well-known black holes , stellar-mass black holes, form when a massive star reaches the end of its life and implodes, collapsing in on itself. If the imploding star is between about eight and 20 times the mass of the Sun, however, it won’t form a black hole. Instead, the collapsing material will rebound off its core, causing it to erupt as a supernova. But if the collapsing star is greater than about 20 times the mass of the Sun, its core isn’t strong enough to stop the implosion. In fact, there is no mechanism that can prevent such a star from collapsing into a black hole. Depending on the initial size of the imploding star, the resulting stellar-mass black hole can reach up to about 100 or more times the mass of the Sun. 2. Intermediate Mass Black Holes...

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...
