IS TIME TRAVEL POSSIBLE....??

IS TIME TRAVEL POSSIBLE....???

Well, time travel is an imaginary concept which makes everyone get attracted to this concept. Well for a normal being it is not possible to travel in time because for that we need few things:

    • Ability to travel in space faster than the speed of light.

    • Ability to access 4th dimension physically and move.

    • We need to find wormholes in space.

Now let us start explaining each of these in detail.

TRAVEL IN SPACE FASTER THAN LIGHT:

Well in the known universe the speed of the light is the maximum speed that a particle can achieve.  Speed of light is considered to be the maximum speed that an information (of the particle) can gain beyond that no other particle can travel. To travel at the speed of light we an object having mass equals to zero and an infinite energy source.

            Now you may think, why we need to travel at the the speed of light? Let me answer this, according to theory of relativity, as an object moves faster through space, time appears to pass more slowly for that object relative to an observer who is at rest.

            Now let us understand this in detail. Take a number line with zero at the center and having negative numbers at the left and positive numbers the right.

Now let's assume that the numbers are showing the rate of flow of time, let's say it at 4.  Now as the speed of the object in space increases the rate of flow of time decreases, and theory of relativity says that as you move faster in space the will eventually become slower for you,i.e the speed increases the rate of flow of time will become slower and at the moment you reach the speed of light, the time rate will become zero, that means the had stopped for you (only for you but the persons at rest it is like years of time has passed).

            Now you think what will happen if a exceeds the speed of light then what will happen to the rate of flow of time in the number line??

It may go to the negative side, that is it may lead us back in time, which is nothing but time travel.....

            But we can not use this way for time travel missions because it is not possible for an object to have no mass and to have an infinite energy source. The maximum speed achieved by humans in space is 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph), or roughly 1/27,000 of lightspeed. It was done by Apollo 10 by NASA...

Now we'll discuss the 2nd one.

ACCESS 4TH DIMENSION PHYSICALLY:

We humans are familiar with only three dimensions that are length, breadth, and height.  Did you know that gravity and time lies in the 4th dimension?? Well, this extra dimensions theory is explained by Einstein in his theory called General Theory of Relativity (GTR). Well, the existence of the 4th dimension and the dimension beyond 4th is proven and better understandable with these areas of mathematics: Analytical Geometry, Linear Algebra, Topology, Differential Geometry.

These areas in mathematics have proven the existence of the 4th dimension.

            Well, did you know that the rate of flow of time also depends on mass?? Well, it is also mentioned in Einstein's GTR. In his theory he also said that time becomes very slow where the gravity is so strong. It means time almost stops near the black holes. Now, with this help we can say that we stay in the same timeline for more time if we are at the place where gravity is so strong. This is what happens when you stay near the black holes, for you it's just a few minutes or hours, but for the people on earth the time passes very, maybe in years.

             So if you somehow enter into the 4th dimension with your physical body then you can control both gravity and time very easily just like how you work in the 3rd dimension.

TIME TRAVEL THROUGH WORMHOLES:

Wormholes are theoretical constructs derived from solutions in Einstein's field equations in the theory of general relativity. These equations describe how matter and energy curve and interact with spacetime, potentially allowing for solutions that theoretically permit the existence of wormholes. In these solutions, wormholes could be bridges connecting two separate points in spacetime, potentially allowing for shortcuts or passages between distant regions or even different universes. These wormholes can also be used as a time traveling tunnel line. Now you'll be like how?? This thing is explained by Kip Thorne, Carl Sagan, and others who explored the theoretical possibilities of wormholes and their potential use for time travel. These wormholes are those tunnels which connect to spactime something like this.

Instead of going the full way (path traveled by light in red line) if we can find ways through wormholes then we can easily go into that tunnel and take a shortcut. Kip Thorne, Carl Sagan said that these wormholes are not only connected to different places in the universe but also to different timelines in the universe.

              Well, using these wormholes for our time traveling mission is not a good way, because Utilizing wormholes for time travel brings up numerous challenges and paradoxes, such as the "grandfather paradox".

Grandfather Paradox: This paradox raises a question that what happens if a person from present time goes to past and meet his grandfather and kill him before he gave birth to this person's father, then his father couldn't be born then can't marry his mother and can't give birth to that person then he can't go into past then he can't kill his grandfather then his grandfather would be alive then his grandfather will give birth his father then his father will marry his mother and his father will give birth to him and he will go to past and so on.....

             These paradoxes raise fundamental questions about the consistency of such journeys and their compatibility with the known laws of physics.

             Well, according to Kip Thorne and Carl Saganthese wormholes are also connected to different universes also. That means we can travel to the multiverse with the help of these wormholes. Few other theories say that multiverses are real and they formed with but in a different way (other than Big Bang) going on for different destinations. But very few universes from these will have the same kind of formation (Big Bang) and the things inside them are similar to our universes. These universes are called parallel universes. In these universes few of them are ahead forward from us, that means we can say they in future relative to us, and few of them are backward that means we can say they in the past relative to us. So by this if we somehow are able to find ways in wormholes to reach our destination then it can be done.

              But we can't consider this as time travel because by changing things in different universes will affect their universe only not ours. so we can not say or consider this as to be time travel. But we can get information about the past and future, that's it....

              If we keep these ways aside, there are few people who claim that they are from the future and they are time travelers. But none of them are proven to be real time travelers, but due to the popularity of this time traveling concept they got popular too quickly.Here are the details of them. 

  • John Titor: One of the more famous cases of claimed time travel involves a person using the pseudonym John Titor, who appeared on internet forums in the early 2000s. Titor claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036 and made various predictions about the future, but these predictions did not come to pass, and the true identity of Titor remains unknown.

  • Andrew Carlssin: In 2003, reports circulated about a man named Andrew Carlssin, who allegedly made high-risk stock market investments and claimed to have traveled back in time from the year 2256. This story was later revealed to be fake. He is misleading the people.

  • Adam Archon: He is the person who claims that he is from 2045. He had stated some points about the future. For example he says that the time machine was invented in 1981 and kept secret upto 2028. It will be revealed to the public in 2028. He also says that in 2028 we are going to meet the aliens publically, and many more details about the future. This guy passed the lie detector test, you can search for him on YouTube or you can use this link on YouTube to go directly.

 CONCLUSION:

  • It is not possible to have an object with no mass and infinite energy source, because it breaks our known physics laws.

  • With our understanding of physics we can't access the 4th dimension. By Einstein’s GTR, we can only go to the future but not to the past.

  • These wormholes concepts are still theoretical, when we can prove their existence then we use them as means of time traveling.

  • Actually, I don't personally don't know about these people but in my research these people come out to be time travelers, actually so-called time travelers because it is not proven completely. 

THE END…
