Such an interesting topic.
Whats your take on time travel? Possible? not possible? why or why not?
Assuming you did have some sort of time machine. If you could visit the past, which period would you visit? Who would you meet? would you change history? Or maybe you'd like to visit the future, how far in time would you travel? 100?200? and thousand years? perhaps a million? Oh the possibilities are endless. Me? I go back and visit Jesus, see what kind of man he really was. Me and him would be bff lol. I would convert him, so Mr Jesus..have you heard of this thing called buddhism.Can you imagine a world without the bible?
Okay so we got the when where who and why out of the way. Time travel, is it practical? 50 years ago if you mentioned time travel to any scientist would you of been laughed at and ridiculed for the most part. Today, its openly discussed by many scientists. What was once science fiction is becoming more like science fact. But the question remains, is it possible? Well, I can tell you that time travel to the future is relatively easy. All you have to do is go fast...and I mean really really fast, around 99.9% the speed of light. Consider this, space and time together form the fabric of spacetime. That time and space are all interconnected. The faster you travel through this fabric, the slower time becomes. A light beam for example can circle the earth about 7 times in a single second. Now imagine for a second there exists a train track that is built around the circumference of the entire planet. This train has the ability to accelerate towards near the speed of light. In theory, If you accelerate long enough enough,you will be traveling nearly 99.9% the speed of light. When this happens, time slows down as apposed to the people observing you, time remains constant to them. So potentially if you remain at this speed for a few weeks or months it is possible to come of that train,unchanged but possibly 100 years or so in the future maybe further. So time travel into the future is very practical.
Into the past however, its a different story. Scientists theorize that it could be possible if you used some kind of wormhole. As space is is a fabric know as spacetime. They think it would be possible to somehow rip that fabric and open a wormhole next to the earth and travel through it to get to our past or early earth. While in theory, it is possible. It is highly unlikely. The power needed to rip the fabric of space and time is unheard of. You would somehow need to harness the power of an entire star. Aside from the physics, there are those darn paradoxes that prevent time travel into the past almost impractical. One of which that is constantly brought up is the The grandfather paradox. Which suggests one could travel back in time and kill his own grandfather, this preventing the birth of his father and ultimately,himself. Then, how could of the person have ever travel back in the first place?(such a conundrum)Scientists would argue that one could simply travel to a parallel universe and kill the grandfather of that universe while the grandfather of his universe would remain in tact thus saving his existence. So the Idea of traveling in time and changing history is still largely debatable and uncertain at this point in time.
Whether or not time travel into the past is possible or not is still being debated. But Assuming it is, and you had some sort of time machine. Where would you go? who would you visit? Past or future? Gonna change history? who's history? Got your own take on time travel? Feel free to debate all you want.
