It is possible, but forget the idea of going back to your prime. The concept of time travel in literature and culture goes back a long way, and references to time travel can be found in ancient Buddhist and Hindu texts as far back as 300 BC, and the first science fiction writer Samuel Madden gave the idea in his 1733 novel Memoirs of the Twentieth Century, which details a series of diplomatic letters written in 1997 and 1998. After the novel The Time Machine (1895) by H.G. Wells, the modern concept of time travel became popular and became a staple of films such as The Terminator and Hot Tub Time Machine. It seems that the idea of breaking the power of time is very attractive in people’s imagination, and we are now in the twenty-first century, which is witnessing rapid progress… Are we witnessing any scientific invention that makes time travel a reality? The truth says physicist and philosopher Tim Maudlin, one of the world’s experts in the concept of time travel in physics and metaphysics, a professor at New York University and founder and director of the John Bell Institute for the Foundations of Physics: “The short answer is no. I don’t think there is a universal basis for it, and most stories in movies and novels are inconsistent. He noted that such stories simply don’t align with real science, and that’s okay, they’re not really supposed to align; Time travel in the realm of fantasy is only a narrative device, not a depiction of possible technology. To think of time travel in terms of its potential, we have to divide it into two categories, one moving into the future and the other going into the past. Moving into the future is very easy, we do it every day at a rate of 1:1 minute, and this process can be accelerated through a phenomenon known as time dilation. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, time passes at different rates depending on relativistic motion. A space traveler moving close to the speed of light (90% of the speed of light), for example, would experience time passing regarding 2.5 times slower than people on Earth. If this traveler takes a 10-year round-trip to Earth, he will return to find that 25 years have passed (approximately) for people on Earth. This is not pure speculation. Time dilation has been measured on the microscale using atomic clocks on jet planes, although time travel is very modest: measured in nanoseconds, or billionths of a second. Variations in this fundamental time dilation dynamic can be transferred to more theoretical areas, including black holes, wormholes, and quantum physics. Although we do not currently have the technology to make practical use of these principles, forward-facing time travel is technically possible. Maudlin added that the idea of transporting people into the past is not possible according to the nature of our universe as we know it, and he said: “Time is not the same as space, where it has a direction. Time goes by, we are always getting older, and we just can’t help it. The idea of somehow going from the future to the past goes once morest the very nature of time.” The key to explicitly considering time travel as a possibility in the real world, he says, is recognizing that it’s not just a matter of technology. Unlike tractor beams or holograms, traveling back in time would require a fundamental rethinking of reality as we know it, which is why philosophy has a place in the case of time travel alongside physics. The fact that we should know is that there is no scientific basis in the real world for time travel, whether to the future, or to the past, except for some marginal studies, such as the work of a computer scientist with artificial intelligence to study the dilemma of time travel through the months, the grandfather’s dilemma: if you go back You went back in time and killed your grandfather, so will you exist when you go back to your original time? Algorithms offer some technically logical solutions to the causal paradox, but they also offer strange ones such as becoming a find yourself and being the reason you were born. THE FUTURE Is there any hope for technology to travel between eras in the future? Maudlin acknowledges that there are mathematical models in which different types of time travel might be applicable. Maudlin and a colleague wrote the primary entry on the subject in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (accessed here if you understand physics). Maudlin states in the encyclopedia that mathematical equations regarding time travel exist, in theory, but do not reflect reality. And we might have other options if we were willing to change our definitions a little bit. For example, fiction has long used the idea of time travel via “living cell cryopreservation” or “bio-suspended”: freeze your brain for 100 years, and you’ll wake up in the future. Virtual reality (VR) tools and digital brain simulators offer a similar path. What if you died and you had elevated your digital consciousness in a computerized model that would take you to 13th century Scotland? Maudlin asserts that time travel will always remain a part of our future as a wonderful narrative device, and he says: “You can see why novelists are attracted to time travel, and especially travel to the past, as it reflects regret, and the human feelings associated with it … the time travel tool contributes In bringing to life the idea we all have: If one thing has changed in our past, everything else has changed. This is magical science fiction.” The article was written by Glen McDonald, and it was published in Experience magazine.
