From millennium-skipping Victorians to phone booth-hopping teenagers‚ the termtime travel often summons our most fantastic visions of what it means to move through the fourth dimension. But of course you don’t need a time machine or a fancy wormhole to jaunt through the years. As you’ve probably noticed‚ we’re all constantly engaged in the act of time travel. At its most basic level‚ time is the rate of change in the universe -- and like it or not‚ we are constantly undergoing change. We age

Time may well be the most complex phenomenon known to mankind. Scientists know many things about it yet at the same time know very little. One conclusion‚ however‚ is pretty straight forward. Time travel at least the kind that would be of any use to us is just not possible. Firstly we will focus on a few ideas and questions about time travel. One major question asked by people is: if time travel exists where are all the time travelers? This does seem to be an exceptional question. If

For many years time travel was the stuff of science fiction. This was all just part of the world’s imagination until recently. Scientists now believe that the current laws of physics allow us to travel though time. They believe that we can now travel back to see our founding fathers sign the declaration of independence. We could travel to 2999 to witness the birth of the next new millennium. Such travel would require a machine capable of withstanding great pressures and incredible amounts of speed

there is no way to test them at this point in time. One of these theories is that it would be impossible to change the past. If I were to go back in time and kill my great-grandpa before he had my grandpa then I would have never existed. If I never existed then I could not have gone back in time to kill my great- grandpa. This makes it impossible to change the history of the world in which we live. But this is only one of many theories about time travel. Another theory is that you could make a parallel

16 March 2011 The Phenomenal Possibility Throughout history‚ the plausibility of time traveling has remained at the pinnacle of scientific research. Imagine traveling into the future to see how one’s own life turns out. Surely the human brain could not comprehend how such a feat could be possible. One could determine whether or not he or she has reached their goals in life. One could look into their own future and realize that it is not what they truly desire. He or she could then certainly

Mr. Frederick Time travel is one of the most interesting topic in science fiction. Time travel is usually depicted in movies such as "Back to the Future‚" "Time Machine‚" or Star Trek‚ you will see people hopping in strange machines or using a device that will take them back and forth through time. At one point almost every kid’s dream or science fiction fanatic’s vast imagination consist of some sort of time traveling to change their past or to go to the future. Time travel can fulfill our dreams

or even another galaxy could be skipped by taking a shortcut. Now imagine time as a ribbon with ripples. The same idea could be applied to time. What if you took the ribbon at the base of two ripples and joined it? The longer distance between those two points in time‚ now out in a loop‚ could be skipped by passing where the ribbon touches. There are a few problems though. When travelling through time‚ one can only travel forward. Travelling backward seems impossible because changing something

After travelling successfully though time I met a man by the name of Van Helmont and discussed some results from an experiment he was currently observing. I told him that I was from the future and scientist had discovered how the plants use chemical cycles to feed. I explained to him how plants use photosynthesis and respiration to produce sugars for food then releasing the used energy into our atmosphere. Four main factors needed to produce these processes are sunlight‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ and
