TIME TRAVEL

TIME TRAVEL

Time, what is it? Very often, I questioned the very existence of time. Is it something alive? Or is it just another dimension? Maybe it’s just like a control room, with thousands of screens showing different time zones? If time it is ever used as a weapon in warfare, what will happen?

Not long ago, I found myself attracted to Einstein’s theory of relativity, is it really possible to travel though time? I am very sure that chances of that is a 100%, however, with our current technological limitations and our limited knowledge, it is really impossible to travel through time. Perhaps, some may say, the answer to time traveling is very simple, however, human tend to complicate things sometimes (personal opinion) a very good example will be the invention of modern airplane. A long time ago, two brothers, who were not great scientists or inventor, thought of flying in the sky, if we were to question a scientist during that era, he would surely produce a piece of paper with hideous calculation, but what the two brothers did was just to use wings, and so possible the answer to time traveling could be the word ‘simple’, think about it.

Nowadays, scientist all over the world have different ideas about time traveling, many scientist had the idea of traveling through a black hole. I know, at this point people would question the ‘black hole’ or maybe they would even laugh at the author (yours truly).However, please let me explain, imagine john is on Pluto (lets say the year is 4999 and the technology is super advance), and jenny is on the far side of the universe. Normally it would take jenny 10 minutes to travel to Pluto to meet john, however, on this particular day, while traveling in her spaceship she glanced at her watch, 9.00am (assuming that she had just taken off), suddenly her spaceship rocked vigorously as though it has been sucked into something, then it all became normal suddenly. At 9.10am (on her watch) she reached Pluto only to find that the time was 9.01, a difference of 9 minutes (assuming that time on Pluto is the same as the time one the planet where jenny lived). So what the heck happened? Watch malfunctioned?

Here is the explanation, basically, she just entered a dimension through a black hole and exited through another one. Outside that dimension, every thing slows down, thus (a rough estimation) one 1mins in the dimension is equal to 0.000001s on the outside. And so she was traveling ahead of time in the dimension or so called fast forwarding in time. At this point I know that many readers had already fallen asleep, either they don’t even have any idea about what I am talking about or they understand what I had just mentioned.

If, by chance, you happen to understand what I had just mentioned, you would most likely be dying to harness the power of time (yep, now we’re talking eh, time to wake up).Imagine one day you were very late for school and you were still in your bed with the national anthem starting in 3 minutes. If you happen to have the power to control time, all you need to do is to slow time down and you will have all the time you need out of this pathetic 3 minutes, or maybe you still happen to be very sleepy, you can slow time down by 100 times and sleep for another 20 hours or so out of the 3 minutes left before the stupid alarm clock rings. In desperate cases just as the teacher towards you to collect your so called ‘finished’ homework you can just slow time down and then you will have all the time you will need in your life to complete this pain in the butt homework, after that you could even sleep for 6-9 hours if the teachers lesson is really that boring, walk around a little, you can even punch the teacher or the classmate you hate most ten times straight in the face in a billionth of a second without him noticing. Whatever you do guy or ladies just don’t take advantage of the power given to peep at places in where you should not be peeping (see no evil!)

Well, time is wonderful right? Full of mysteries. Ok then, enough of my boring lecture (I hope no one has punched me in the face yet-_-///), the rest will be up to your imagination, and pls do comment about what you think about time on my blog thanks!

Let your imagination flow
