Time Travel and it´s Theories

852 Words2 Pages

Time travel has always been an ambitious dream in science fiction. Writers such as H.G Wells not only kept their readers mesmerized by great novels such as “The time machine” but also introduced the idea of time travel in the imagination of their readers. Today time travel is not regarded as strictly science fiction. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity permits a unique kind of time dilation that would ordinarily be called time travel. The theory states that, relative to a stationary observer, time appears to pass more slowly for fast-moving bodies. For example, a moving clock will appear to run slow; as a clock approaches the speed of light its hands will appear to nearly stop moving. So if one can move information from one point to another faster than light then according to special relativity, there will be an observer who sees this information transfer as allowing information to travel into the past. One of the greatest scientists of our time Stephen Hawking was once quoted to have said “I do believe in time travel, Time travel to the future. Time flows like a river, and it seems as if each of us is carried relentlessly along by time's current. But time is like a river in another way. It flows at different speeds in different places and that is the key to travelling into the future. This idea was first proposed by Albert Einstein over 100 years ago." A number of people have claimed to be time travelers, for example, Darren Arthur Daulton, who is a former catcher in Major League Baseball, had claimed in a televised interview with ESPN that he has "skipped through time" and has undergone “astral travel”. However, none of these claims have ever been proven true. The concept of time travel is laden with a number o... ... middle of paper ... ...-energy collisions inside the collider may produce artifacts (such as short-lived micro-black holes) that reveal the presence of these predicted extra dimensions. So according to the M-theory, if the Higgs singlet only travels in a fifth dimension, time in our Universe is not of consequence to the particle. Therefore it could be created by the collider in the fifth dimension, and when it decays, its "decay particles" will be detected at an arbitrary time. This arbitrary time could be in the past, before the particle was even generated, or even in the future. Therefore, if physicists see particles spontaneously appearing into existence before a collision in the collider even occurs, this could be indicative of the Higgs singlet decay particles appearing in our universe. I guess we will have to wait and see what secrets of the universe the collider unravels.
