This summer I went to my grandma's house and found a time machine. In the process of checking it out my hand hit a button, and I was accidentally sent back to the time of King Arthur. I met some Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur. Then, on my way back King Arthur managed to, somehow, come along too. Now my grandma and I are on our way to try and put him in back in his own time.
"Is that everything?" hollers Grandma from the kitchen.
Looking in the backpack of food, I call back, "I think so, but we seem to be missing the gummy worms."
"I have them," she says as she walks into the pantry, "They're good too." I watch as she eats one.
"Grandma! We need those for the trip," I squeal. Quickly, I snatch the bag and stick them in the backpack. I finish zipping up the backpack and ask, "Besides, don't we need to check on King Arthur?" To answer my question, we both hear a loud crash and someone swearing.
" Come on," my grandma says warily, "Let's go tell Arthur where he is." As we walk up to the attic we hear more clanging. Slowly we creep up the ladder to the attic. I look around fo...

  • Did King Arthur Truly Exist?

    779 Words  | 2 Pages

    Who was King Arthur? Most people would tell of a great King; a devoted circle of heroic knights; mighty castles and mightier deeds; a time of chivalry and courtly love; of Lancelot and Guinevere; of triumph and death. Historians and archaeologists, especially Leslie Alcock, point to shadowy evidence of a man who is not a king, but a commander of an army, who lived during the late fifth to early sixth century who may perhaps be the basis for Arthur. By looking at the context in which the stories of King Arthur survived, and the evidence pertaining to his castle Camelot and the Battle of Badon Hill, we can begin to see that Arthur is probably not a king as the legend holds.

    The Arthurian cycle shows a sporadic awareness of the impossibility of mere humans fulfilling all the ideals that Arthur and his court represent.

They can't find the Time Traveler. After a while he comes, and says he has been traveling through time. He tells his story. At first the time moves a bit faster than normal. He can see someone entering the laboratory very quick. Then the time starts moving more quickly. The laboratory disappeared. When he stopped the machine, he was in a sort of garden in a new world. 802701 Description of the New World. The human race was split in to parts, the Eloi and the Morlocks.

  • Exploring Time Travel

    3040 Words  | 7 Pages

    An essential requirement for the possibility of time travel is the presumption that future and past were somehow real. But according to one popular view only the present is real, and to suppose that the past or future are also real is to suppose that the past and the future are also present -- a contradiction. According to this sort of Heraclitean metaphysical conception, the future is genuinely open: there is no realm of determinate future fact, no denizens of the future to identify or talk about, though of course -- in the fullness of time -- there will be. Travel to the future on this view would be ruled out because there is simply nowhere to go.

  • The Quality Query of Time Travel

    1896 Words  | 4 Pages

    Since the beginning of time itself, man has been dreaming of time travel. The current model of physics shows no obvious doubts towards the possibility of time travel, which leaves many questions (“Quantum Time Travel”). If the quarrel for time travel holds any truth, how will man manifest the means of going about it? Before the theories set forth by the men and women in the scientific community can be understood, one must have at least a general knowledge of the basics behind quantum mechanics, as well as the estimable; Einstein’s, theory of space-time. Also, in a world where time travel occurs, there is the possibility of a paradox, or impossible situation caused by the travelers’ actions. Many answers to the paradoxes have been set forth by notable people. Possibly the most widely accepted theory of time travel, Einstein’s black hole theory, still holds prevalence to this day. Some other theories have come to light recently, and most are yet to be disproved.

  • Time Travel: The Special Relativity Theory Of Space And Time

    1365 Words  | 3 Pages

    Scientists observe that time travel is a phenomenon that all of humanity experiences. To illustrate, I have moved forward from last year and so have others. Everyone travels through time at a rate of one hour per hour. The true question behind the time travel conundrum is if we can travel faster or slower than the normal rate of one per hour. One of the greatest minds of the 20th century, Albert Einstein, developed a theory to explain time. The Special Relativity theory posits that space and time are sides of the same coin: space-time. The speed limit of all things that travel through the space-time continuum is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometres per hour. Light travels at the speed limit in an empty space. The theory goes on to say that as an object travels through space-time relative to

  • The Negative Effects Of Time Travel

    1605 Words  | 4 Pages

    Time Travel has always struck close to the imagination of the minds. From H.G. Wells ' "The Time Machine" to blockbuster films like "Back to the Future" - for years, time travel was the stuff of science fiction and crazy-eyed mad men but as physicists approach the subject of time travel with new advances in scientific theories and equipment, the possibility of time travel has become a more legitimate field for scientific endeavours. This paper will argue the possibility of time travel and the positive effects that this discovery will bring forth to modern day society: technological advancements.

    The future depicted by H.G. Wells in The Time Machine is plausible, but only in certain ways such as the idea of the working class eventually surpassing the rich upper class and gradually taking over. In the future depicted by H.G. Wells we can see that he very clearly highlights the class distinction between the rich and the poor. This future created by Wells is one where society has evolved so much that there is no longer a need for any kind of improvement. The society they live in is one without need for medicine, weapons, or even technology. The Morlocks are the working class who live underground beneath the Eloi, they work to support the Eloi but eventually we learn that they have begun to eat their upper class rulers known as the Eloi. H.G. Wells creates a future where society has evolved so much that it has actually devolved and restored earth to something representative of prehistoric times. This future created by Wells is definitely possible in some respects but in looking at if this physical prediction is plausible, then it loses some of its weight. The future where humans have devolved back to the point of being fragile, dumb, useless creatures as embodied in the Eloi is a little much to believe in, but the premise of the lower class staging a mutiny is one the on small scales has already happened in society and could certainly transpire in the future.

  • The Death of the Legendary King Arthur

    538 Words  | 2 Pages

    The legend of King Arthur has intrigued generations for over a thousand years. Over these years, this tapestry has been handed down through the hands of many gifted storytellers. Bits and pieces were taken out and replaced by new strands woven in to fabricate a slight variation of the original that’s suitable for the audience or perhaps the storyteller himself. These modifications are evident in the 1981 film of Excalibur and Thomas Malory’s “Le Morte d’Arthur” published in 1485. The film incorporates magical acts while religious allusions are portrayed in the text. There are several characters that appeared in one but not the other. The two versions have the same essential elements, but with some alterations. The main changes in the story plot are the events leading to the battle and the battle itself.
