Time Dilation: What Is The Concept Of Time Travel

What is the concept of time travel exactly? Time travel is the action of travelling in time to the past or future. Even though, is it even possible to travel in time and how would you travel through time? Well, according to Einstein's theory of time, it is possible to travel through time by going faster than the speed of light (186282 miles per second). We humans know the goal that we need to reach to actually time travel but the technology that has been developed today is not advanced far enough to reach the speeds needed to travel faster than the speed of light. Although there are some other theories of how we possibly travel through time (this is an incomplete thesis) What are theories that could be used in space to travel through time? One theory of how to time travel as seen in, Time Travel:Theories, Paradoxes and Possibilities,are cosmic strings. In the text it states,”The approach of two such strings parallel to each other would bend space-time so vigorously and in such a particular configuration that might make time travel possible, in theory.”(Elizabeth Howell) The quote explains how cosmic strings that are near each other could possibly allow someone to travel through time in the …show more content…

Well, what is time dilation exactly? Time dilation is the difference of elapsed time from two different locations of different masses. An example of time dilation is an astronaut in space experiences 5 years, but on earth everyone else had experienced 10 years instead of 5 because of time dilation. The proof behind time dilation has been confirmed by physical scientist through experiments. As seen in,Time Travel by Jason Lisle,“Physical experiments have confirmed his calculations. Moving clocks tick slower than stationary ones by exactly the rate that Einstein computed.” This explains how time dilation is confirmed a true possibility and can be possibly used to travel through
