In many movies, the time travel is due to\nunexplainable factors such as a too-close approach to a pretty bulky object\nlike a black hole. &#8220;In Star Trek&#8221;, The Voyage Home, the plot device\nwas a trip around the Sun that cast Kirk and Spock back to the 20th century Earth.\nIn the famous movie series Back to the Future, the actors traveled both in the\npast and future in time. However, it is expressed in stories, traveling through\ntime seems to excite people&#8217;s interest and kindle their thoughts. But, is such\na thing possible? <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The nature of time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to remember that\nwe are constantly <strong>traveling<\/strong> in the future. That&#8217;s the <strong>reality<\/strong> of\nspace-<strong>time<\/strong>. This is why we remember the past rather than\n&#8220;remembering&#8221; tomorrow. The future is mostly unpredictable because it\nhasn&#8217;t arrived yet, but everyone has headed into it all the <strong>time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To speed up the method, to peer\nfurther into the future, to experience events more quickly than those around\nus, what would or could anyone do to make it happen? It&#8217;s a good mystery\nwithout a definite answer. Right now, no one has built a practical <strong>time<\/strong>\nmachine to <strong>travel<\/strong> temporally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traveling into the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nit&#8217;s not possible though to <strong>travel<\/strong> to the future fast than the speed at\nwhich we&#8217;re doing it now, it is possible to speed up the passage of <strong>time<\/strong>.\nBut it only appears in small additions of <strong>time<\/strong>. And, it has only\noccurred so far too quiet a few personalities who have <strong>traveled<\/strong> above\nEarth&#8217;s surface. For them, <strong>time<\/strong> flies at an infinitesimally different\nspeed. Could it occur over more extended <strong>time<\/strong> extents? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According\nto Einstein&#8217;s law of special relativity, the tunnel of <strong>time<\/strong> is related\nto an object&#8217;s velocity. The faster an object moves within space; the more\nmoderately <strong>time<\/strong> passes for it related to an observer <strong>traveling<\/strong> at\na slower speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The outstanding instance of <strong>traveling<\/strong> into the future is the twin paradox. It operates like this take a couple of twins; each 20 years old live on Earth. One catches a spaceship on a five-year trip <strong>traveling<\/strong> at almost the speed of light. The <strong>traveling<\/strong> twin ages five years while on the trip and retreats to Earth at the age of 25. Yet, the twin who stayed back is 95 years old! The twin on the ship felt only five years of <strong>time<\/strong> passing but retreats to the Earth that is enormously distant into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1012\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.sciencepicker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/city-clocks-1012x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks-1012x1024.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks-768x777.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks-450x455.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks-30x30.jpg 30w, https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks-780x789.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.science-pickers.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/uploads\/sites\/182\/city-clocks.jpg 1285w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could we ever travel into the future?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Until we can decide a way out to approach the speed of light and warp energy doesn&#8217;t include, not that we understand how to do that at this period, either, or <strong>travel<\/strong> near black holes or <strong>travel<\/strong> to black holes for that matter without sinking in, we won&#8217;t be capable to do <strong>time<\/strong> <strong>travel<\/strong> any meaningful way into the future. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time travel is a favorite plot device in science fiction stories and films.
