Could we really travel through time? The short answer is yes! That's right. We all have the ability to leap forward through time, even if we don't realize it. If you wanted to jump to the future, you can simply fall asleep and wake up a period of time later right? Of course that's cheating the question. We'd like to be able to rewind and redo those silly mistakes we made many years ago. who doesn't wish they could rewind and talk to their 15-year-old self? Tell them not to make the mistakes you did (or they will). Or perhaps you'd rather travel 500 years into the future and see those flying cars we were offers by the year 2000. Fortunately, time travel is theoretically possible.

In fact there is no law in physics that prevents time travel. That's right, according to all the laws of physics we know, it's perfectly possible going through time at will. But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Time travel is an extremely dangerous endeavor with devastating consequences, and is particularly riddled with paradoxes.

For example, what if I frequently went back in time and eliminated World War II? Sounds like a brilliant idea right? Countless lives would be saved, I'd be hailed as a idol! Not necessarily. Although I'd be saving lives, I'd also be destroying others London bus Tours. Think about all the technology that we rely on today that was developed during the war, such as jet machines and nuclear power. In fact the world map could be contrasting. We could actually be worse off than simply leaving history as it was.

Another famous time travel paradox is the grandaddy paradox, which basically states that if we were to say for instance, I travel back to a time before my parents were born and forestall my grandaddy from meeting my grandmother. My parents couldn't have met and thus, I would not have been born. Now how could I have gone back in time to prevent my grandparents from meeting in the first place.

So we can see that time travel could be a bad idea, but let's say we really want to go back in time, how would we do it? Well first we need to discover how time works.

Time is something we are all very familiar with, we all know what it is, yet somehow we can't find it, touch it, we can't often interact with it in any way, we can only observe it. Isaac Newton thought this time was constant and never deviated, which will of course make time travel impossible. Even Einstein believed it was impossible, yet it is his equations which make it possible. Einstein theorized that space and time are inexplicably linked in what he refers to as "space-time". So theoretically, if i was to warp space with something extremely powerful like a black hole, I would also be warping time. While this appears to be true and scientists continue to explore its possibilities, the real possibility for time travel, seems to be in his other theory; Relativity. In fact time travel using relativity it isn't just a theory, that it is been done, once or twice! Now you probably think I'm crazy but the secret seems to be in going fast.
