    The document discusses the concept of time travel through history, physics, and personal views. It explores ancient myths depicting time travel, examines physics theories suggesting time travel could be possible through spacetime geometries, and notes that while no successful time machines have been built, experiments are ongoing to achieve it. The author believes time travel is possible but should be handled carefully.

    What is time traveling ?

    Time travel is the concept of movement


    between certain points in time, analogous to
    movement between different points
    in space by an object or a person, typically
    with the use of a hypothetical device known
    as a time machine.
    History of the time travel concept

    Some ancient myths depict a character skipping


    forward in time. In Hindu mythology, the Vishnu
    Purana mentions the story of King Raivata Kakudmi,
    who travels to heaven to meet the creator Brahma and
    is surprised to learn when he returns to Earth that
    many ages have passed. The Buddhist Pāli
    Canon mentions the relativity of time. The Payasi Sutta
    tells of one of the Buddha's chief disciples,
    Kumara Kassapa, who explains to the skeptic Payasi that
    time in the Heavens passes differently than on Earth.
    The Japanese tale of "Urashima Tarō",first described
    in the Manyoshu tells of a young fisherman named
    Urashima-no-ko ( 浦嶋子 ) who visits an undersea
    palace. After three days, he returns home to his village
    and finds himself 300 years in the future, where he has
    been forgotten, his house is in ruins, and his family has
    died. In Jewish tradition, the 1st-century BC
    scholar Honi ha-M'agel is said to have fallen asleep and
    slept for seventy years. When waking up he returned
    home but found none of the people he knew, and no
    one believed his claims of who he was.
    The Physics involved

    Some theories, most notably special and general


    relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of spacetime or
    specific types of motion in space might allow time travel
    into the past and future if these geometries or motions
    were possible. In technical papers, physicists discuss the
    possibility of closed timelike curves, which are world
    lines that form closed loops in spacetime, allowing objects
    to return to their own past. There are known to be
    solutions to the equations of general relativity that
    describe spacetimes which contain closed timelike curves,
    such as Gödel spacetime, but the physical plausibility of
    these solutions is uncertain.
    Is it possible ?

    • Up until now no individual scientist or scientific


    organisation has ever created a successful time
    machine which could travel back and forth in time.
    But attempts have been made.
    • People claiming they have arrived from the future
    are also present, but it is to be confirmed whether
    these individuals are conveying the truth or that it is
    just a hoax.
    • But many advanced experiments are being
    conducted by organisations like NASA to achieve
    time travel.
    Personal views

    I think time travel is possible and to achieve it,


    it will take a few more decades to invent a
    successful time machine. But it is to be
    handled carefully, as such machine in the
    wrong hands can bring unimaginable
    catastrophe.
    Conclusion
    The conclusion is not that time travel is
    impossible, but that we should treat it the
    way we treat the possibility of, say, tossing a
    fair coin and getting heads one thousand
    times in a row.
