Time Travel - Real or Myth?

Time Travel - Real or Myth?  

 “My thoughts about the Un-Realistic Theory of Time Travel”

 








 

From a very long time, the concept of time travel was hammering my mind. Whether it is just an idea or thought shared by human minds through telepathy over generations to explore the possibility of time travel or it is the experience of someone who traveled back in time long back and the stories are being passed over to generations in broken and scattered pieces.

 

The thoughts used to come in bits and pieces but finally felt to give those thoughts a shape and hence writing this article so that people having similar thoughts can read it and give their valuable inputs; It doesn’t matter how many people agrees or disagrees but my objective is just to share my thoughts.

General Perception about Time Travel 

I have watched many movies and heard lots stories and everywhere there is a common phenomena is which says ‘Human can travel back to a particular moment of time using either a time machine, or a wormhole or just magic’.

The greatest example of time travel is from the famous movie series of Hollywood of 80s-90s “Back to the Future” in which a young boy comes in contact with a scientist and got the chance to travel back as well as in future time using a time machine car.

Many other movies from different countries depicted about time travel and changing certain events or moments of that time to impact something from the present time.

Even in our general life, we all sometimes imagine about travelling back to a particular moment of time and change something which may help us to achieve something in our present, say some career goal, some life event, some financial thing etc., or we just want to travel back and live a moment again which we really love or care about.

Scientific Theories about Time Travel 

Have watched many programs and movies on Television about time travel where scientists have used methods and ways like using wormholes which connect our present time with a certain moment from the past or transform our physical body into particles and restructure it after reaching that past time. So there are three ways for time travel which are commonly depicted –

  • ·         Using wormholes or passages to travel physically into the past
  • ·         Transform ourselves into particles using time machine and restructure back in the past.
  • ·         Using magic to go into the past

A Parallel World

There might be a thought of a parallel world somewhere in the universe where our duplicates are living a same life as ours - our clones with clone activities. And the idea is to find out that world, visit there and change the events which may impact our lives here on the Earth.

The idea of parallel world looks interesting and amazing and there is a possibility of other worlds (say human life) in the near or far distance in the universe but similar life or clone life looks impossible. And, by chance, if there is anything like it, it would be a great finding.

The Time

A way of measuring the moments by dividing them into numeric numbers and in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks years etc., basically micro to macro. Time helps to measure the micro part of a day.

So, why is time necessary for us? Because, it helps us to decide certain activities like doing anything at a particular moment of the day like going office, having breakfast lunch or dinner etc. It also helps the general people, scientists, physicists, mathematicians and academicians to observe events and calculate a course of action and set a time to start any activity.

The moment

A moment is a particular part, spot or place of time when any event or action takes place and it is either measured in seconds or minutes; and the action may occur automatically by the natural processes or done by any living being. For example – Rising of the sun and the moment when the light touches Earth or the moment when an Eagle from heights drop down to water and catches a fish etc.

So, is it real travelling the time?

Watching the science fiction movies, reading and listening about time travel stories and theories and seeing few photographic evidences on the web, I always got astonished by the ideas of time travel and sometimes used to imagine myself travelling to the past and make changes in some moments of my past life which might help to change situations of present life.


But for last few years, after continuous thinking and analyzing, I came to a conclusion that time travel (what general perception is) is not possible at all. And why it is not possible, I am explaining below.

Living beings born, grow up with time, lives up to a age and dies when their time is over, it is the biological process which takes places and it pretty natural. The time moves forward as well as the life of living beings too. There is no evidence in human history that any living being lived life backwards or their biological process moved backward. They just grow and die and their age is measured by the time – day, week, month or years and every calculation is in forward way.

 

So it is an ultimate truth that whatever or whoever is born or created, will die or finished when their timeline is over. Plants, animals, humans die naturally or unnaturally and their dead bodies get mixed with the soil (earth), water or fire if burnt; Similarly the non-living beings like stones or materials made up of minerals decays with time and turns up into small particles and mixes with the earth, actually their shape and form changes.

But there are practices in human civilizations too preserve their dead people with a hope of either travelling to another world or born again in future time with the same body.

So when the dead body is buried, it decays and with time converts into minerals and mixed with the soil, when it is burnt converts into ashes and the ashes are either mixed with soil or flown in water or air, ultimately the remains of the dead mixes with the natural elements. Even the bodies which are preserved, over a period of time their flesh gets decayed and they convert into mineral particles.

Hence the ultimate truth is that anything which is born, when their biological time period is over, they get destroyed and there is no chance restructuring again.

 
Conclusion

When, we as biological creatures, live in forward way and by passing time or age, our body decays; Then the idea of time travel is pretty odd as it is impossible to transmit our body into particles and restructure it back in the past time. There are two ultimate truths:-

  • The events took place in any period of time, can be recreated either in the present or future time; But the same time period can’t be repeated with the similar physical bodies existing at that time.
  • Biological body cannot be transformed into particles and reconstructed same as it is. 

However the great minds at work may keep exploring about finding the possibilities of transforming the body into particles and reconstructing the same with searching for wormholes through which we can travel to places into the universe.
