Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible. — Stephen Hawking

Time Travel, as soon as you hear this word your face becomes curious. We have heard a lot of stories, theories, devices, about time travel. In this post, I had tried to cover almost every question which a curious person can think about Time Travel.

The content of the guide includes:

What is time travel theory?

Is it possible to travel back in time?

Time Travel Stories that seem to be real.

Name of Time Travelers.

Real time machine is present or not?

List of Top 15 Time Travel Movies.

Was time travel machine present in ancient days?

1. What is time travel theory?

Time travel is a very simple concept in which a person can go at any time with some special type of vehicle. Many scientists have given many theories about it but the credit to popular theories goes to Albert Einstein. Einstein’s special relativity theory says that time speeds up or slows down depending on how fast a person is moving. If a person is approaching with the speed of light, he with age much slower compared to a person who is sitting at home.

The Black Hole Theory

If a spaceship starts rotating around a black hole, then the astronauts sitting inside it will start time traveling. Imagine if they have circled it for around 20 years then on earth 4o years have been passed. But to make it possible the ship has to rotate with the speed of light.

The Time Machine Theory

The time machine theory is most popular theory is this context. But currently, there is no proof of any time machine being developed.

2. Is it possible to travel back in time?

We can hear this common question in our college days “Is time travel possible?”. Yes, it is possible. But as per the theories explained above we need a lot of energy and resources which are not available currently. So, we have to wait for few more days to make it possible. Suppose you are reading a blog in 1800, I hope it must have written down something like this “Can we ever communicate with each other with the help of some device other than sending letters or pigeons with the message”. But let’s see what is going on currently we have succeeded in making cell phones to communicate with each other who are living far away from us. Just like that, a time will come when we will develop a time machine so that we can see the future or the past.

3. Time Travel Stories that seem to be real.

There are many stories in which people claim they went to their future or their past. Let me tell you a few one

Andrew Carlssin case

In 2003, FBI arrested a man named Andrew Carlssin on the request of Securities Exchange Security Commission, as he was accused of making 350 million from 800 dollars in just two weeks. When asked about this, Carlssin told the police that he was from the year 2036 so it was easy for him to predict the Stock Market. Well, this seems too much fishy because hopefully, we have never heard of anybody making 350 million from $800 in just two weeks in the real world. Well, he just disappeared from everywhere.

Later FBI and SESC both denied that they had ever known any person named Andrew Carlssin.

Håkan Nordkvist case

In 2006 a man named Hakan Nordkvist came back home in the evening and found that a lot of water was spreading in the kitchen. After some effort, he found that the sink in his kitchen was leaking the water, he tried to look inside the sink in search of the fault. He then felt that he is going inside and felt like an entry into the tunnel when he finally came out of the next side, he found that he was in 2042. And the best part was that he met his future Hakan Nordkvist. They discussed many things and they both were having the same tattoo. He even took a selfie with him. Well, it’s all upon you to believe it or not.

Sir Victor Goddard case

In 1935, Air Marshal Sir Victor Goddard was flying from Andover, England to Edinburg. In his flight, he passed through airfield in Drem, Scotland. This place was abandoned for many days, so they were farms everywhere and cattle’s have made their shelter. While returning from Edinburg, he chose the same route through Drem, as he was about to reach Drem he met with a storm, he tried to handle his plane anyhow and suddenly the storm, rain disappeared and the sky was clear. And now when he looked at the Drem Airfield it was quite different as it was totally changed. It looked like it was totally renovated and there were four planes standing there and were painted with yellow color as there were no yellow airplanes as per his knowledge, and the mechanics were wearing blue color shirts (at that time it was brown not blue). When the plane was about to cross Drem airfield the storm again came back but luckily Sir Victor Goddard managed to escape and finally landed his home safely. When he told his friends about this mysterious incident, as of course, nobody believed it.

But the amazing thing occurred after four years when in 1939, Drem airfield was renovated, planes were painted yellow and mechanics were told to wear the blue dress. It was exactly what Sir Victor Goddard had previously seen four years ago.

4. Name of Time Traveler’s

There are many people who claim that they have traveled through time or deliver a parallel universe theory but here we will list only few that are most popular.

Andrew Carlssin

Father Pellegrino Ernetti developed “chronovisor” through which he can see future or the past.

J.Bernard Hutton and Joachim Brandt, a reporter in German newspaper saw the bombing of Hamburg in 1932 whereas the actual bombing was done in 1943.

5. Real time machine is present or not?

“Is there a time machine in real life?” This is the most common question which comes to our mind whenever we think of time traveling. Well not to be sure but if it was made in the ancient times or during Tesla’s time, then it must be present somewhere hidden or at some barren place. As you can clearly understand the power of the time machine, it can change the future of a person or a person can change is present from going into the past. If it went into wrong hands or something notorious then the consequences will be more hazardous than a nuclear war.

7. Was time travel machine present in ancient days?

There are various incidents of the past which prove that travel machine was present in the ancient days. If we look into Ancient mythology then we can find a lot of references of the time machine.

King Raivata Kakudmi (Hindu mythology)

Once he went long to meet the Brahma(Creator) and lived there for few days. But to his shock when he came back to earth 108 yugas(1 Yuga= 4 million years(Approx)) had been passed.

Urashima Taro (Japanese Mythology)

Urashima Taro was a person who was said to visit the palace of the Dragon God Ryujin which was submerged under water. His journey was for three days, but when he returned from the water, 300 years had already passed.

Well, these were quite ancient examples of time travel. Now let me tell you about something new that happened in the year 1943.

The Philadelphia Experiment

In 1943, the US government tried to teleport a ship so that it shouldn’t come under the radar. When the experiment started the ship became invisible for some time. But when the ship was visible again many of the members were killed, many became mentally unstable. It is rumored that during the time when the ship was invisible it was seen in Norfolk, Virginia. It was a fair example of time travel evidence. However, U.S Navy denies that this type of experiment ever happened.
