Time Travel” is to shine light on the idea of time travelling, because it is
not as impossible as it may seem, and could work if put work into. “The
laws of physics as we know them now don’t disallow time travel,”
explains the 57-year-old Nahin. “Anything that physics doesn’t forbid

4. The type of evidence that is used in paragraph 1 is real evidence because

which experts use. “According to Hawking’s writings, is that “we have not been
invaded by hordes of tourists from the future.””

complicated as it seems.
