Conclusion.
 WHAT IS TIME TRAVEL

TIME TRAVEL IS THE CONCEPT

OF MOVING BETWEEN
DIFFERENT POINTS IN TIME IN
A MANNER ANALOGOUS TO
MOVING BETWEEN DIFFERENT
POINTS IN SPACE, GENERALLY
USING A THEORETICAL
INVENTION KNOWN AS A TIME
MACHINE. NATURE ALSO
ALLOWED US TIME TRAVEL
THROUGH WORMHOLE,
BLACKHOLE, CROSSING SPEED
OF LIGHT (THEORETICALLY).
 FOURTH
DIMENSION

 The things in our daily life have height, width

and length.
 Assumption of 10 dimesnion

 Travelling in time means travelling through

this
fourth dimension.
WHAT EXACTLY IS TIME?

MOST PEOPLE THINK TIME IS CONSTANT.

PHYSICIST ALBERT EINSTEIN SHOWED THAT

IT WAS MERELY AN ILLUSION.

TIME DEPENDING ON ONE’S SPEED

THROUGH SPACE.

EINSTEIN DECLARED TIME AS THE FOURTH

DIMENSION.

TIME ONLY PROVIDES THE COORDINATE

DIRECTION, WHICH ONLY MOVES
FORWARD.
EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF SPECIAL &
GENERAL RELATIVITY

•Einstein's theory of special relativity describes that the speed of time

depends on how fast you are moving relative to something else

•Ex. If someone in a spaceship flies around the earth at the speed of

light, that person would age much slower than a person back on earth

• Theory of general relativity states that gravity can bend time.

• Einstein proposed the theory of SPECIAL RELATIVITY
and GENERAL RELATIVITY
• It states that space and time are really aspects of
same thing :SPACE-TIME
• According to this time moves differently to different
people corresponding to there relative speed
POSSIBILITIES OF TIME TRAVEL

One possibility of
traveling back in time
would be to travel
even faster than the
speed of light, but even
then it is shown in
Einstein's equations that
one's mass & length
must infinitely be 0.
 However, other scientists
are optimistic about that
it may be done .
 THROUGH WORMHOLES
WORMHOLE a shortcut connecting
two separate points in spacetime that
could connect extremely far distances
such as a billion light years or more,
in theory, different points in time.

• Create a wormhole between

different points in space time
- Space-time is a four-
dimensional fabric that when
bent, causes gravity .

•But wormholes collapse fairly

quickly & would only work for
tiny particles.

•Technology to even create a

wormhole goes beyond anything
we have today.
 BLACK HOLES

•A black hole is a large amount of matter squeezed into a

small area; its gravitational pull is so strong that even light
can’t escape it
• Fly a spaceship quickly around the black hole to
make the big rotating structure
•Would have to travel at the speed of light for this method to
work
 WHAT IS TIME TRAVEL

Black Hole from movie- INTERESTELLAR

But some physicist claimed that the machine used for time travel
can fall apart for the gravitational pull of the blackhole.

This picture shows that how light bend near a blackhole for
strong gravitational pool.
• Time travel is possible, but it does not and cannot
change the past
• The idea of travellig to the violates the basic theory
of universe “CAUSE AND EFFECT”
• Cause and effect theory states that effect cant
happen before the cause happens
 GRANDFATHER PARADOX
The main problem with Time Travel is the time
travel theory is unable to answer some
paradoxes. paradox is a statement or concept
that contains conflicting ideas. The grandfather
paradox is a proposed paradox of time
travel. Considering this paradox time travel
can not be possible.

Grandfather Paradox: If the time traveller

goes back in time and kills his grandfather
before he meets his grandmother. As a result,
the time traveller is never born. But, if he was
never born, then he is unable to travel through
time and kill his grandfather.

This creates inconsistent a loop. That can

never be answered by our theoretical
physics.
• Parallel universes can exist individually, or grouped
together as the “multiverse,” and offer the possibility of
a totally different reality in which someone, or
something, can exist, or hop back and forth between.
• The laws of nature may be different in one parallel
universe as they are in another, and in respect to time
travel, would provide multiple versions of the future
in which someone could exist, or not exist at all.
• Light speed limitations may not exist in a
parallel universe, and the paradoxes that keep us
from traveling back in time would be null and
void if we could jump into a different historical
timeline.
MANY WORLD
INTERPRETATION
• It states that each time a different choice is
made at the quantum scale, a universe arises
to accommodate that choice, thus creating
infinite new worlds popping up all the time.
• Alternate timelines, each with their own
forward arrow of time and their own history,
may exist then, allowing time travelers to jump
into another version of history and override
those pesky paradoxes.
RESULTS FROM RELATIVISTIC EQUATIONS

•Time and distance are relative to each other.

•Approaching speed of light the distance become shortened and
while
time becomes lengthened.
•For a person travelling at 99% of velocity of light, time slows by 7
factor. 1 year is equivalent to 7 years for observer from earth.
•For 99.999% its about 230 years
•For a velocity of light the time factor becomes zero
•When it crosses the velocity of light the time becomes reduced
and
runs in reverse time factor.
CONCLUSION :
 We can go into the future. Time travel to the future
is possible under Albert Einstein’s general theory of
relativity.
 But time travel to the past is impossible. Because it
violates the law of causality, or cause and effect.
