his theory using two synchronized atomic clocks (Brian par2). One clock was placed on a plane and flown for several hours while the other clock stayed on the ground. Upon landing, the clock on the plain was a little slower than the one on the ground (Brian par3). This was not due to experimental error, for the same test was done several times and each time yielded the same results. Because of time dilation travel into the distant future is a definite possibility. The only problem lies in propelling a craft to such speed at which light travels.Carl Sagan wrote a science fiction novel about a fictional device that allowed his character to travel great distances across the universe. “Those faster than light speeds are not achievable; he also knew there was a common convention in science fiction that would allow a gimmick of a shortcut through ‘Hyper space’ as a means around this problem” (Time Travel Institute par2 ) . Sagen turned to Kip Thorne for help for hyperspace connections through space-time (Time Travel Institute par2). A black hole always has two “ends,” a property ignored by everyone except a few mathematicians until the mid-1980s (Time Travel Institute par3 ) . Thorne was sufficiently intrigued to set two of his Ph.D. students, Michael Morris and Ulvi Yurtsever, the task of working out some of the details of the physical behavior of what the relativists know as “wormholes” (Time Travel Institute par3 ). By starting out from the mathematical end of the problem, they constructed a space-time geometry that matched Sagan’s requirement of a wormhole that could be physical traversed by human beings. Sagan was right; hyperspace connections do at least in theory provide a means to travel to far distant regions of the universe without spending thousands of years putting around in an ordinary spacecraft(Time Travel Institute par3 ).Since the 30’s scientists have speculated th...
