time travel

ir effect (Relativity 3). The next step would be to put one of these machines on a space ship and send it off at near light speed. The ship would take the machine on a journey while being connected to the other on earth via the wormhole (Relativity 2). A step in the hole would take us to where the other machine is, but that would be in a different time. Its use would be somewhat limited because we could not travel to a time before the machine was created (Relativity 1). However if we were to utilize wormhole technology we would have to be so advanced that we could master the energy within black hole.Space-time consists of portraits or events that represent a particular place at a particular time. Your life forms sort of a worm in space-time. The tip of the tail is your birth and the head is your death. And everything that is the body is your life, otherwise called your world line (Gribbin 1). In three-dimensional space, a rocket that is not accelerating is stationary, but in four-dimensional space the ship is moving along its world line (Gribbin 2). Einstein’s law states simply that the world line of every object is a geodesic in the continuum. A geodesic is the shortest distance between two points but in curved space is not generally a straight line (Gribbin 1). If an object’s world line were to be distorted, so much as to form a loop connected with a part on itself that represents an earlier place in time it would create a corridor to the past (Gribbin 1). Picture a loop to loop that runs into itself as it comes around. This closed loop is called a closed time-like curve. These curves could be used to travel into our own history.All the claims made about time travel are consequences of the basic scientific laws and standard quantum mechanics (Quantum 1). Wormholes and closed time-like curves appear to be the main way to travel to the past. The aforementioned theories do fine in explaining how we would go about traveling ...
