time travel

through time, but they do little to explain what it would be like traveling through wormhole or a closed time-like curve. Quantum mechanics can be used to model possible scenarios and yields the probability of each possible output (Quantum 1). In the context of time travel, it has a so-called “many universe interpretation” (Quantum 2). Huge Evertt III first posed this idea in 1957 (Quantum 2). This means that if something can physically happen it does in some universe. Everett says that our reality is only one of the many equally valid universes. There is a collection of these universes called a multiverse (Quantum 3). Every multiverse has copies of every person, structure and atom (Quantum 3). For every possible event every possible outcome is said to be played out in a different universe (Quantum 3). This interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is quite controversial, but it does suggest that it may be impossible to travel backward in it to our own dimension, but quite possible to travel back in time to an alternate dimension.So now that we know travel through time is theoretically possible, what would it be like? What would traveling at light speed be like? It would be similar to driving our car at 60 mph. You could not really tell the difference; Einstein says that you cannot tell the difference in uniformly moving vessels (Preston 3). According to Einstein’s laws of special relativity light speed travel is not achievable (Preston 3). For any object to attain light speed, an object must be mass less, such as a photon (Preston 3). Any object with mass would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate to light speed (Preston 3). As we know, everything has mass so it would be impossible for any human to achieve these speeds. Another barrier on our traveling the speed of light is the fact that light is pure energy. If we were to travel at that speed, we would turn into energy blobs.What happens when we actually...
