Time Oras Tiempo Zeit Tijd Tempo Am

The topic now would be about time, more so time travel. Time travel has been a topic of science fiction novels and mysteries for a while now. The concept of time has always been a curiosity to all, and travel at the fourth dimension is an experience everyone is curious to achieve. The video last Tuesday talks about the possibility of time travel. That time travel had been observed for a long time, not by mankind but by the rays of our sun. The speed traveled by light is so fast that the current one we are observing has passed around 8 minutes already.The attempt for time travel can then be founded on that approach, traveling at speed exceeding light maybe we can travel through time as well.

The problem would now be how can we travel as fast as light? Where can we get the energy to perform such act? Can the human body be fit enough to travel at such speed? The answers to these questions we shall wait for the scientists to answer. Another thing I’d like to consider that was not discussed in the video is how do we travel back? Travelling at such speed allows light to travel in time but only to the future. I do not think there is much merit if we travel forward only to be stuck there. Time travel such a conundrum. We probably have to bend a lot of laws of physics before we can do it, and I do not think anyone has completely understand the laws of this world for it to be possible to bend them. YET. I guess only time will tell.
