Time Travel: Possible or a sci-fi myth? by Cameron Webb Time Travel, it is very easy, infact we do every single day but only in one direction! For thousands of years scientists and philosophers have refered to time as a river that flows steadly forward year after year, but the big question on their mind was if there was a way to swim against the flow of the river, like a salmon returning to their breeding ground or maybe a way to run down the bank ahead of the the river? Could we be able to journey back and forth in time? The funny thing is that the idea of "Time Travel" is not as absoured as it might sounds! If time machines are possilbe, it would be likely that someone in the future would have already consturcted one and might of already visted us in 2009! But like in Back to the Future, But happens if some one in the future invents a time machine and ventres through the river of time and mets his teenage mother and falls in love with her and as Dr Michio Kaku said "You're in deep do-do" but Dr Kaku and many other scienctists say that the river of time forks into two rivers and so you jump stream. This rules out the possiblity of you never being born in the future, as the woman that you have just met when you went back in time is genecticully the same as his mother, talks like his mother but it is NOT HIS MOTHER, as his mother fell in love with his father. So your "fake" mother is your mother in a pararell univeres. So you saved Steve Irwin from being stung from a Sting-Ray but this is not our Steve, history is our own history, you cannot change the past, but what you have done is changed some else's past in the Parallel Univeres. (phew) If humans do not step up to the task, then maybe creatures from other intelligent lifeforms may take a stab at it, like the Goulds in Star-Gate. They created a rotating Cylinder through time which enabled them to concour other planets and taking woman as hosts for thier creature in side of them called the Gould (very good series, I would advise you to watch it) This is what it looks inside the Stargate when all your matter is torn up and then put back together when you reach the other stargate (pretty awesome) So Far we have managed to avoid being visted from time travelling jockies for a very good reason, Time tourism is unlickly the poblem,: Theoretically time machines have a very limited capacity! End of Part 1, in part 2 I will continue this atricle and I my touch upon the three possible ways of time travel!
