Depending on what you believe, the Universe began with a big bang theory or was summoned into existence by some great force or nebular theory, or perhaps all of them or neither. But it did have a beginning. But we have a lot of arguments and controversies regarding our origin. It is obvious that religious people will say that entire galaxy is the gift of god. But there is again a question raised in people’s mind about the origin of the god. It is believed that it took billions of years to form our solar system but none of the people can give the satisfactory answer about the formation of the planet and entire solar system. Not only that, there was so many life in the ancient time i.e. dinosaurs, mammoth, mega-piranha, etc. And people are not able to give enough satisfactory answer to that question too. But, what if we can travel back in the past millions of years ago and see the live event and come again in the present with all the answers?
Time is a measurement of the duration of different events. In ancient period time was predicted by the movement of the sun and looking close to the shadow. Nowadays, we have advanced and made a watch or clock to look towards the time. Again, what if we have some gadget using which we can go back to different event i.e. notifying Abraham Lincoln about his assassination, informing Japan about the massive bombs, etc. Also, we can go in the future and find upcoming events in the present. All these sounds dramatic and a part of some sci-fi movies. Considering the importance of the time traveling machine scientists are still unable to build the time machine. Some scientists and other genii have concluded that time travel is not possible, but others, including myself, disagree. Time travel is completely possible it’s just that the conditions for it to happen are difficult to accommodate. Even Einstein whose technology was significantly less than what there is now found a way to travel to the future difficult to achieve but possible. In terms of time travel in the past there are relatively simple ways to see the past, but if the person wanted to travel to the past it would be significantly harder.
But, there are lot of controversies regarding the time travel. Many people have claimed about the proof and existence of time travel.
There are so many incidents which have audio, video and pictures as a proof to argue about the possibility of time travel. Like, the tunnel in Guizhou Province, China. The news was popular in China and caught an attention of many people. It also became the focus of an investigation after hundreds of people reported going back in time once they exited the 400-metre structure. Most people reported gaining an hour in time after continuing their drive outside the tunnel, as their mobile phones had gone back exactly 60 minutes. The phenomena became so well known that one journalist working for the Gui Yang Evening News decided to carry out an experiment. He drove through the tunnel - and about the five-minute journey - ten times, and reported gaining an hour on eight of the trips.With no apparent explanation, and the time gain baffling so many people, conspiracies and theories have abounded online, including everything from real-time travel to alien abductions. This was posted on neowin.net: "Clearly the drivers have missing time, and were probed by aliens." Local TV media said science had come up with a mundane explanation. It was said to be later found that a phone transmitter on one side of the tunnel was sending out an incorrect signal, which put phone clock's times back by an hour, and it was put right after they zapped a correct one further up the road. Others have suggested it is a magnetic anomaly. (Gui)
According to Time Travel: A New Perspective, by J. H. Brennan, "In 1935, while still a Wing Commander, he was sent to inspect a disused airfield near Edinburgh at a place called Drem. He found it in a very dilapidated state with cattle grazing on grass that had forced through cracks in the tarmac. Later that day, he ran into trouble while flying his biplane in heavy rain and decided to fly back to Drem to get his bearings. As he approached the airfield the torrential rain abruptly changed to bright sunlight. When he looked down he saw the airfield had been completely renovated and was now in use. There were mechanics in blue overalls walking around and four yellow planes parked on the runway. One of these was a model which, for all his aviation experience, he completely failed to recognize." (New Perspective)
While talking about time travel there is one term called parallel universe or third dimension which is always introduced. Physicists proposed that many objects in space that appear to be black holes may be wormholes. And while the common idea of a wormhole is generally a kind of shortcut through space-time (like a hole in a folded-up sheet of paper), they could also be gateways into other universes. In a 2007 article titled “Could black holes be portals to other universes”, New Scientist highlighted research proposing that some black holes may actually be wormholes. If so, and if we could survive such a journey, we could possibly venture into these wormholes and travel into “another universe on the other side.” However, even traveling into a typical black hole could give us little curiosity and hope about time traveling, which leads us on a journey into a parallel universe. Talking about a parallel universe, we cannot forget about conspiracies about Mandela effect. A lot of people are claiming we are traveling in an alternate universe; that is the people started to talk about the Mandela effect. According to conspiracies, a lot of people remember there was something in past but in future, those things are erased with its existing proofs. So, conspiracy theory says that we travel in both future and past and that is the reason we remember seeing the proof. (Black hole)
In Hindu religious book, they already have discussed traveling in time. An interesting fact is that scientists now have found the use of modern equipment or more advanced gadgets for more than thousands years ago. A lot of conspiracies also claim that thing is future and due to some reason we are in past and due to Mandela effect people remember that things. As published in The Siberian Times, “the Mongolian woman, aged between 30 and 40, went to the next life wearing not only her modish footwear but also with a striking clutch bag that could find modern admirers - and no less than four changes of clothes. A comb and a mirror from her beauty kit were also found, yet despite her, seemingly lavish possessions archaeologists reckon she was an "ordinary" women of her epoch, neither elite nor royal. She was buried with a horse and a saddle with metal stirrups in such good condition that it could be used today. Scientists believe the woman died up to 1,100 years ago in the Altai Mountains after suffering a serious head wound, but the cause is not clear. Her remains - and those of the horse and ram's head she was buried alongside - were preserved remarkably well. Some skin and hair is seen on her remains which were wrapped in felt. Her trademark felt boots - boasting red and black stripes - have been carefully cleaned after a millennium in her burial chamber.” (Siberian Times)
Albert Einstein said that we can travel in time if and only if we can travel in the speed of a light. Ben Tippett, a mathematics and physics instructor at UBC's Okanagan campus, recently published a study about the feasibility of time travel. Tippett, whose field of expertise is Einstein's theory of general relativity, studies black holes, and science fiction when he's not teaching. Using math and physics, he has created a formula that describes a method for time travel. There was also a news published that, Australian scientists are close enough to solve the riddle of a time travel. Let us hope that this invention will help to maintain peace and harmony not only in the earth but also in the whole galaxy.
