Time Travel
Time travel is the stuff of legends and stories. H.G. Wells is perhaps the most famous purveyor of this theory, while many others followed into his footsteps. Numerous television shows have used time travel theories to create believable plots that sometimes will better humankind while other times shows are crafted that speak of the dangers of mucking about the future and also the past. Time travel itself has not yet been achieved, if one can believe the scientists who are actively working on the philosophy of time travel. On the other hand of the equation are the likes of Andy Pero who claim to have participated in time travel as unwilling participants in secret government experiments. While the destination time travel may still be lurking somewhere in the future, the art – or perhaps science – of time travel has nonetheless made it into the mainstream by the many time travel movies that have been made over the years. Is time travel possible? If you believe that in “presentiism” – which is simply a fancy term denouncing the existence of an active past or present – then you will tell others not to bother setting their time travel clocks since these destinations simply do not exist. If you do not fall into this camp, then the odds that you are a firm time travel believer will be high. Some believe that flight time travel is the only way that it can be achieved, while others claim that instructions on time travel could be found in the sacred texts of the ancients, especially the Egyptian scrolls.
Yet whether time travel is a real possibility or simply a fancy fodder for literature, the philosophy of time travel has enthralled many already and several have come forward to claim that they have either traveled in a time travel machine already, or that they are close to perfecting the first working models of time travel devices. Whatever the case may be, at this point in time it is too early to ascertain which direction time travel research will go in, and it is still anyone’s guess if these plans will ever come to fruition. In the meantime, time travel makes for some wonderful speculation!
