Today, I will be discovering and researching the fundamental concept of going faster than the speed of light in order to travel back in time. "Faster than light?", you ask? Well, it might seem a bit odd, but if you know Einstein's famous theory of relativity, then you will understand.... kind of...
I have actually found this type of information before, looking for theories. Of course, like every great thinker, I used the internet. Again, I used Google to search up stuff. Very resourceful aren't I? I came across one very interesting website who seemed to really know what they were talking about. This website was the LiveScience site.
LiveScience described the theory of time travel by going faster than light to great extent, explaining how the theory worked. But, what interested me first of all was that physicists are actually changing their mind about the possibility of time travel because of one such discovery: they found subatomic particles, called neutrinos, going faster than light. If this experiment is actually confirmed, the thoughts of time travel could actually be confirmed as well!
Now, onto the theory of relativity. When I first found this information, it came as a surprise to me how it actually worked in the case of time travel. It's a bit complicated to think of, I know, but it actually makes sense once explained a bit more. It works like this: When you accelerate toward the speed of light, your experience of time changes in such a way, that a second for you, at that speed, would be much longer for the people traveling at normal speed. So, in relation to you (approaching light speed), the outside world becomes slower. Then, once you hit light speed, it stops. So, if this is the case, if we EXCEEDED light speed, would time flow backwards? With the information given to us, this type of theory would actually make some sense.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of barriers to approaching, as well as breaking light speed, but if we could, time travel, as we know it, could actually be accomplished. So far, we already found neutrinos to achieve it, now we will need to figure out how we make a whole living body achieve that.... Maybe a radioactive boost? Hmm...
Anyway, NEXT TIME, we will be exploring, already existent cosmic phenomena, or more plainly, the black hole.
Goodbye! And if your head hurts from thinking about light speed and relativity and such, that's good BECAUSE it is a sign I am making progress in educating you. Till we meet again, in good fortune and fancy bow ties.
