The First Factor: Time Travel

Welcome back to TARDIS Talk!

For the next few weeks, we will be exploring the TARDIS's main function: Time Travel. I will be researching what time travel truly is, and how it can be achieved. This is a VERY big concept, with its many questions on the possibility for us to even achieve it, and the many other theories on how it may actually be possible.Of course, we will be talking about backward time travel as well as forward, but for the time being, we will be focusing on how time may even be traversed in general. 

There are many theories on how time travel can be achieved, so I googled the theories to see what I could get. I stumbled upon a website, Space.com, which thoroughly described the various theories. 

I found various premises in the research. A popular theory, being Einstein's theory of special relativity, addresses time slowing down or speeding up, depending on your speed, relative to something else. Then there are other assumptions for time travel such as the wormhole, the black hole, general relativity, and (for all you Whovians) the Time Vortex. There are many thoughts of time travel out there in the world, which I will be addressing some, if not most, of. 

So, Time Travel, traveling to and fro from point to point on the timeline of the world/universe. This is what I will be covering for the next few weeks or so, and hopefully I'll be able to cover enough ground to have an idea for what to do in the actual construct. What I'll have to find out first: What will I have to do to achieve light speed, make a black hole, and such other concepts? I must ponder on this awhile. 


And at this, I bid you, Farewell.
