Traveling to The Past

Hello everyone! I am wearing a bow tie today! I am very happy...

Anyway, TODAY, I will be discussing with you backwards time travel, its possibility, and, if it is possible, how we would be able to achieve it. We'll be talking about backwards time travel for quite a bit, so sit back and just read through these series of posts. This is probably the most common use of time travel ever seen on T.V. or thought about.

So, to find out about this information I went to The Library. Actually no, sorry, I just wanted to make a reference. (Hopefully you Whovians understand.) What I actually did was use the POWER OF THE INTERNET, mainly google, to find out the possibilities of backwards travel. 

The first thing to catch my eye was the HowStuffWorks site. The name itself seemed simple  so I decided that was my place to go.

What I found was familiar information, some that I had briefly covered in my last post. It talks about the theory of relativity, something that we talked about already, concerning the "faster-than-light" possibility of time travel (specifically, backwards). And it also proposes the idea of, rather than using space propulsion technology, using the existing cosmic phenomena: the black hole. The ways of travel are explained once again by this website, but what caught my eye was a law of physics, not referring to travel, but to reality. What they talk about, is the law of causality, or cause and effect.

The law of causality got me thinking about if time travel could actually be possible, not in terms of travel, but in terms of reality. Could I travel back in time without causing a paradox and utterly violating and quite possibly changing our way of reality? Could I travel back and not create an alternate reality? I started to think about this and came to a conclusion. This kind of violation can be prevented, only if we don't do something stupid, like go back and, oh I don't know, sabotage America to make us LOSE WORLD WAR II. Because, if we do something like that, it would surely create a paradox, because it changes one of the most influential aspects of the events that have already taken place, thus also making another reality, where Germany won. I know it's a bit morbid, but it's the most cliche example of alternate reality I could use.

I have already gotten an idea of the reality aspect of time travel which I will have to look deeper into, but for now, I will have to research travel options. What should I start with, light speed or black hole?

So, yes, for the next week or so, our time travel discussion will now be focused on the travel back in time.

And once again, I bid you farewell to your thoughts and your theories.

Goodbye!
