  1. Is Time Travel Possible?

    In Summary: Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel.

  2. A beginner's guide to time travel

    A beginner's guide to time travel. Learn exactly how Einstein's theory of relativity works, and discover how there's nothing in science that says time travel is impossible. Everyone can travel in ...

  3. Travel-time Curves: How they are created

    A travel time curve is a graph of the time that it takes for seismic waves to travel from the epicenter of an earthquake to seismograph stations at varying distances away. The velocity of seismic waves through different materials yield information about Earth's deep interior. IRIS' travel times graphic for the 1994 Northridge, CA earthquake ...

  4. Time Travel: Observing Cosmic History

    The answer is simply light. The term "light-year" shows up a lot in astronomy. This is a measure of distance that means exactly what it says - the distance that light travels in one year. Given that the speed of light is 186,000 miles (299,000 kilometers) per second, light can cover some serious ground over the course of 365 days.

  5. Is Time Travel Possible?

    Time traveling to the near future is easy: you're doing it right now at a rate of one second per second, and physicists say that rate can change. According to Einstein's special theory of ...

  6. Time travel

    The first page of The Time Machine published by Heinemann. Time travel is the hypothetical activity of traveling into the past or future.Time travel is a widely recognized concept in philosophy and fiction, particularly science fiction. In fiction, time travel is typically achieved through the use of a hypothetical device known as a time machine.The idea of a time machine was popularized by H ...

  7. Time travel

    Science says time travel is possible. Here, we explore some of the theories behind time travel and the science that supports time-bending.

  8. Will time travel ever be possible? Science behind curving space-time

    She explained how, theoretically, time travel is possible. The mathematics behind creating curvature of space-time are solid, but trying to re-create the strict physical conditions needed to prove ...

  9. The Science of Time Travel

    Time travel involves either moving backward to the past or forward to the future. Just as our current actions affect the future, our actions of the past can affect the present. The Grandfather Paradox, which must be addressed when discussing time travel, describes the potential problems that can arise from traveling to the past.

  10. Time Travel

    Time travel is commonly defined with David Lewis' definition: An object time travels if and only if the difference between its departure and arrival times as measured in the surrounding world does not equal the duration of the journey undergone by the object. For example, Jane is a time traveler if she travels away from home in her spaceship ...

  11. Where Does the Concept of Time Travel Come From?

    Perhaps because of this connection between space and time, the possibility that time can be experienced in different ways and traveled through has surprisingly early roots. One of the first known examples of time travel appears in the Mahabharata, an ancient Sanskrit epic poem compiled around 400 B.C., Lisa Yaszek, a professor of science ...

  13. What Is Time? : ScienceAlert

    Time is a measure of non-stop, consistent change in our surroundings, usually from a specific viewpoint. While the concept of time is self-evident and intuitive - the steady passing of events before our eyes; the orbit of the Moon around our planet - describing its fundamental nature is much harder. Even physicists aren't sure what actually ...

  14. Time travel could be possible, but only with parallel timelines

    Time travel and parallel timelines almost always go hand-in-hand in science fiction, but now we have proof that they must go hand-in-hand in real science as well. General relativity and quantum ...

  15. What Is The Time?

    Waves of visible light oscillate on the order of femtoseconds (10-15s). We have gone smaller still, to the attosecond scale. One attosecond is defined as 10-18 seconds, that's one millionth of a ...

  16. NOVA Online

    The first science-fiction story about time travel appeared in the 1880s. Science-fiction authors have had various uses for time machines, including dinosaur hunting, tourism, visits to one's ...

  17. Is Time Travel Even Possible? An Astrophysicist Explains The Science

    Some scientists are exploring other ideas that could theoretically allow time travel. One concept involves wormholes, or hypothetical tunnels in space that could create shortcuts for journeys across the universe.If someone could build a wormhole and then figure out a way to move one end at close to the speed of light - like the hypothetical spaceship mentioned above - the moving end would ...

  18. 4.1: Relationship Between Distance, Speed, and Time

    At the time, NASA's Galileo satellite was about 1.6 AU from Jupiter, and the Voyager 2 satellite was at a distance of 42 AU from Jupiter (on its way out of the Solar System). Hints: Recall that 1 AU = 8.3 light-minutes. Also, when speed is the speed of light, if the distance is in light-minutes, the time is in minutes.

  19. Time, Velocity, and Speed

    Every measurement of time involves measuring a change in some physical quantity. It may be a number on a digital clock, a heartbeat, or the position of the Sun in the sky. In physics, the definition of time is simple— time is change, or the interval over which change occurs. It is impossible to know that time has passed unless something changes.

  20. Absolute Time and Relative Time

    These predictions have actually been proven. In 1962, scientists placed two atomic clocks at the bottom and top of a water tower. The clock at the bottom, the one closer to the massive center of the Earth, was running slower than the clock at the top. Einstein called this phenomenon time dilation.

  21. Exploring the Reality of Time Travel: Science Fact vs. Science Fiction

    Time travel, a longstanding fascination in science fiction, remains a complex and unresolved concept in science. The second law of thermodynamics suggests time can only move forward, while Einstein's theory of relativity shows time's relativity to speed. Theoretical ideas like wormholes offer potential methods, but practical challenges and ...
