TIME TRAVEL IS EASY! KINDA . . .
Dr. Brian Cox
British physics superstar Professor Brian Cox has gone on the record to say that time travel is possible. Unfortunately, there’s a huge caveat to his claim: if you were able to achieve this feat, you’d only be able to travel into the future; never to return. Why? Traveling into the past is impossible.
Possibly.
The idea of mono-directional time travel is a slap in the face for most science fiction storylines, but fortunately for Marty McFly there’s no risk of accidentally sleeping with his mother from 1955 in this scenario. However, zooming around on hovering skateboards in the future is totally plausible.
Maybe.
However, he wouldn’t have been able to return to 1985, or travel back to 1955 like he does in the first film.
“If you go fast, your clock runs slow relative to people who are still. As you approach the speed of light, your clock runs so slow you could come back 10,000 years in the future.”
The theory is based on Einstein’s Theory of Special Relatively that states to travel forward in time, an object would need to reach speeds close to the speed of light.
As an object approach these speeds, time slows down but only for that specific object travelling.
For example, people flying over the Atlantic will experience time passing marginally slower than people on the ground.
“In General Relativity, you can do it in principle,” continued Cox.
“It’s to do with building these things called wormholes; shortcuts through space and time. But most physicists doubt it.
“Hawking came up with the ‘chronology protection conjecture’—physics we don’t yet understand that means wormholes are not stable.”
Cox pointed out this little trick of physics at a speech at the British Science Festival while discussing the merits of Doctor Who’s TARDIS, but it probably isn’t news to anyone with a basic knowledge of how Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity works. Although the UK national press seems to think otherwise.
“Can you build a time machine?” said Cox. “The answer is yes.”
Assuming we could build a spaceship that will accelerate an astronaut close to the speed of light, only for them to return a few hours later (in the astronaut’s time frame), through a quirk of relativity it’s possible that thousands of years would have passed on Earth. Therefore, the superfast spaceship will have become a time machine! Want to go further into the future? No problem! Fly the spaceship even faster.
