Time Travel: Fact or Fiction?

Sebastian Thomas
According to Wiki, time travel is the concept of traveling forward and backward to different points in time, much as we do through space. John Titor is the name used on several bulletin boards during 2000 and 2001 by a poster claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2036. He described in some details of his world events and the possibility of what could happen on our timeline. Titor described the time machine on several occasions. In an early post, he described it as a "stationary mass, temporal displacement unit powered by two top-spin, dual positive singularities", producing a "standard off-set Tipler sinusoid".

Fact or fiction? Who's to know or say? But the idea itself sounds fascinating enough. What if you could meet yourself when you were a teenager and warn yourself about possible future outcomes? So many theorist believe that time travel is possible and they believe that this kind of technology was already received by extraterrestrials that were not of this world. An example a military experiment called the Montauk Project references this. Quite similar to Stargate SG-1.

Although theories do exist about the possibility of folding time to hop from one point to another. A proposed time-travel machine using a wormhole would hypothetically work if a wormhole is created somehow. One end of the wormhole is accelerated to nearly the speed of light, perhaps with an advanced spaceship, and then brought back to the point of origin. Due to time dilation, the accelerated end of the wormhole has now experienced less subjective passage of time than the stationary end. Two of the most notable movies of all time was the Back to the Future movies series and The Time Machine.
