Why Time Travel Will Never Be Possible

Time travel into the past and future is a real possibility according to some scientists who believe that Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity can be put into practice. It has been proven that objects moving at the speed of light age slower than stationary ones. A highly simplified example of time travel can be experienced without ever leaving Earth. Because of the rotation of planet Earth in space, there are different time zones as there would be on all of the other planets as well since they also rotate. This is why people will say that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. A single country, depending on its size can span more than one time zone as we see in the case of the Untied States which has four zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern.

If someone in California took a jet at 3:00PM and flew directly to New York in four hours, he would arrive at what would be 7:00PM back in California. However, in New York, it would be 10:00PM. Technically, it could be said that he experienced time travel three hours into the future and that the jet acted as a kind of time machine.

Scientists affirm that the laws of Physics declare that time travel back into the past is also feasible--in theory. But, it must not be forgotten that what is possible in theory is often impossible in practice. Consider the bumble bee. The theory of aero-dynamics says that he shouldn't be able to fly because of the size, weight, and shape of his body in relation to his wing span. Nevertheless, bumble bees fly. Scientific theories used to support belief in research for the building of time machines will prove to be just as erroneous as the case with the bumble bee.

Theoretical Physics professor at the University of Connecticut, Ronald Mallet, is accredited with making one of the most promising discoveries relating to time travel. He believes that anything containing energy is capable of warping (distorting) time in space and, based on this theory, has designed a time machine that operates on beams of light. He hopes to test and perhaps witness time travel in his machine within the next decade. Various other theories are being studied to aid in the quest for designing and building real time machines in the near future. They include traveling into the past or future through what are known as "wormholes." In space, there appears to be dimensions, one of them being time. A wormhole would be formed by causing two non-touching dimensions to touch in an overlap of another. It's not yet known whether wormholes even actually exist and even if they do, their stability is highly questionable.

If we pretended for a moment that time machines and time travel were possible. There still would be no such thing as traveling back to ancient Egypt to observe King Tut or any other area to witness the construction of the seven wonders of the ancient world. There would be no such thing as traveling into the future to see the colonization of the moon or that of the planet Mars. Because these things can't be accomplished, there would be no real time travel. Remember, just because objects may age slower when they travel at the speed of light, travel speed has absolutely nothing to do with whether the object exists or not.

There's no technology that can create matter out of nothing regardless of the speed of travel of that "nothingness." Not even nanotechnology is the power of creation, rather it deals with manipulating what already exists. There's no future until it actually arrives. Likewise, there's no technology that can resurrect the deceased. The people of the past who have passed away await nothing but judgment day, not a day when people from the future will visit them. It's amazing that a professor of Physics actually believes that there are people living in the future who will attempt to use the rings of lights that he constructs for his "time machine" to contact people of the past. Time travel is science fiction that will never be science fact.

The biblical scripture of Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 says, "To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up...." Man cannot revisit, change, manipulate, or control in any way the times and seasons that have already been divinely appointed.
