Time Travel

                I’ve had various encounters with time travel – on television and on books. Time travelling on television mainly concerned capsules and devices. On books, I only read of vague details on the machines but more on characters going against time just to see someone or interfere with something from the past or the future. Nevertheless, time travelling is still a famous plot to include in stories.
                After watching the video on the technicalities of time travelling, it dawned on me that its science is quite the field that makes one’s nose bleed and brain drain out of grey matter – or simply complex and difficult. The video presented a number of theories saying things about black holes, worm holes, cosmic strings, cosmic loops, gravity and parallel universe.
                I learned a few points from the video on how those work, but I’ve been really more interested on how to make them happen. Despite all these stories and theories on time travelling, why is it that until now there are still no breakthroughs on this field? Well, maybe because of financials. Time travelling requires a high level of intelligence and understanding that’s maybe why it would also be capital and time intensive. With time travelling made possible in the future, it would already be similar to dealing with multiple worlds and this would be very hard considering that with the one world we have now, we are already having a hard time taking good care of it.

                Time travelling sure is a brilliant idea but as people living in the present, we are still not sure of what would happen when we start to interfere with the past and the future.
