Time travel is often defined or thought of as a malleable concept that can be changed. Some believe that time travel is a scientific phenomenon that happened in the past. Some also believe that time travel never happened, but that it is a completely possible and universal concept. Others believe that it is not possible to engage or interact with a time before or after the present year. Despite one's personal stance on the topic of time travel, one cannot deny the fascinating aspects of the possibility that time is a metaphorical game of hopscotch. “Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space. If you can bend space, you can bend time, and if you knew enough and could move faster than light you could travel back in time and exist in two places at once. ” – Margaret Atwood, Cats Eye.

While leaving Scotland for his home in Andover, England, he decided to fly over an abandoned airfield in Drem, a place not far from Edinburg, Scotland. The airfield was full of broken-down planes, and animals began to graze where the old planes had once been parked. After passing the abandoned piece of land, Goddard ran into a storm. He then lost control of his plane and began to plunge towards the ground. As he began to get closer and closer to the ground he noticed that his plane was falling in the direction of Drem. As it approached, the storm stopped and went away. Now Goddard was flying in sunny, beautiful weather. As he began to look around, he realized that the dilapidated airfield he had passed through now appeared to have four brand new airplanes parked. Three of them were painted yellow, but the fourth plane was a monoplane. This plane was not there in 1935, which was its current year. Looking closely at this, he was also surprised to see that the mechanics working in the field were dressed in a blue uniform. In Goddard's time, all RAF mechanics wore brown uniforms. These mechanics also did not appear to notice that Goddard's plane was flying overhead. When he left the area, he headed back through the storm, but this time made it to Andover. Another example was that of a couple who were traveling in Spain in 1979 and were looking for a place to spend the night. They met some men who told them there was a hotel down the street where they could stay. When they approached the old building, the only name on the outside was "Hotel". When they went in to check in they noticed that everything was made of old wood and there were no phones. When they went to their room they discovered that the room had no locks, only wooden latches to keep the door closed. Strangely there were only wooden shutters and no glass windows. The next morning, while having breakfast after their stay, they passed two police officers wearing what looked like old police uniforms with caps, the officers stopped wearing them in 1905. The couple thought nothing of it and continued their journey. After vacationing in Spain for a while, they thought that when they came home they would stay in the same hotel because it was cheap. This time, however, he was nowhere to be found. The hotel had completely disappeared. There was no evidence that it existed in their time. It is believed that the pair must have somehow traveled back in time towhen this hotel was first created. Furthermore, in 1932, J. Bernard Hutton and his photographer Joachim Brandt were asked to collect research on Hamburg-Altona (shipyards in Germany) for their city newspaper. They arrived at the shipyard and were accompanied by a shipyard manager. After gathering the information needed for their story, they started walking to their car to leave, as they were walking to their car they heard the buzz of a plane overhead. Thinking it was a drill, neither of them paid any attention, until the bombs began to explode and everything around them went dark. Then they realized that it was actually an air raid and, fortunately, being close to their car, they quickly moved away from the shipyard. As they departed they noticed that the sky had returned to its normal appearance before this air raid occurred. Unsure of how this was possible, they looked back at the shipyard to see the destruction they had just survived; Hutton and Brandt saw that the shipyards were completely intact and without explosion damage. There was also no sign of the planes that had been there a few minutes earlier. Since there was no evidence of the incident, the two men kept the story to themselves, until eleven years later when the British Royal Airforce attacked the same shipyards on the same day and time. Before fleeing from Hamburg-Altona, during the bombing, Brandt took photos of the incident hoping to use them in his story. He then tried to develop the images, but there was no evidence of either the bombs or the planes. Since there was no evidence of the destruction of the shipyard, the journalist and photographer were unable to prove that this had actually happened, only that they must have somehow traveled into the future. Scientific research has shown several possible ways in which time travel could occur. One possibility is to travel faster than light, light travels at 186,282 miles per second. Einstein calculated equations showing that an object at the speed of light should have infinite mass and zero length. This seems physically impossible for a human to bear. Although other scientists have expanded his equations and concluded that this could happen if the circumstances were right. NASA has also thought about creating “worm-holes” (a theoretical passage that would create shortcuts through the universe) between space and time. Although Einstein's equations prove that this is possible; The wormhole would most likely collapse quickly and only be usable for small particles. There was another man, Frank Tipler (an astronomer), he had a theory that if you took an object 10 times the mass of the sun and rolled it into a long, dense cylinder. After spinning the object very quickly, a nearby spacecraft could follow it around the cylinder, then eventually set itself on a time-like curve. Scientists say that this theory is also made possible by cosmic strings. Cosmic stingers are tubes of energy extending across the entire universe. These regions, left over from the early cosmos, are predicted to contain large amounts of mass and could distort surrounding areas. Cosmic pushes are infinite, connecting two side-by-side wires would fold space-time so quickly in a specific way that time travel would be possible. Finally, the time machine. For a time machine to work it would have to have a negative form of energy density. This matter would have bizarre probabilities such as moving in the opposite direction of normal objects when pressure is applied. Thank you.
