Time Travelling is Possible

I have always been intrigued by this subject matter. No, no not so much as to look into it deeply and the possibilities, science is just not my cup of tea. But it has always intrigued me in endless ways: in imagination, movies, books and what not.

Has it not ever caught your interest? Peaked your curiosity? What if time traveling were a thing? And where did the term even start? Was it the creation of a baseless imagination or based off an actual possibility that someday this just might be possible? In 2008, Stephen Hawking held a Time Travelers party. The catch? It was declared publicly one year after the party actually happened. But no one came. Does this mean time traveling is not possible whatsoever? Or what if time travelers did come and Stephen Hawking was obliged to not disclose? And what if it were possible, it would open up the doors to so many things both in the past and in the present.

If the subject had not come to your thoughts before, surely the popular movie “Back to the Future” must have ruffled a few feathers in you. It is a classic. Or how about the book “The Time Traveler”? Okay, these may just be works of fictions but what about actual evidence of photographs where some ‘time travelers’ seem to have made their way? How is it possible in that era? In that lifetime for modern clothing and modern lifestyle to have found its way? Was it tampered with? The photographs? Maybe. And what about the 2006 case of the passport from a nation that no longer existed? It was while watching one of these videos that I found this comment that touched me.

This comment caught me off-guard. We think about time-traveling possibilities so much that maybe we are not really looking at the big picture and actually already do it everyday. Time traveling is possible. Time traveling is possible to the past. We do not know yet of future, nobody does, but we time-travel to the past. The smallest of things: a photograph, a song, a dream, a smell, a place, anything really takes us straight back to our childhood, to our home, to a coffee shop with someone, to our school, to our graduation, to our first earning, to our wedding, to the first walk of our kids, any memory really. We time travel to whatever has been caught in video, in audio, in our memories. We cannot change anything but we can see, we can still feel, we can still observe. And maybe it is meant to be that way. So really, like this very intelligent person has pointed out, we are all time – travelers in our own way.
