Back in 1895, Herbert Wells' science fiction novel, The Time Machine, was published. The idea appealed to everyone, regardless of the level of education and social status. Dreamers gladly transferred to the future and became observers of the latest technological achievements or returned to the past, trying to influence the course of events. Some not only dreamed, but also made attempts to recreate such a machine. Yes there! Rumor has it that the same Einstein's Theory of Relativity arose in the wake of universal hysteria around the time machine.
How long before time travel?
A century has passed since then, and interest in intertemporal movement has not diminished. The notion of a time machine entered the vocabulary of science fiction writers as the undeniably existing apparatus of the future. No, no, yes, attractive headlines appear in newspapers: "How to make a time machine ? Photo exclusive!" This means that people (who are in the garage, who are at the table in the scientific laboratory) are still struggling to create a real prototype. Their zeal is also fueled by the fact that almost all the equipment of the future, invented by Herbert Wells, already exists: space rockets, invisible scouts, biological weapons, a laser and others. So maybe it’s not far from time travel ?
Physics time machine
The very idea of such a travel device is hardly fantastic. Any item goes along a temporary path - appears, ages, wears out, disappears. On the other hand, nobody fully controls this process. Yes, technological progress has achieved that a person can extend his life. But turning back the clock is a matter of a different level. Therefore, a time machine (how to make it) is not just a task of moving forward in a stream of oncoming movement of minutes and hours, but a reversible manned movement.
Next question: moving to?
The earth moves around the sun. Its coordinates in space are constantly changing. In addition, the Earth rotates around its own axis, which means that any object on its surface, rushing into the future or the past, may be at that time, but in the wrong place. In outer space, for example. It turns out that it is necessary not only to figure out how to make a time machine, the instructions for which are not known, to create some kind of apparatus that will count minutes in reverse order or accelerated mode, but also to take into account spatial coordinates, which are possibly unpredictable. This means that the definition of a time machine can be supplemented with confidence: this is a reversible manned displacement device in a time-dependent spatial coordinate system.
Einstein's experiment
It turns out that the exact definition of a time machine can easily be deduced by every modern person. With the creation of the same situation is not so rosy. Although it cannot be denied that mankind has achieved some success along this path. For example, the same Einstein was able to construct a system that could hide an entire aircraft carrier not only from the screens of the tracking equipment, but also make it disappear from the field of view of observers and spectators for as long as 5 minutes. However, the crew members found it difficult to tell where they were all this time, and whether they were somewhere at all. The experiment can hardly be called successful. The whole team soon died from an unknown disease. Einstein, on the other hand, has proven that man can control time. It remains only to understand: is a real time machine possible, how to make it?
Modern view of time
Einstein's theory of relativity shows that time and space have a certain surface that is not visible to the human eye. This surface is extremely heterogeneous in composition and shape, has hollows and convex formations, wrinkles and cracks. A famous example of a temporary hollow is a black hole.
For more than half a century, scientists have been working on their study. And they came to the conclusion that black holes are present not only in outer space, but also in the smallest particles of everything that surrounds us - atoms. These wormholes are represented by inter-temporal tunnels that connect two points, reducing millions of times not only the distance between them, but also slowing down the time in proportion to the distance. They are not stable. They either disappear or appear. And what is the cause of these disappearances is still a mystery.
Well-known thinker Stephen Hawking is sure that someday our technological potential will reach such a level that we can not only take advantage of these inter-temporal tunnels, expanding them to the size of a person, but also synthesize our own tunnels.
Hawking claims that the next goal of scientists who have conquered distances will be a step into the past in the literal sense of the word. Humanity will learn to use wormholes for time travel.
Games over time
Time is the master of everything. And now the subject of his desire is a time machine. How to create it? The task of man is to move the cup of power in his direction. And if in reality this question is still unsolvable, then in the virtual world everyone can manage time. For example, Minecraft’s simulator of building its own universe in real time (this simulator involves moving a player around the universe in real time, which during the game and the world gradually grows) makes it possible for each player to get their own time machine. What is this not in our world that is in the Minecraft project? How to make a time machine? Use widely available mods. In general, our scientists would have some secret channels of access to data about space, and we would also have a time machine.
Metaphysical time travel
While scientists and gamers invent means for their own time travel, meditation masters take a different path: travel metaphysically.
Each body that is in our world leaves behind itself a trail woven from the energy of its life and vibration - the reaction of space to its movement. Experienced yogis can tune in to this trail, arguing that their chosen path makes travel to the past and vice versa possible. By the power of thought. Are they telling the truth? The answer is mixed. Shamans, clairvoyants, and people who are fond of magic tell about the metaphysical movement in time. They claim that reality is a kind of time machine. How to make it work? It is enough to achieve harmony with oneself, to learn to detach from the outside world, to meditate and practice daily - and everything will work out: any person will be able to follow the path of time back and forth.
And what about the future? Is it possible to get a golden key from a treasured door with meditation? Realistically, but what kind of future will the observer fall into? After all, this is an extremely changeable space, which is affected by many events. Every minute, every second is functionally dependent on thousands of variables. If you predict the conditions, make a certain decision - you can find out about its further development. This method is used by clairvoyants and shamans. It is as if they choose the right corridor from a thousand and go along it, predicting the future.
Time for experiment
Each person has at least once thought about how to make a real time machine in order to meet himself from the past. Look at yourself and perhaps give a couple of tips. In this regard, the so-called "time capsules" have gained wide popularity, in which a group of people or someone alone compose a message for themselves in the future. The message may contain a video or things that cause the sender some emotions - in general, some information from the past that will be interesting to receive.
After a while, the "time capsules" open and, as it were, establish contact with oneself from the past. People on this and on this side of time are united by expectation and thoughts. A local time continuum is created - in action a real time machine. How to do it - the question is no longer standing.
