"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes.
When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours; that's
relativity." -- Albert Einstein
Time travel can be made possible in two ways, one is through speed
and the other one is through gravity. Achieving speed even nearer to that of
light is a daunting challenge in itself. Unfortunately we are still miles away
from achieving such height in speed. Gravity may be a relatively usable raw
material. In his general theory of relativity, Einstein predicted that gravity
slows time. Clocks run a bit faster in higher floors of a building than in the
basement, which is closer to the center of the earth.
Presentism holds that neither the future nor the past exists, the
universe only exists in the present and time is merely a concept to describe
what is going around us. The formidable obstacle lies in the practical
creation of the time machine. For example creating a worm hole of
practicable size, keeping it stable, moving one end around would require
energy greater than that of Sun can produce in its entire lifetime.
