If I close one eye and leave one open, I see a universe. If I close the eye I had open and now open the one I closed first, would it be the same universe in a different view? Or a new universe altogether?
There's a thought, what if we were only made yesterday and God had put very explicit memories in our mind, but it was all a lie?
Stephen William Hawking wrote a book called 'A Brief History of Time.'
It is said that out of the 100% of people who buy it, 90% put it down after the first 10 pages and only 10% finish the book. It's said to be too intellectually challenging and boring for some minds to cope with.
But he actually touched up on a topic I'm really interested in: time travel.
Hawking said that time isn't linear as we believe it is. That time doesn't travel in a straight line from past to present and then to the future, but that time is parallel. Therefore every second of every day is in parallel lines right next to each other and to travel across time you'd have to jump from line to line. Not traveling straight down a line as it is thought.
How can we prove this? Well, at the moment we can't. At least I can't.
I don't really know whether I believe him or not. Whether we can really jump from time to time at all. But time travel is possible.
If you go into a space ship and orbit the earth then for you, by the time you're 70 year old and have been orbiting the earth, you would have lost a year on earth. And if you had spent your time on earth, you would have been 71.
So is that our key to time travel?
