More than 100 years ago, Albert Einstein came up with an idea about how time works. He called it relativity. This theory says that time and space are linked together. Einstein also said our universe has a speed limit: nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.

What does this mean for time travel? Well, according to this theory, the faster you travel, the slower you experience time. Scientists have done so many experiments again and again to prove that this is true.

There was an experiment that used two clocks set to the exact same time. One clock stayed on Earth, while the other flew in an airplane (going in the same direction Earth rotates).

After the airplane flew around the world, scientists compared the two clocks. The clock on the fast-moving airplane was slightly behind the clock on the ground. So, the clock on the airplane was traveling slightly slower in time than 1 second per second.

Time travel is a fantasy that has been in the human imagination for decades. However, it has never left science fiction until now. An astrophysicist revealed that it is possible to travel 100 years into the future.

A leading British astrophysicist declared that there are up to 2 ways that science confirmed as methods to travel 100 years into the future. She further revealed that a future spacecraft could resolve this phenomenon.

Is traveling 100 years into the future possible?

Sarah Bridle, Professor of Astronomy and Cosmology in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester, told that scientists know how to travel more than 100 into the future in just one week.

In a discussion of time travel, the leading astrophysicist stated that this method is the closest scientists have come to unraveling time travel.

But she also assured us that it is currently not feasible with the technology we have. Also, that time travel would require a “new type of spacecraft that consumes massive amounts of energy.”

The time travel interview continued with the news that Professor Stephen Hawking‘s memorial service left the door open for time travelers to attend.

Bridle explained that there are at least 2 completely respectable ways to be able to advance in time.

“We could move very, very quickly. So if you get on a plane and go around the world, you move forward in time by one-millionth of a second.

People have done experiments with clocks on airplanes and flying around the world to show this.”

Basically traveling 100 years into the future is possible, however, with our current technology, it is impossible. But the fact that science is already taking its possibility into account shows us that, over the years, it could be a reality.

Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it’s not quite what you’ve probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel.
