Present to Future

Present to Future

As many people already know , distance is

As many people already know , distance equal to speed by time . Since the speed

is equal to speed by time . Since the of a moving object cannot be faster than

speed of a moving object cannot be the speed of light , the closer the speed of

faster than the speed of light , the an object is to the speed of light the time

closer the speed of an object is to the will be longer when it is traveling a certain speed of light the time will be longer distance when . This it traveling is why the a certain time distance in a fast . This is why the time in a fast train

train flow slower than a motionless train . flow slower than a motionless train .

Now let ’ s talk about how gravity affects

Now let ’ s talk about how gravity affects

the flow of time . Light is also affected the flow of time . Light is also affected

by gravity . Gravity affects light because by gravity . Gravity affects light because

when gravity distorts space so that when gravity distorts space so that t light that travels through space is also light that travels through space is also distorted . When light is distorted , it distorted . When light is distorted , it causes light to travel slower , resulting causes light to travel slower , resulting

To sum up , the speed and gravity

To sum up , the speed and gravity

determine the time flow of a person determine the time flow of a person

or an object . Hence , if people travel or an object . Hence , if people travel

extremely fast closer to the speed he extremely fast closer to the speed he

of light and free from gravitational of light and free from gravitational

force , they can travel to the future . force , they can travel to the future .

Present to Past

We have already discussed

traveling from the present to the

We have already discussed traveling future , but how about traveling

from the present to the future , but how from the present to the past ? about traveling from the present to the past ? There are two main possible
