TECHNICAL APPROXIMATION OF THE TRIP IN TIME

Isaac Newton vs. Albert Einstein. The first one sustained that only a universal time exists, and moreover, it’s already predetermined. It doesn’t matter if we say that tomorrow is already written down on some scroll of some god. It’s wrong. The genius of Ulm put things, (and time) in their place: The future and the past occur in synchronicity in different points in the universe. Time is relative to velocity. It’s that simple and complex at the same time. There isn’t a universal time, no digital and cosmological floating watch that marks time of the entire orb. No, it doesn’t exist because the passing of time is subjective according to the velocity by which the subject travels or the entity by which we measure it. Let’s start to do the numbers. Equation:

Brief Legend:
T’= Time that the trip lasts for the occupants of the craft
T = Time passed on Earth
v = Average velocity of the trip with respect to the Earth
c = velocity of the light in the void  

Some may think: But if I don’t travel to any place, time doesn’t pass for me? Error: We are condemned to travel for all eternity, even though we don’t want to, as hermit-like as we may be, in space and in time. Everything moves. Galaxies in centrifugal form, whose epicenter was the big-bang. The solar systems inside them, around their center, a colossal whirlwind. The planets, around the suns and around themselves. We move ourselves. Inevitable. Our temporary coordinate system is uniform, being that everything that we know travels with us and the (micro)trips that we set off on within our microcosms (the Earth or nearby vicinities) happen at ridiculous velocities with respect to light. Nevertheless, the temporary differences exist although being almost insignificant. The timers on planes get behind by nanoseconds with respect to those that are found on Earth. The Russian cosmonaut Serguéi Krikaliov, after being 747 days in space felt a temporary Einsteinian regression: 1/50th of a second less had passed for him than for the rest of the mortal beings, meaning, that he had “traveled” to the future by 1/50th of a second with respect to the rest of humanity.

Therefore, to travel to the future, as we intend to do, is possible. Another story is to take trips to the past, a question that the old scientist labeled with the word banned for many idealists: impossible. A weak piece of evidence is that (apparently) we aren’t surrounded by “Humans of the Future” that study us like curious entomologists study cute little arthropods. Some theories wield that we could do it some time, but only until the moment that a “machine” that went towards tomorrow was constructed. Ummm, Would the laws of causality be violated? In science, many times, truths have an expiration date, therefore, the Future Times team has a ticket to tomorrow at its disposal, without the return ticket quite resolved: We don’t have a return ticket…. for now. We don’t mind very much: We are so excited about the trip that we will be “voluntary martyrs” of such an extraordinary deed. Ah, to avoid paradoxes we will keep our identities- our “when”, in the future, a secret. 
 
 

Our time machine doesn’t look like the much loved one that Rod Taylor used in “The Time Machine”. In that film, an enormous turning wheel prevailed on the device and may have justified the theories of mathematician Kurt Gödel, and this turning structure tried (innocently) to create a temporary curl that the craft could penetrate. No. It’s not ethical to drain the all the suns of the galaxies’ energy in order to get it. Our time machine is simply a space craft. Introducing values into the above mentioned equation, for 50 Earth years to pass, we would need to travel at an average velocity of 98.4% of c, the speed of light, meaning, we will travel at an average of 298,000 kilometers (185,168 miles) per second, during a little more than six years. At the halfway point of our trip, we will get closer to the closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri (4.3 light years away), but our elliptic route will make us say goodbye to it long before we reach it in our aphelion, or maximum point of furthering from the orbit that we draw up with respect to our Sun. Upon returning “home” again, we will try to land clandestinely and silently, if possible, in that Future, that doesn’t exist yet. We will “lose” a bit more than a lustrum during the trip, but, in exchange, a future of almost half a century with respect to our time will be built before us.

Also, we will learn to play chess at an incredibly high level.
