    As you saw in my first time travel blog, (Time Travel: Into the Future, and Time Travel: Into the Past) there were two separate things that I had to do in order to time travel both into the future, and into the past. However, there is a better solution to this, that can use the same (or almost the same) way to time travel. It involves superfluids, speeds of light, and of course, time travel. Keep on reading in order to see what this solution is.

 

    First, lets think of a normal fictional time travel machine. You just get into the machine, press a few dials, and zip! Your there. However, the reality is much different. We can't actually tame time and force it to flow backwards for everybody. However, we can go through it. The reason why is that space and time are interconnected, in something called space-time. This was predicted in Einstein's theory of general relativity. I think this is one of the reasons that we experience time. But there's more. As gravity is produced by warping space-time with large bodies, and since space and time is interconnected, Einstein came to the conclusion that the larger the body, the more space, and time, is warped.*

 

    Can this mean the solution to time travel? Actually, no. We need extremely large bodies in order to warp space sufficiently enough to permit time travel. That's the bad news. However, the good news is that we have something just for that job. What is this mystery object? It is a black hole.

    No, a black hole is not a hole. It is actually a star that has collapsed (read my post, Life and Death of a Star) enough that the remaining matter in a star collapses into a black hole. The black hole can warp space time so much that one second for you can be, maybe 5 years for them. Sadly, a black hole can only permit time travel into the future (and the tidal forces will rip you into shreds), and that is not our goal. Our goal is to use the same method of time travel in order to, well, time travel.

    For my solution, we will need the help of superfluids. "What is a superfluid?", you might ask. Well, a superfluid is a fluid frozen to almost absolute zero. These superfluids have a special talent. They can first, creep out a container, but more importantly, they have no friction. As in, if you swirl the fluid with a spoon, it will keep on swirling forever (until it creeps out of it's container, of course). Now lets apply all these thoughts on my time travel device.

    So here's how my time travel device works. Think of two metal spheres, one inside the other(painted gold, of course). Between the metal spheres is a lot of superfluid (with air, the friction will slow the time travel down). Using atomic energy (read my post, Atomic Energy: The New Resource), we achieve speeds at the speed of light. Now we have two choices.
A- we can go faster than the speed of light in order to travel backward in time, or
B- just go a little bit slower than the speed of light to travel forward in time.

So that's how we can truly travel in time.

*This actually means that we experience time slower on earth than in space because of the sun and earth's warping of time!
