Time travel is remarkable topic with scinitillating arguments.It is a great titilation for your psyche. Highly mathematical and complex it is a challenge for a person to explain the concept to a lay man.It all started in 1881 with article appearing in Newyork Sun by Edward Page Mitchell titled"The clock went Backward'.Then came the classic work of HG Wells in 1895."The time Machine". From Einstein's Special and General Theory of Relativity Sitable Geometry of "spacetime" can allow time travel to past and future.Scientists believe that all this a good intellectual gymnastics with no truth to it. There is no experimental evidence and in actuality highly unlikely.There is basically conflict with issue of causality the cause and effect sequence. I will give an example to make it clear. Suppose you did travel in time to the past to the period of your grandfather and killed him. Your existence in the present then becomes absurd. There is something called the PRESENTIST veiw as per which there is nothing called past or future. All we have is present.Suppose you had future. Can you prform any action in future now? No. You can perform only in the present.What then is past and future? In fact there is no past or fure except that you have past or future memory only. You have many other concepts such as "Faster Than Light", "Time Dilation", "Arrow of Time" relative to Entropy all ending up in some kind of paradox or other like the example I gave of killing your grand father. In conclusion Time travel is ok for a science fiction reader and has no reality as such.

Ohhh hi so you must be a form of lower species back in the 21st ancient history. Well I am right now living in 6867 A.D. and we are pretty much superior in many ways. Lowest I.Q. in the planet right now is 4600. Mine is 8500 about above average. So perhaps I will just see you when I take my vacation next month and travel through your time. I have lots to tell you but I am too busy working on my project "how to catch up with a comet's speed with a FwetMobil using urine petrol." So till then, poknato. By the way poknato means take care in present English.

When we speak of something happening somewhere in the world we must agree to use a single time zone. That time zone is normally GMT. All other times are just for the convience of the local area. If I say something happened at 3pm it doesn't repeat itself for each time zone at 3pm.

Time zones are just the way we measure time. It is like inches and cm. You might say something is an inch long, but I call it 2.52cm - they are still the same length.
In the same way, you might call a time 2pm, and I might say it is 8am, but we are still talking about the same time... we just have different labels for it.

But... you are traveling through time. Forwards. At the rate of 1 second per second.

Time is relative, like my aunt Hazel.

When you flush your toliet in the northern hemisphere the water goes in a circle.

It's all about simultanaity and reference frames.

You'll learn all about that in about your 4'th year of University-level Physics.
