Einstein's equation just says that energy and matter are the same thing, just in different forms. If you put a lot of energy into something it becomes mass, and if you get rid of some of the mass it turns into energy, no problem, same thing.

The most common theory of time travel involves traveling faster than the speed of light. The idea is that if you're moving faster than light you are able to be at a location before light has reached it and therefore before the event occurred. However, Einstein's equation says that the faster you move, the heavier you become (and therefore the more energy it takes to move you). That's because all the energy you put in to make it go fast turns into matter, which in turn requires even more energy to make it go faster still. As far as we know, it's impossible to ever travel faster than light because it would require too much energy.

However, Einstein has shown us there are still cool effects that are happening all around us (although they're usually too small to see). For example, when you are in motion, time is moving slower for you than it is for someone who is sitting still in an effect called "time dilation". That's because the speed of light is the same with respect to everyone, regardless of how fast you're moving. Scientists tested this theory by putting a super-accurate clock in a satellite around earth and another super-accurate clock on the ground. The satellite was orbiting quickly around the earth and the clock on the ground was sitting still. When they took the satellite down, they discovered that the clock in the satellite showed a time a few seconds slower than the one on the ground. There was nothing wrong with the clock- less time had actually passed in the satellite than on the ground! With time travel, you'd be moving so fast compared to everything else that time would get slower and slower and then eventually reverse. The only problem with that is there wouldn't be any way to speed time back up to get back where you came from (unless you could get the rest of the universe to move faster while you stayed still).

First, 'the science of time travel'? Answer: there isn't any.
Second, E = mc^2 is not the 'Einstein theory of relativity'. It is only peripheral to it.

The Science was learned at school,Time is a clock,watches,and Travel is go to other country.

Time Travel : Find a Black Hole, try to get to its center without getting killed and then turn sharply into a region close by called a wormhole. (No I am not joking, this is the real thing)

Sure, I can explain it in 4 words:

It does not exist.
