In essence we all are time travellers.

Late at night, there is this thought in my mind that just wouldn’t leave me until I wrote it down. I see the past in front of me and realize that I am unique in the universe and that everything revolves around me. Every event and occurrence in time is to teach me. Every step ahead I learn new lessons from the people I meet and the surroundings in which I move. I travel in time to the future. The years pass by me and I can see and feel the time. I only possess the ability to move forward. Unfortunately, I can’t turn back time. So many times, I wish I could. I must google this.

Time travel is the concept of movement between certain points in time, analogous to moving between different points in space by an object or a person, typically using a hypothetical device known as a time machine, in the form of a vehicle or of a portal connecting distant points in spacetime, either to an earlier time or to a later time, without the need for the time-traveling body to experience the intervening period in the usual sense.

Time travel is a widely-recognized concept in philosophy and fiction. It was popularized by H. G. Wells’ 1895 novel The Time Machine, which moved the concept of time travel into the public imagination. However, it is uncertain if time travel to the past is physically possible. Forward time travel, outside the usual sense of the perception of time, is possible according to special relativity and general relativity, although making one body advance or delay more than a few milliseconds compared to another body is not feasible with current technology. As for backward time travel, it is possible to find solutions in general relativity that allow for it, but the solutions require conditions that may not be physically possible. Traveling to an arbitrary point in spacetime has a very limited support in theoretical physics, and usually only connected with quantum mechanics or wormholes, also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges.

This gives me a better sense of time. I feel like scenes are passing me by and I move next to it. While moving I can engage in anything I want. I can still remember the days that I started studying. I was a blank sheet and time was writing my story. If I look back then I am grateful to time for writing the story it did. I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a friend, an employee, a coach, a translator and a writer. I enjoy the experiences of each title. I get to live all these roles while time is all around me.
