      Today I realized how well into the millenium we are when I perused the news and passed up the story about new 3D TV Channels being broadcasted to read about Time Travel. Despite the economic woes being faced here in my own little demographic, I still get inspired by the tantalizing advances we're making. And today I'm being entertained by the thought of Time Travel being realistically possible. 
 
     Stephen Hawkings is someone of intelligent vision and revered accomplishment. So usually we listen when he has something to tell us. The British Cosmologist is now saying how time travel concepts such as "Back to the Future" is not only possible but also very feasible. And he even makes it more clear to us how it works, giving solid examples such as how time slows in space and that the "clocks" used on space vehicles need daily correction to avoid the GPS systems going off kilter about 6 miles, every day.

     Hawkings states that going BACK in time is more easily derived at, but going into the future poses some theoretical problems, and in certain scenarios is likely impossible. But a clue from a man named Albert Einstein has shown itself to be of value to Hawkings when it was theorized that time flows like rivers, and that some are slower than others.

     The 'presently' unknown areas of existance are being probed and the evidence is being revealed as the vast amounts of data collected from technologies and explorations are being analyed. Concepts like Wormholes are being justified by science. Black holes have been detected and sudied so that we now now it bends light and, as it was thought and observed, time. Hawkings states that Black Holes are natural time machines.

     However, Laws govern the limits and parameters of these concepts under the scrutiny of scientists, and Hawkings tells us of the "Cosmic Speed Limit" which weighs in heavily where time travel to the future is concerned. And that is near the speed of light. To present, the fastest humans have gone thus far was 25,000 miles per hour, and that was the astronauts aboard the Apollo 10 spacecraft. The speed required to time travel into the future would be 2,000 times faster.

     How do we know this to be true? Pimesons. These are particles that usually live 25 billionths of a second but when shot through the particle accelerator at CERN in Geneva they last 30 times longer. The accelerator takes particles from 0 to 60,000 mph within a fraction of a second. So if we were a Pimeson, with a finite lifespan, we'd live long past our expected "lifetime" and exist in "the future". Isn't it fascinating when scientific fact supports a fascinating science-fiction concept?
