Was 2030 time traveller REAL? Physics boffin says moving through time CAN be done

Time travel could be possible using the speed of light

A greater understanding of physics and the laws of the universe have led experts to closer and closer to the conclusion such a feat is possible.

And one scientist in particular, Brian Greene, is convinced.

Albert Einstein first proposed the idea that travelling at the speed of light away from Earth would slow down time for the traveller, while those back on Earth would experience time at the normal rate.

Mr Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and co-founder of the World Science Festival, said: “Albert Einstein showed that if you go out into space and travel near the speed of light, and you turn around, and you come back, your clock will be ticking off time more slowly.

It is possible to go backwards and forwards through time

“So, when you step off it’s going to be the future on planet Earth. You will have time travelled into the future.

“He also showed that if you hang out near a nice strong source of gravity — a neutron star, a black hole — and you kind of get right near the edge of that object, time also for you would slow down real slow relative to everybody else. 

“And therefore, when you come back to Earth, for instance, it’ll again be far into the future.”

Prof Greene also said that there is a third option: wormholes – where space and time are warped to create portals that act as shortcuts through space.

Using wormholes could be one way to travel through time

The wormhole could be made possible if or when scientists discover the counterpart to the already discovered positive or zero mass particles which are found throughout the universe.

Prof Greene: “It’s a bridge, if you will, from one location space to another. It’s kind of a tunnel that gives you a shortcut to go from here to here. 

“Now Einstein discovered this in 1935 but it was subsequently realised that if you manipulate the openings of a wormhole — put one near a black hole or take one on a high-speed journey — then time of the two openings of this wormhole tunnel will not take off at the same rate, so that you will no longer just go from one location in space to another, if you go through this tunnel — through this wormhole — you’ll go from one moment in time to a different moment in time. 

“Go one way, you’ll travel to the past, the other way, travel to the future.”

Black holes are another possiblity

Recently, a man has posted a video online claiming to be from the year 2028.

In a video broadcast on the YouTube channel Paranormal Elite, Noah –who did not disclose his last name – claims that he risked his life to travel back in time to warn people that the technology exists.

The so-call time traveller said: “I am not attempting to deceive anyone, my sole objective is to prove to you that time travel exists and that I, myself, am a time traveller.

“First of all, time travel became possible in the year 2003, it is only used by top-secret organisations. The ability to time travel will not be released to the public until 2028.”

Noah claims that because of his years of time travel, he is suffering from anorexia and depression.

Noah added: “In 2028, the organisations will admit that time travel is real and then it will be open to the public.

“In 2021, there will be a really popular device, almost like a Google Glass, that will look like a normal pair of glasses, but will have the processing power of today’s desktop computers.

“The problem is that the President of the United States of America after the 2020 election will be Donald Trump.

“I can say this with 100 per cent certainty. I know many of you will not believe me, but what I say is the truth.”
