Amit: Greetings to all. Time travel: a myth or reality is the topic of today's programme, and I, Amit
Gaitonde, am beyond thrilled to be the interviewer.

Time travel has become a hot topic after the release of the Christopher Nolan and Odar directed films
"Tenet" and "Dark." Everyone from physicist to students has begun to express curiosity in time travel. We
therefore have the honour of welcoming three great visitors today: Dr. Rohan Singhania, a renowned physics
professor; Dr. Samaira Kapoor, a Howard University graduate and master’s in history with gold medal in PhD;
and Ms. Anita Nair, author of the best-selling book 'Stars ‘and' Magic'.

I'd like to start by asking our guests what they think about time travel and what this idea entails.

Samaira : There are, in my opinion, two components to time travel or going back and forth in time.
Astronauts returning from the international space station have already engaged in one such action, which is
moving forward in time. Backward time travel is seen as being difficult. Traveling quickly makes time seem
pass more slowly. Thus, if a person travels faster than the speed of light then they will be able to go back in
time.

Rohan: I concur with what was said by Dr. Samaira. Wormholes, also referred to as Einstein- Rosen
bridges, could be an additional possibility. Numerous scientists have offered their own theories about how
wormholes might function, even if we haven't yet found one. I might be convinced that time travel is a
reality at this point. Our ability to travel in time is also made possible by NASA's space telescopes. Although
telescopes enable us to view distant galaxies and stars, it takes a while for their light to reach our planet. So,
when we use a telescope to observe the sky, we are actually viewing the appearance of those stars and
galaxies millions of years in the past.

Anita:I believe that literature and cinema have made a significant contribution to helping us visualise the
idea of time travel as the ability to move back and forth between the past and the future. In truth, under
specific circumstances, it is conceivable to perceive time passing at a different rate of less than 1 second.
Time travel is not a hypothetical concept as glamorised in movies. Therefore, Understanding the true nature
of time travel is also crucial.

Amit: It was a good way to start the conversation, so thank you. It would only be reasonable to ask if time
travel should only be considered as depicted in stories or does it have any value in real life also…let us ask
the erudite much acclaimed author who is in our midst today!
Anita: Although not in the manner we think of it, time travel is indeed a thing. we can't use time machine
to travel hundred of years in past or future. That sort of time travel only exists in stories. However, the
mathematics underlying time travel does have an impact on aspects of daily life, such as the functioning of
the gaps that guides us to new locations. Because life is inherently stressful, developing coping mechanisms
is crucial to getting through each day. Escapism is one of them, but avoiding reality is harmful. Rework on
this …how would a writer view this concept.. will talk about how she has depicted it in her novels.

Samaira: Escapism is essentially the propensity to withdraw from reality and seek solace and security in a
dream world. The ability to mentally travel across time has enabled us to envision alternative possibilities
and create the complicated world we live in today. We can project our past memories into the future,
creating an infinite number of combinations from which to choose the most likely scenarios.

Rohan: I think time travel is useful and is therefore worthwhile to pursue in the real world. Imagine the
experiences one may have and the knowledge one might gain if we could travel back in time and study our
evolution. Making alterations in the past in order to alter the future, on the other hand, is still a concept
reserved for fiction. Time travel should be made possible for our own convenience rather than alter the
course of development or perhaps even the meaning of life.

Amit: That is quite fascinating ! Now that the perspectives have been examined, it's time to talk about the
potential damages that time travel could have on all of humanity. Any thoughts?

Rohan: The desire to go back in time is both universal and age-old. It not only violates the nature of the
law , but also lessens the excitement of living. The "grandfather paradox" is a common tool used by scientists
to explain time travel to the public. According to this theory, someone who travels back in time to kill his
own grandfather actually ends up erasing his own family line, making him or her nonexistent in the present.

Anita: An illustration of this is provided in the story, the third level, where the narrator, Charlie, wishes to
flee to a more tranquil and secure time before World War I. He yearned to return to Galesburg 1894, the
home of his grandfather, where he had grown up. He locates the third level of Grand Central Station as a
result, allowing him to escape.

Samaira : Undoubtedly, going back in time might be fantastic, but doing so affects the kind of change
that most people desire is usually an atrocious idea. Just consider what may happen if someone went back in
time and prevented Hitler from persecuting Jews in concentration camps. In theory, this would be a heroic
deed, but in practise, it might disturb our basic existence. This could pose a direct threat to humanity.

Amit: Whether it is a concept found in fiction or reality, I think we can all agree that time travel is a really
intriguing idea. As we come to a close of this illuminating and educational conversation, I would want to
thank our guests for coming and sharing their perspectives on time travel as well as the audience for being
such attentive listeners.
