-K.HIMA SEKHAR,
What is Time Travel?
A concept in which time is traversed
in much the same way that space is
traversed.
Possibly between parallel
realities and universes
Once confined to fantasy
and science fiction, time
travel is now simply an
engineering problem.
Concept of Time
The indefinite continued progress of
existence and events in the past,
present, and future, regarded as a
whole." [Oxford Dictionary]
Measurement to quantify duration of
events?
Social phenomenon?
Classifications in time
Day and night (moon and sun divided day and
night )
Hours (sundial divided day to hours, 1day=24
hours)
Minutes (pendulum watches divided hours to
minutes,1hour =60 minutes)
Seconds (digital watches divide minute to
seconds,1 minute =60 seconds)
Ticks (NIST,Colourado made an atomic watch
counted by bombardment of atoms,1 second=
9,192,631,770 ticks )

Wormhole
A wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature
that would fundamentally be a shortcut through
spacetime. A wormhole is much like a tunnel with
two ends, each in separate points in spacetime
The wormhole takes a shortcut between two
different places and different times
By passing through it one can travel both past and
present
But compared with forward travel , till now there is
no sign of practical physics which can assure the
backward travel
But , wormholes can neither be created nor be
controlled by humans
So, wormhole concept is a bit doubtful at present
