“MIRAGE OR MIRACLE” SERIES

Time Travel : Mirage or Miracle

“Wait a minute, Doc. Are You Telling Me You Built A Time Machine…Out of a DeLorean?” — Exactly…

From the climactic transitions of iconic thrilling science fiction to the heroics of neurotic navigation through the “epic” sciences of time, I think it’s safe to conclude that the incessant lunatic ravings of paranoid Hollywood has finally chauffeured us deep enough into this rabbit hole of overly-glorified time travel, to the point of no return. Such diabolical orchestrations of hilarious stupidity and pre meditated slaughters of a decrepit science, has been a true testament to mankind’s tragically mutated “modern” rendition of that infamous curiosity. Yet, in the frantic, sometimes frivolous, quest for giving the “benefit of the doubt”, let’s not take the tarnished reputation of time travel just for granted like the blind barbarians who so ignorantly pull the strings in society and try to reconcile time travel with viable science, perhaps this time not get derailed by fleeting fantasies of floating DeLoreans. In fear of using a cliche inevitability; “buckle up” for a volatile turbulent journey full of sceptic sarcasm and disturbing suicidal urges of mournful regret through the baffling maze of physics, just an occasional side effect in the “glamorous” world of science…or a grave warning.

Einstein & Relativity – A Rebellious Harmonic Ballad

Often visualized as the single most consequential pioneer who had audaciously impugned God’s “worldly” mechanisms behind the divine curtains or sometimes as unsparing incoherent ramblings echoing in lecture halls, Albert Einstein has always had his way with his “satanic witchcraft” of science. This unorthodox visionary whose “atrocious” revelations had once created a “New World Order” (although probably not in the creepy Illuminati way) has become a household hyperbolic expression to show off intellectual enlightenment or, in the case of ruthlessly hostile mothers, to show off their offspring’s tragic future in yet another hysteric tantrum. So what’s the big kahuna about and how does this superlative “maniac” fit into the humble genesis of time travel? The answer, spoiler alert, is pretty much everything.

Einstein’s reverie for a melodious “Theory of Everything” was largely based on the unsatisfactory mystique of Newtonian physics whose obstinate conquest for precise perfection sacrificed viable constructive scepticism. Instead the undeniable plot holes in the cryptic maths was embellished with some hallucinatory religious justifications and impetuously hammered into the mould of a hypothesis whose rampant propaganda sustains to this day: Gravity. The Theory of Relativity was basically Einstein’s meticulous vengeance on Newton’s half-baked shortsighted perception of gravity. This revolutionary celebrity feud of Relativity was largely enacted by the radical unification of space and time to procreate a 4 dimensional cosmic fabric on which the intricately programmed heavens unraveled, curving that fabric as a result of gravitational pull of matter.

Now what’s interesting about this audacious revolution and perhaps relevant to time travelling whose sight was seemingly surrendered a long time ago to inane distractions, is Einstein’s unique approach to time not as the feasible widely held firm constant regulating the Universe with a resolute iron fist but rather as a malleable entity with a mind of its own. What this brilliant “lunatic” insinuated through that esoteric epiphany debunking God’s “will-o’-the-wisp” was that time could distort reality as we perceive it, what used to be a default stability clarifying the shifting silhouettes of an illusionary reality, could seemingly bend it’s own rules, it could suddenly dilate and contract according to gravity, Time Travel was abruptly a viability…

Recipe for Time Travel : 88 mph on a DeLorean = Speed of Light in Real Life

Perhaps the most notorious celestial feature, infamous for its prolonged suspense, Black Holes, has always captivated scientists due to it’s arcane unpredictability, of course just a fuzzy visual confirmation decomposed to its bare pixels did not really help break that dramatic anonymity. Its incomprehensible gravitational oppression has torn apart the very fabric of space time to create an uncertain abyss leading up to a climactic dense singularity whose rogue doomsday speculations and “math breaking” existential crisis has cultivated some of the most likely theories of time travelling.

As gallantly decrypted earlier from an uncooperative Theory of Relativity, Einstein’s vision of time was malleable which is considered to be the 4th decisive dimension forming the canvas of the bigger picture; space time. So let’s explore the more scrupulously rebellious persona of the treasured duo of space time; time and discern the light at the end of this tedious puzzle of interstellar travel.

So what black holes are actually capable of doing with their invaluable resource of a crushing gravity is basically harvest that immense force to collapse the seemingly eloquent fabric of space time itself from whereon all sensibility gets severely deteriorated, sucking anything and everything in range of its Event Horizon with a bullying wrath. This is where the hypothesis takes that sci-fi rampant turn. As an object is being pulled into the said black hole with a disconcerting gravitational acceleration close to the speed of light, mystifyingly, the advancement of time seems to go backwards for it, time gets distorted as it’s subdued to contract, perhaps a rare glimpse in the intrinsic divine or the prophecised charter lands of Einstein’s Time Travelling. Of course, then there will be a brutal demise to greet in the swirling pits of the ferocious Devil but “Tomayto-Tomahto” I guess. Now this is where the slightly more promising “long term sustainability” comes into play.

Einstein-Rosen Bridge or, for the less enlightened, a Worm Hole concocts the idea that the ruthlessly merciless nature of Black Holes is an incomplete perception of a larger set who compliment each other’s existence by connecting to form an intergalactic conical burrow ripping through the distantces in space time. A mortifying flaw in the impeccable etiquette of the Universe offering a ridiculous cheat code in the banal flow of time, perhaps summoned as a reliable source of time travelling itself but of course, such radical eccentricities could only be verified with inhumane speeds parallel to the dictatorial Universe’s humbling speed limit, the speed of light. So is this it? The persistent curiosity of the abstruse heavens abandoned in the taming jurisdictions of trespassing reality? For Now…

Through the baffling tapestries along the tangled labyrinths of Einstein’s Relativity to the rugged wilderness of interstellar rides to the future, these treacherous catacombs of Time Travelling has sadly exhausted the relentless freedom of our cowering imagination. The viciously conservative administration of futile reality has yet again serenaded a victorious chuckle, stunting the noble wonders of human will as a ludicrous spectacle of our moronic fascination, but hey! From the first “amusing humiliations” of Descartes predicting atomic particles as the grand composers of the rhapsody sustaining the Universe itself to the “cacophonous stupidity” that shattered the melodious denial of the earth’s curvature, yesterday’s alienated sci-fi is just a reality waiting to be conceived. So perhaps the concept of Time Travel is a mischievously obscured lane teeming with the next audacious ambitions of a mysteriously poetic Universe. So I guess only time shall illuminate the ink of Time Travel along the colossal watersheds of humanity, either that or one fateful DeLorean whizzing through the historic 88mph, being chased by the highway patrol…
