Let’s Begin…
Time travel is a staple of science fiction stories, but is it actually possible? It turns out nature does allow a way of bending time, an exciting possibility suggested by Albert Einstein when he discovered special relativity over one hundred years ago. Colin Stuart imagines where (or, when) this fascinating phenomenon, time dilation, may one day take us.
Think about what it might be like for someone from the 21st century arriving back to Earth in the year 9000. Can you see any problems they might encounter? Imagine if someone from 7000 years ago arrived now.
