Modern scientific research on time travel

Time travel and the time machine have been the subject of countless science fiction films for decades.

But these topics are not just about SF. Time travel is possible, say many scientists, and this field is a priority for them.

While many might think that time travel is absurd, some of the brightest scientists believe that this may become possible one day, according to Ancient-Origins.

Albert Einstein argued in his last years that the past, present and future can exist simultaneously. He conceived, moreover, the well-known theory of relativity.

So time is relative, and that's not just because Einstein said it.

However, if time travel would really be possible, people must have the ability to move through time.

Time travel, in antiquity

If we research the ancient texts, we find a series of references to time travel. In Hindu mythology, the story of King Raivata Kakudmi appears, who traveled back in time to meet the creator Brahma.

Even though this journey did not take long, when it returned to Earth, 108 "yugas" had passed on our planet (each yuga represents 4 million years). Brahma's explanation, given by Kakudmi, was that time flows differently in various planes of existence.

Similarly, the Qur'an provides an example of a group of young Christians who, in 250 AD. He tried to escape the persecution and retired to a cave in Al-Kahf. There, God put them to sleep, and they woke up over 309 years ago.

Another story comes from the Japanese legend of Urashima Taro. He said he visited the underwater palace of the god Dragon Ryujin. He only stayed there for three days, but by the time he returned to the surface, 300 years had passed.

In the Pali Canon Buddhist text it is said that in the heaven of the thirty Devas (the place of the gods), time passes at a different pace; thus, one hundred earthly years is equivalent to one day for the gods.

New informations about the Dead Sea Scrolls

The famous Dead Sea Scrolls continue to generate riddles, decades after their discovery. A recent study concluded that at least one different technique was used to obtain one of them than the rest, an unknown technique, unheard of to this day. The parchment that attracted the attention of researchers, one of the most important in the collection, is one with an age of almost 2.000 years, which has been remarkably well preserved, despite the conditions in which it was kept and despite its size. of the largest. Found by the Bedouins in 1956, north of the Dead Sea, it was sold to an antique dealer. He did not keep it in the best conditions, but still wrapped it in cellophane and stored it in a shoe box, hidden under the floor, according to Science Alert. The "Temple Parchment", as he is known, has survived, but is currently the thinnest of the parchments (a collection of about 900 pieces). It is only one tenth of a millimeter thick. However, it was preserved, and the material ...

Hundreds of metal spheres under pyramid in Mexico

Archaeologists have discovered hundreds of metal spheres buried under an ancient pyramid near Mexico City. Scientists have no idea what the mysterious balls were for. Jorge Zavala, an archaeologist at the National Institute of Anthropology and History in Mexico, described the discovery as "unprecedented." The spheres have been hidden for the last 1800 years in one of the most important pre-Hispanic temples in Mexico City, writes gizmodo.com. The city of Teotihuacan, just 45 kilometers from Mexico City, was once one of the largest cities in the world, with more than 100,000 inhabitants, at a time when only 200 million people lived on Earth. Its massive population makes it even more mysterious the total abandonment of the city in the year 700 of our era. The people of Teotihuacan knew very well that they would never return to the city, so before fleeing from it, they filled their much-loved temples with waste and garbage. Their level was so high that it took scientists only a f...

Oldest writing in the world

"The Danube Valley civilization is one of the oldest known civilizations in Europe. A German scientist, Harald Haarmann, claims that the oldest writing in the world appears on tablets discovered at Tartaria, in Romania. The tablets discovered in Romania are dated around 5,500 BC, and the symbols on them, according to the German linguist Harald Haarmann, belong to an ancient language, which has not yet been deciphered, according to Ancient Origins. These signs, which are called Vinca symbols, were found in several archeological sites, along the regions of the Danube Valley, they being inscribed on ceramics, figurines and other clay artifacts from that period. While some archaeologists believe that this writing represents only a series of geometric figures and symbols, others have argued that the sequence of symbols is the oldest writing ever discovered, it predates the Sumerian Mesopotamian and even the tablet Dispilio, which was dated. from the year 5,260 BC. The implications of...
