Time travel, possible?

Thursday, July 10, 2008

"Two Russian mathematicians have theorised that 2008 will be the first year time travel is possible, claiming the the giant atom-smasher at the European centre for nuclear research, Cern, near Geneva, could make it possible to travel backwards or forwards in time. The so-called wormhole is a theoretical joining of two portions of curved space-time which would transport an object into the future (or past) in an instant."

"As time travel can only go back, in theory, to the first ever time machine, explains the New Scientist, if the Russian mathematicians are correct, 2008 would be "Year Zero" and stand as a major landmark in world history."

"However as the New Scientist suggests, even though time travel is possible under the laws of physics, the difficulties of ever achieving this feat are immense. The Collider is also designed to study the nature of forces at a sub-atomic level and could therefore only be an accidental time machine. In other words, experts say though theoretically possible, time travel is considered highly unlikely."
