As Above So Below

While spending 803 days, 9 hours, 39 minutes on the International Space Station, Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev circled the Earth at 7.66 km/s – and traveled in time. When he returned to Earth in 2013, he was 0.02 seconds in the future, according to Universe Today. This was just what Einstein predicted with his Special Theory of Relativity way back in 1905.

So why can’t at least one of the many time travel claims be real?...

Time travel accounts litter history, from English women vacationing in France in 1901 who claimed they stepped into the French Revolution, to RAF Air Marshal Sir Robert Victor Goddard flying over a Scottish airfield in 1935 and seeing it as it would be in 1939, to numerous accounts of people driving on a familiar road and seeing an old building they had never seen before.

"In 2003, Springfield, Missouri, college student Jake Kell encountered someone at a convenience store who made him wonder if time travel was possible.

As Kell pumped gasoline into his truck, a bald man in a business suit yelled, “What year is it?” at him from across the parking lot. The suit, Kell noticed, wasn’t typical. It was, “along the lines of the things Teddy Roosevelt could wear.”

The man yelled at him again. “What year is it?” Kell would have panicked, except the man didn’t look crazy and was obviously well dressed. He was just angry.

“Two-thousand three,” Kell told him. The man’s face turned red, and he screamed the question again.

Kell told him 2003 one last time, then got into his truck. When Kell looked in the rear-view mirror, the man was gone. He wasn’t in the parking lot, he wasn’t in front of the store, and Kell didn’t see the man through the large plate glass windows on the front of the store.

The man had simply disappeared."

For some reason, I keep thinking there is a way to travel back to the past and observe it but not participate in it or change it. Almost like, the people, things, and events of the past still exist and can be accessed and observed. In my thinking, photography, recorded sound, and motion pictures were the first tiny steps towards discovering just how to do this.

I remember seeing Stephen Hawking recently saying time travel to the past wasn't possible.

Well, he would sure know better than I would. Still, it is something I think about. I guess I have a reason to since I do History for a living!
