THE TALE OF THE TIME TRAVELER

Time travel as you all might already be aware of is an act of moving across time. As simple as it sounds this concept has boggled scientists and aging women for years. Almost all the secret government agencies are working for humans to travel back in time or perhaps in the future as well; to change the course of horrible events such as demonetization.

Like most kids I first got to know about the concept of time travel from Doremon who was a fluffy robot from the future send back to the past to help Nobita outdo his bullies. What a waste of time travel, because most of the time he ended up being bullied. I mean if he already knew that Nobita was about to hit by Jian (since you are from the freakin future), why didn’t he just warn him. However flawed the concept was, Doremon really piqued my interest in time travel and I always wanted to know what the future people would be like. Little did I know that they would be the same but with a mask and a phone glued to their hands.   

Now talking from a perspective of someone a little more qualified than Doremon, physicist Albert Einstein believed that time is an illusion; it is relative and can vary for different observers depending on your speed through space. To Einstein, time is the "fourth dimension." Space is described as a three-dimensional arena, which provides a traveler with coordinates — such as length, width, and height —showing location. Time provides another coordinate — direction — although conventionally, it only moves forward. So basically, when we tell someone we are 5 minutes away (actually an hour away) we are telling the distance in the fourth dimension – time.

Although Stephen Hawking has said that time travel is not possible. He explained that he had organized a party for time-travelers, but had sent out the invitations after the party. "I sat there a long time, but no one came”, he said, probably they didn’t want to come but who wouldn’t want to go to a party thrown by Stephen Hawking? This contradicts the assumptions made by Einstein that if we travel at a speed greater than the speed of light then we might be able to travel back and forth in time. There are other ways of traveling through time which involves wormholes or black holes which again is controversial and unexplored for the world presently. Let’s sit back and relax until there is an actual movement across time. Because once we are able to travel in time, I have a few things and matters I would like to amend from my past which mostly includes better comebacks and buuuhuuu’s I didn’t say!

Not only the scientists, governments, and I; time travel has tickled the creative bones of the great moviemakers of all time. There are tons of movies based on this concept ‘Back to the Future’, ‘Star Trek’, ‘End game’, “Love Story 2050’, and my absolute favorite ‘Action Replay’; the one in which Akshay Kumar and Aditya Roy Kapoor had the ugliest hair. That’s the time travel I am talking about!

Real Cinema!

The question that still remains unanswered is, can we change the course of the future by traveling in the past? If a person goes in the past and changes the way things happened wouldn’t it change the entire course of events? And what would happen to the future me, will I change? If I go back in time and thrash myself whenever I eat junk, would I be slimmer? Well, these valued questions are and will remain unanswered until further notice.

 

Meanwhile somewhere in the Future……………….(daannn daaann daan) 

COMMUTER: “Captain? You summoned me?”

CAPTAIN: “Yes! I wanted to speak with you, commuter. It is time you go back in 'time'; the humans have screwed up again.”

COMMUTER: “Those assholes. What is it World war-3?”

CAPTAIN: “No, worse than that, anyway, go back to 2019-2020 and 

a)     Stop the spread of a virus named as ‘world-wide-virus’ which was earlier known as ‘coronavirus’

b)     Stop Kanye West from running the presidential elections

c)      Stop Arnab Goswami from yelling “Suddenness, the sheer suddenness of the move. The unexpected nature of the move, the unpredictability of the move.” Or else he would be trolled heavily on twitter.

That’s all for now, you must not be seen. Act like them don’t make any sudden moves because the sheer suddenness of the move and the unpredictability of the move can make them suspicious that you are in fact from the future. To blend well amongst the humans, make an Instagram account by the name of “Karisma of Karan’ and your bio must read ‘Cut cake on 19^th July, I am my own boss.' Also post stories about all the recent events, food, and songs you listen on Spotify; they will suspect nothing.”

COMMUTER: “What if they try to stop me?”

CAPTAIN: “They won’t, they aren’t aware of the repercussions of a Kanye as a president yet.”

COMMUTER: “No, about the virus, won't they try to stop me from not letting someone eat a bat. Won’t the FBI try to stop me.”

CAPTAIN: “The FBI? Are you mad? What are you, a Soviet spy? They won’t care what you do. Nobody will suspect a thing. Those ignorant fools don’t know what eating a bat and sitting together and shaking hands can do to them. They became so lazy sitting at home that now they don’t even go out to take photos. Everybody is so fond of work from home and watching everything on Netflix. No wonder Netflix is the ruler of the planet now. They used Netflix and chill instead of divide and rule and took over the government from Kanye which wasn’t so hard.”

COMMUTER: “Alright then Captain, see you soon. When and how shall I leave?”

CAPTAIN: “You must go as soon as possible. Go to the nearest Walmart store and purchase a foldable time machine, I prefer the one in Beige color and set out to this great mission. While you are there would you bring me a crate of cheese popcorn, they stopped making popcorns here so as to avoid people missing theatres.”

COMMUTER: “okay okay just one more thing, if I go back in the past wouldn’t it change the entire course of the future. What would this new future bring for us.?”

CAPTAIN: “Don’t worry about this. The future will be past and past will be present.”

COMMUTER: “Woah Woah that’s confusing.”

CAPTAIN: “I know! Just shut up and go. They will believe this, they believed  everything that happened in Dark.”
