Time travel refers to the concept of moving between different points in time, either forwards or backwards. It is a popular subject in science fiction, but is still a debated topic in the scientific community.
General Relativity is a theory of gravity developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. It explains how objects with mass interact with each other and how gravity affects the fabric of space-time.
According to the theory of General Relativity, time travel is possible. However, it is currently not feasible with our current technology and understanding of physics. The theory allows for the possibility of time dilation, which means that time can pass at different rates for different observers.
Theoretically, General Relativity allows for the possibility of traveling to the past. However, it would require manipulating space-time in ways that are currently beyond our capabilities. Some scientists also argue that time travel to the past may create paradoxes and is therefore not possible.
Traveling to the future is also theoretically possible according to General Relativity. This would involve time dilation, where time would pass slower for the traveler compared to those on Earth. However, this would require traveling at speeds close to the speed of light, which is currently not achievable with our technology.
