The Reality of Time-Travel is Closer Than You Think

Nov. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Winfield, Illinois –   The stuff of Science-Fiction is approaching science-fact.  Travel through time may be closer than we think.  Of course there's a catch.  You can't go back in time.  At least not with the technology that's within our reach.  But time-travel into the future is not only possible, but probably inevitable from 500 years from now to as early as the end of this century.      
   "There's two ideas that allow time-travel into the future."  This according to Steve Nubie, the author of a new time-travel novel titled No Time Like The Present , a book based on 20 years of research.  "Two things affect space and time.  Gravity and speed.  It's the gravity field that we may be able to construct in the next 100 years or so that will make it all possible."
   But Nubie's not the only one talking about time-travel into the future.  "According to both Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein any time-travel will be restricted to the future. That's a bit of a disappointment to some."  Said Nubie.  "Most of the books and movies about time-travel dwell on traveling back to change events somehow.  But if you think about it, traveling forward could have even more devastating consequences.  Especially when you consider that some physicists seem to believe we might actually have the technology to do it within the next 3 or 4 generations."  
   Nubie was philosophical as he recounted the potential consequences.  "It’s a perfect escape from a troubled past or a disappointing present.  It’s a place where miraculous cures and advanced technology promise a life of ease and leisure - unless of course everybody decides to go."  
    No Time Like The Present is Nubie's 3rd book, but the effort took 2 decades.  "I started doing research because I wanted the technology in the story to be both believable and feasible.  The more I wrote, the more it became apparent that I needed to understand the evolution of languages, changes in star formations over thousands of years, physics and astrophysics, the evolution of cultures, belief systems and on and on.  20 years later I looked at the final draft and knew it was ready."
   Numerous books have been written on the subject but the vast majority are based on travel back in time rather than forward.  Nubie was clear about his approach.  "I kept the idea of traveling back in time out of the story for the simple reason that it's not feasible.  At least not in the near future.  What I really wanted to explore was the range of consequences that our great-great-grandchildren may in fact confront.  It's a leap of faith to jump forward in time.  You don't know what you're going to walk into and there's no going back.  For many people who choose to take the leap, they will look back and come to the simple conclusion that there simply was no time like the present."
