Time Travel
Time is gold. This is probably one of the most cliché mottos
in life. I have heard this line since grade school, and up until now I still
hear this statement. What makes time so precious that they even compared it to
gold? When I was young, I didn't know yet the answer to this question. But as I've aged, I came to realize the answer. Time is as precious as gold because it is a
scarce resource. The amount of time is fixed. Its amount cannot be increased
nor decreased. However, the thing about time that makes it so precious is that
once it spent, it can never be retrieved or taken back.
This must be the reason why some human beings are obsessed
about time travel, especially travelling back to the past. The reason? What
else but correcting past mistakes. I admit that in this case, even I would want
to travel back to the past just to correct a mistake. It makes me curious how
things will be right now if I just didn’t make that mistake. Would things be
better? Would things still be the same? These questions are the reasons why
people are eager to develop a technology that permits time travel.
Time travelling has always been just possible in movies or
any science fiction piece. However, after watching the video, I realized that
there are scientists who are working very hard to make time travelling possible
and it seemed that they are nearing their goal. They think differently and have
their own theories about time. Oddly, as they explained their theories in the
film, what they were saying made sense. This gives me hope that maybe, just
maybe, time travelling will already be possible to us humans in the near
future.
