Introduction

Through the annals of literature, history and science, time travel has been a popular object of discussion. Is it possible? What would happen if you changed something?
What about that grandparent paradox? So many questions asked about one seemingly simple concept – moving through time. But is it that simple? No. Let’s say you were to go twenty years into the future. But wait, in twenty years time, the earth would have moved, the universe would have moved, you would be stuck in space…where you would most likely suffocate, explode, or just plain die. So that brings in another concept – Space.

Dimensions

To fully explain time travel, we have to explain its components. Time, is the fourth dimension. Space itself, consists of the first three dimensions – latitude, longitude and altitude, or to put it simply, length, width and height. To achieve time travel, you would have to traverse all four dimensions. Now let’s put the dimensions in consideration.

First dimension:

Ok, you have a dot, the beginning of everything. Yes, a dot.
.
Now imagine that dot moving in a straight line.
_________________________________
There, The first dimension. It is nothing but a line. But because it has now created distance, there can be movement, which is extremely important for time travel; partly because travel involves movement of some sort. So there we have it the first dimension. It goes on forever from each end and never ends.

Second dimension:

The second dimension, more commonly known as 2-D, is even simpler to comprehend. Just imagine your first dimensional line with parallels stuck directly at its sides and the replication of this until you have a plane. Look at a piece of paper, that’s your second dimension. Simply a flat plane. If the three dimensions together would make a house, the second dimension is simply, your floor. It, like the first dimension, never ends on all its sides.

Third dimension:

The third dimension, 3-D, space or simply, the universe. It is what we live in…or rather, a frame of what we live in. It is merely tons of second dimensions piled on top and below your original 2-D plane. See, a box, that’s what 3-D kind of looks like. It is what allows us to exist. It is what gives us volume. It gives us the ability to traverse space. It is space.
And because it is formed via the second dimension, which is formed by the first dimension, it is never-ending, much like our own universe.

Fourth dimension:

Now we come to the fourth dimension. Think of all the three dimensions as a dot. Yes, a dot. A frame of our existence.
.
Now imagine that dot moving in a straight line.
__________________________________
Yes, the fourth dimension is the ‘first dimension’ in the set of existential dimensions. Meaning, it is the first step to allowing us to live as we do daily, because the third dimension is merely a frame of existence. The fourth dimension, time, allows us to have days, and nights and weeks and years. Every multiplication of that dot to create the line is the dot, at a different stage in time. So yes, you could argue that by just living, we are in a form of time travel. But what we really want is to travel time at a different rate. As for the fifth and sixth dimensions, they are what we call alternate realities. Their existence is based on theory. We cannot prove their existence, nor can they affect us. Thus, in this conversation, they have no use.

Time Travel

Now we have our dimensions, we have to discover how to traverse them. Moving in the first three dimensions is easy, just walking would be sufficient. But to move at a faster rate forwards in the fourth, or perhaps just backwards, would be far more difficult. To traverse time, one must break out of the three dimension sphere we live in and move into the next. To do this, one has to go extremely fast and extremely far, considering that your universe, or 3-D, is infinite. After that, one would have to enter the next universe and then, find earth again. Furthermore, the entire journey would have to take a grand total of 0 seconds. Yes 0, not 0.1, not 0.01, 0. If not then it would be useless because, every unit of time would have another ‘dot’. This means that to actually make a significant hop in time, one would have to traverse billions upon billions of these ‘dots’, all in 0 seconds or perhaps just faster that time can move itself. But then comes the danger that you are not going in the correct direction. Meaning, you might end up back in time, forwards in time, or perhaps into an alternate reality. Thus, though time travel is possible in theory, it would be impossible, at least in the near future, to time travel.

Infinity and Beyond

So what lies beyond the sixth dimension might allow us a glimpse into what might allow time travel. But unlike you would like to believe, the seventh dimension, isn’t a dimension at all. It is merely a sort of viewing gallery where every time can be seen and where it itself does not have time. It is what us Christians call Heaven and Hell. The basis behind this is that when one dies, the spirit no longer withholds a sense of time, which removes all the other dimensions with it. Thus it is in turn possible to go in to the seventh dimension where neither of these actually exists. No time, just eternal bliss, or damnation. To enter it, time and space must be relinquished and because our bodies are as so, we have to die and let our spirits take us there. So cheer up, time travel won’t be possible in your lifetime…but when you die, you possibly might be able to time watch!
