The Near is Still so Far

If we could travel into the past, it's mind-boggling what would be possible. For one thing, history would become an experimental science, which it certainly isn't today. The possible insights into our own past and nature and origins would be dazzling. For another, we would be facing the deep paradoxes of interfering with the scheme of causality that has led to our own time and ourselves. I have no idea whether it's possible, but it's certainly worth exploring.
-CARL SAGAN, NOVA interview, Oct. 12, 1999
Time machine is, hands-out, the most intricate human fancy for the last generations. It is that machine that feeds our own craves to see the past or the future and set the world in our hands in whatever period we want to be. For some, it is lunatic misconception for it fools us that we can change the past mistakes we’ve done and avoid tragedies in the future. If there is one thing that I think will really not be possible, even with the prolonged passage of time and technological advancement, time travel will be the top choice in my list. Fiction novels and Hollywood movies have given us this false illusion that it will exist in due time. Funny because it reflects humankind’s obsession to this phenomena, which in reality, will break the laws of physics as explained by many scientific theories, especially those of Einstein’s.

I admit that I am also one of those stupid fanatics who also dream of being able to walk in the ghost of my past. Period. But with whatever reasons, time-travel still and will also always hunt my life, giving me the creeps of wanting to see the “uncertain”. I am already talking non-sense here. Haha.
