If you could travel backward or forward in time,which direction would you go,and what would you do
when you got there lt's the stuff of books,television shows,movies and daydreams,from H.G.Wells'The
Time Machine to the Back to the Future trilogy()-not to mention the recent movies Frequently Asked
Questions Abou Time Traveling,Time Traveler's Wife and Hot Tub Time Machine.
There s no such thing as time travel as it appears in science fiction.It's not possible now,nor can it ever
Lecome possible in the future.We can prove that to ourselves simply by answering the question:"where are
they al.the time travelers "If time travel were ever to become possible in the remote future,we would all.
nght now.be crowded out by people hanging around in silver catsuits().
"This kind of time machine would violate a fundamental rule that cause comes before effect."said
Stephen Hawking,the great physicist,in a Ty program on the Discovery channel."I believe things cannot
make themselves impossible.So it won't be possible to travel back to the past."
Bul it does happen all the time in books.It's an appealing fantasy-to be able to actually go back to see
what i was really like.No matter what the fantasy,though,all writers must create for us a world which is well
do get heroes and heroines involved and thus arrest our eyes.The major issue is to decide whether your
characters can change the past.
If ume travel is in faot possible,it seems to me the only way it could work is for the traveler to find
hf transported to a place where he can neither be seen by,nor interact in any way with the locals.He is
merely a watcher.A witness to the facis.That may explain where all those silver catsuited people are-
they're watching invisibly over your shoulder while you read these notes.
