Time travel SHOCK: How Brian Cox PROVED Albert Einstein’s special theory – ...

Time travel is the concept of movement between certain points in time, relative to movement at any given point in space. It is uncertain if time travel to the past is physically possible, but forward time travel, outside the usual sense of the perception of time, is an extensively-observed phenomenon and well-understood within the framework of Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity and general relativity. The 20th-century scientist developed the idea that space and time are really aspects of the same thing—space-time.

There is a speed limit of 300,000km per second (or 186,000 miles per second) for anything that travels through space-time, and light always travels the speed limit through empty space.

Special Relativity says that something unique happens when you move through space-time, especially when your speed relative to other objects is close to the speed of light. 

Time goes slower for you than for the people you left behind, so you won't notice this effect until you return to those stationary people.

Professor Brian Cox demonstrated this idea during a BBC Doctor Who special, using a member of the audience to help – Professor Jim Al-Khalili.

There is no such thing as absolute time, but we don’t notice this in everyday life because the amount by which time slows down is minuscule

Brian Cox

He set up the Professor in a moving chair across the stage, with a beam of light moving up and down.

He said in 2015: “A beam of light bouncing between mirrors could be used to build a very accurate clock.

“Then Einstein imagined what
