Although time/space are intrinsically linked and the concept of time and space becomes more definite, we struggle to imagine how time travel would work. Travelling through time has been thought of since the acknowledgement that time passes. Early cave-paintings even show the wish of cavemen to visit their long-dead ancestors by somehow being able to build a time machine. That curiosity lives on now, in the present. As our science becomes more and more accurate there are certain laws of nature that seemingly can't be broken, such as travelling faster than the speed of light or creating artificial gravity. I intend to prove that time travel is not only possible but in fact occurring right now at some point in time. The often used method of travelling through time is some kind of vehicle that has been given the mechanical ability to travel through time, although this is rather limiting in scope due to the known laws of physics. I believe that time travel would be far more different than the concept of using a vehicle to move a relative time/space area (such as a car and it's passengers) into events and locations beyond the usual means of locomotion. Instead the mode of travel would be as strange an idea that heating water can power trains or that conversations are beamed up into space.
Firstly we must question the notion of time. Modern physics explains that time is a sort of ooze that is beamed out from stars, the larger the star, the more time is processed. Black holes are capable of producing so much time that it seems to slow observers to a constant moment upon reaching the even horizon, whilst gas giants orbiting pulsars flicker between surges of action and reaction. There are multiple other explanations of what time is, though by inventing machines and then trying them we can truly learn the concept of how time works. It is like treating an unknown disease with a variety of cures. Eventually you will be able to diagnose what happened simply through what the cure was. Mathematics are the waste product of time, the explanation of events through physics, biology, chemistry make sense due to the entire concept that time moving linearly, an illusion brought on by classical mathematics. In fact the most accurate language of how time works exists beyond a mixture of alphanumeric characters and into a new area in communication, advanced fourth dimensional pictographs that can explain the nature of time as deeply as our current understanding is of space.
The methods therefore should be different to our current modes of travelling through space. Though we may use a rocket to get to the moon, the mode of transport would be drastically different for time traveller's to go back a hundred years. Some scientists believe that time itself isn't real and that the entirety of existence are moments the sizes of universes, each moment a minuscule bead on a chain that stretches away to infinite in both directions. Our consciousnesses simply drift through these series of universes as if time happened coherently rather than exactly at the same time, on some scale. There is also the far-out notion that many parallel worlds exist due to the collapsed wave function of an event growing another universe due to every combination of action and reaction needing to happen for anything to happen. Huge ships that could travel on this scale could easily navigate between these parallel dimensions, arriving at any moment almost instantaneously. The size of these super ships would have to be at least quite a few times bigger than our entire universe in order to quickly travel in the space between time.
It is also arguable that scaled down versions of time travel would take less energy than travelling further through time. Going back just a few days would be a lot easier than travelling thousands of years. Time is indeed malleable, events have often been decided and occurred in the immediate future as they have in the recent past. Certain preceding events that have a strong impact on space can be predicted accurately through certain measurements taken in the present. One of these ways is auto-telepathy, where one broadcasts thoughts to oneself backward and forward in time simultaneously to perceive time differently. Time travel can often mean simply transporting the conciousness rather than the entire body. Due to every standard particle being connected on a quantum level, the projection of the conciousness is easy upon identifying where your conciousness will exist at previous or upcoming moment in time. Similar to running simulations on a computer, thought processes can occur that would exactly match a potential experience one has yet to live through, a highly advanced theoretical psychic exercise undertaken without the use of technology.
Other methods of travelling through recent time could potentially involve some sort of vehicle that exists temporarily outside of time in order to join it at an earlier or later date. Astrophysicists argue that there was no time before the big bang. This would be the best place for time traveller's to generally exist, just as aeroplanes leave the earth in order to land somewhere else, time machines could potentially break away from time temporarily. For longer periods of time this would become difficult due to the effect existing outside of time has on physical objects that require time to properly exist. Action and reaction would break down on at least a biological level, a human being may die and be brought back to life simultaneously for eternity, at least through there perception. That is why it is important to train the mind to think of time in a level more akin to how it actually is rather than our rudimentary understanding of seconds passing by. Physiologically we experience time in the same way that the primitive eyes of molluscs can barely sense light. A snail will never be able to properly appreciate a great work of art on a visual level and so it must understand it in it's own way, perhaps by evolving to a state in which it is able to. As humans we must also begin to think of time as abstractly as this and encourage different perceptions of time, just as our perception of time will have changed over the past five hundred years so it will change in the next five hundred. And so on.
