8、n writers. The “grandfather paradox” is the argument that many people use to suggest that time travel is impossible. What if you went back in time and prevented your grandfather from meeting your grandmother so that your mother was never born? Then you would never have been born . and so on.Until ve
9、ry recently such arguments led most scientists to believe that time travel could never exist outside science fiction. But amazingly, some interpretations of the weirdness of the quantum world now suggest that time travel is possible at least in theory.Gravity and black holesEinsteins theory of relat
10、ivity brought space and time together in a single, four-dimensional arrange-ment that he called space-time. We know that we can travel forwards, backwards and sideways in space, so why not forwards and backwards in time?Four dimensions are difficult to imagine, so physicists usually suggest you thin
11、k of space-time as a rubber sheet stretched out flat. If there are no large masses around, the sheet stays flat, and so any object placed on it will move around in straight lines. But a large mass, such as the sun, makes a dip in the sheet because it actually warps space-time. Now any other object w
12、ith smaller mass, like our earth, moving about in space-time rolls into the dip as it comes past the sun. It appears “attracted” to the large mass. This effect of warping space-time is what gives rise to gravity.The Universe is full of heavy objects exerting gravitational effects and the net result
13、is that space-time is not flat at all but curved. Everything, including light, has to follow curved paths in space-time. We know Einstein was right about this because astronomers can sometimes see distant stars that ought to be masked by nearer objects such as the sun. Instead of traveling in straig
14、ht lines and hence being blocked, the light from the stars bends round the obstruction.When a star reaches the end of its life it mat collapse inwards under the influence of its own gravity to such an extent that all its matter becomes concentrated into an extremely dense object, a fraction of its o
15、riginal size. This is a black hole. Black holes have such a huge gravitational pull that nothing can escape from them, not even light. We cannot see them but we have good evidence that they are being pulled about by a nearby invisible object with enormous mass.What does a black hole do to space-time
16、? Relativity predicts that at the center of a black hole is an infinitely dense point, called a singularity, within which all the normal laws of physics no longer apply. Time, space, matter and energy no longer have any well-defined meaning. Einsteins equations show that such a singularity doesnt ju
17、st make a dip in the imaginary rubber sheet of space- time, it makes a tunnel that goes right through and momentarily opens out on the other side. Where is “the other side”? It could be somewhere else in space-time, either in the future or in the past, or it could even be in another Universe! Suppos
18、edly it was Derwoods Time lords who first harnessed the power of a black hole to begin their experiments in time travel. If you could take a space trip through such a tunnel, or wormhole, you would have discovered the secret of time travel. This is of course impossible with todays technology. But in
19、 the future, who knows?Many worlds, many futures?To return to the question that has puzzled thinkers since Newtons day, is the future preordained? Or are there a quantum world suggests that not only are there an infinite number of futures? One way of looking at the quantum world suggests that not on
20、ly are realized in an infinite number of universes.Photons and electrons sometimes behave as waves and sometimes as particles, but never both at the same time. So far, the argument for interference between one universe and another applies only to events occurring at the quantum level.But the idea of
21、 parallel universes provides a possible resolution to the “grandfather paradox” that might otherwise cause problems for time travelers. If we travel back in time and change history, we launch ourselves into a new future in a parallel universe but we have no effect on the present one from which we st
22、arted out.Scientists of the future may well pursue a new form of futuristic technology based on quantum effects. Such applications could include quantum teleportation, by which a quantum particle can be teleported from one point in space to another; and quantum computation, where calculations can be
23、 carried out which would take many years on a conventional computer. Although we now know how to measure time very accurately, have we come any nearer to answering the basic question “What is time?”.PleiadesThe Pleiades is known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45. It is roughly 500 light years from
24、 Earth. There are actually about two hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand stars with this cluster that have been counted including the 7 major ones that have been known throughout antiquity. The cluster contains thousands of stars, of which only a handful can be seen by naked eyes. The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 130 parsecs (425 light years) away.
