Time travel into the future is totally possible

b"Time travel into the future is totally possible not).\\n\\nAnd what's even cooler is that you can skip forward in time if you feel like it.\\n\\nWell, let me be clear, you need to do a little bit of engineering first.\\n\\nWe know through the physics of Einstein's special theory of relativity that you can trade motion in space for motion in time. If you're standing perfectly still, you're moving through the dimension of time at a particular speed (the speed of light, for those of you who are curious). As soon as you start moving through space, however, you slow down your rate of moving through time.\\n\\nIn other words, the faster you move in space, the slower you move in time.\\n\\nThis means that moving objects, like a clock on a rocket, run a little bit slow. One second for someone in a moving spaceship lasts a little bit longer than a second for someone staying still.\\n\\n\\nThe trick is that in order for this to have any sort of noticeable impact, you have to get close to the speed of light, which is really hard to do\\u2014to give you some perspective, astronauts that orbit the Earth at tens of thousands of miles per hour are off by only a microsecond or so from our clocks on the ground.\\n\\nOur fastest human spacecraft don't even crack a tenth of a percent of the speed of light. But if you could somehow spend a good amount of time hugging close to that ultimate speed limit in the universe, the slower your clock will run. You will travel through time into the future. Nothing will feel different for you, but after a couple of years' journey you would return to the Earth to find our clocks advanced by thousands or even tens of thousands of years, depending on how fast you go.\\n\\nSo the future is yours, and you get to choose how quickly you reach it.\\n\\n \\nSource Universe Today \\n\\nFeedback to editors\\nRelated\\n\\nVideo: Can wormholes act like time machines?\\nApr 30, 2020\\n\\nWhat time is it in the universe?\\nAug 29, 2014\\n\\nStephen Hawking's final book suggests time travel may one day be possible \\u2013 here's what to make of it\\nNov 09, 2018\\n\\nHow are galaxies moving away faster than light?\\nOct 13, 2015\\n\\nDoes light experience time?\\nMay 08, 2014\\n\\nTesting the symmetry of space-time by means of atomic clocks\\nMar 13, 2019\\nRecommended\\nLoad comments (27)\\n \\n\\nSolving complex physics problems at lightning speed\\n6 minutes ago\\n\\nSpecific bacteria in the gut prompt mother mice to neglect their pups\\nJan 29, 2021\\n\\nIslands without structure inside metal alloys could lead to tougher materials\\nJan 29, 2021\\nGenes that dance to the circadian rhythm\\nJan 29, 2021\\nAccurate drug dosages with proton traps\\nJan 29, 2021\\nNew study investigates photonics for artificial intelligence and neuromorphic computing\\nJan 29, 2021\\nArchaeologist argues the Chumash Indians were using highly worked shell beads as currency 2,000 years ago\\nJan 29, 2021\\nNew psychological model predicts who panic-buys during times of crisis\\nJan 29, 2021\\nResearchers demonstrate how to measure student attention during remote learning\\nJan 29, 2021\\nReindeer lichens are having more sex than expected\\nJan 29, 2021\\nDirect coherent multi-ink printing of fabric supercapacitors\\nJan 29, 2021\\nFEATURE"
