Many have heard about time machine, but few people know that for the first time about the possibility of time travel was written by the writer Edward Mitchell in 1881. In his novel "the Clock that went backward", he described such a possibility, and then Hg wells coined the term "time machine".
As often happens, fiction has to some extent become prophets. After some time albert Einstein invented theory of relativity. And in our time attempts time travel was embodied in the large hadron Collider.
Generally people for many centuries dreamed to travel in time to witness, as was gladiatorial combat or jousting or what do the robots capture the planet in the future. And only in the last century humanity, thanks to the mathematician Kurt Godel found out that time travel is possible.
Based on the theory of relativity, gödel in 1949 came to the conclusion that the universe has a looped structure, which suggests the possibility of time travel. This requires only a very fast transport, which will serve as a time machine speeding up to 298 thousand kilometers per second (the speed of light). For example, solar beam dwells on the Earth in 8 minutes 19 seconds, breaking the 150 million kilometers. If any device will be able to accelerate faster, it will go to the future or the past.
Perhaps the most promising experiment on overtaking time was the one that began in 1983, scientists started the development and construction of the large hadron Collider, the giant tube sizes, the length of which is 27 kilometers, and inside the vacuum. The main objective of the project was to accelerate matter so much to exceed the speed of light and jump into another time. The first significant successes were obtained in April 2012, when scientists announced that they have reached speeds close to the speed of light. It was a real triumph because earlier in vacuum to achieve this speed could not be anyone, however, to overcome the speed of light in the experiment, and failed.
However, during the experiment some results were still achieved. So, scientists were was a phenomenon associated with the fact that during movement at a high speed elementary particle moved in time in the opposite direction relative to the natural course of events.
These results gave scientists the American University of Vanderbilt's Thomas Weiler and Ho Chiu-Mann. They came to the conclusion that the large hadron Collider is, in fact, the world's first time machine created by man. In addition, during the experiments, the researchers came to the conclusion that the so-called Higgs boson (a hypothetical particle responsible for the origin of the mass of matter) in the collision of particles, which occurs at high speed, there are absolutely new types of bosons a singlet. It was suggested that these singlet Higgs bosons can travel in time. While the particle capture is not difficult, since the signal on its detection is logged just before the collision generates its beams.
Note that the hypothesis of Weiler and Ho based on so-called M-theory, the next hypothesis of "theory of everything". It explains all the fundamentals of the universe in the language of mathematical formulas.
Currently science is at a very advanced stage of development, however, it is not able to provide practical solutions to time travel. And even if you did manage to prove the existence of singlet bosons and their ability to move in the direction of the past, it will not give even a theoretical chance to move with them, living beings or objects into the past. If only people can learn to control the properties of the singlet bosons, with their help, it would be theoretically possible to send in the past different kind of message. But it is necessary to weigh all "for" and "against", because this can not only save humanity, but cause considerable damage.
Anyway, despite the assurances of scientists that the large hadron Collider is the world's first time machine, after all he is not the only one. Some scientists say that there is an alternative method of time travel – the so-called black holes. They are not fully understood. And all because of watching them, even by the most powerful telescope is very difficult.
And to find black holes is possible only with the help of x-rays. At the same time, astrophysicists understand how black holes are formed. Giant stars that existed millions of years ago, passed all stages of development, and then died. Sources gradually faded and shrunk to a small size. But their weight remained very large, and therefore formed the lump turned out very dense and heavy.
According to scientists, if the Earth turned into a black hole, it would still be pea-less than a centimeter in diameter. The force of gravity would remain the same as now.
Black holes tighten all that is within their gravitational field. According to scientists, that black holes are somewhat like a time machine created by the space. However, to seriously consider a black hole as a variant of a time machine is impossible, because, according to scientists-physicists before the person reaches the zone where the laws of gravity, the same gravity he would be killed (people will start to decompose to molecules already at the entrance to a black hole).
That is why scientists believe that proof that a time machine will be invented in the future, you need to look in the distant past. And most likely, some of the descendants still manages to create a real time machine or learn to pass through black holes. As evidence of such developments give scientists the large number of artifacts that have been discovered in different parts of the planet randomly.
So, for example, in the Alps in 1991 was discovered the mummy under a layer of snow. Archaeologists claim that it was buried under snow 5300 years. With the help of modern technology managed to restore a person's appearance. He was named ötzi. But the strangest thing was that this man was a stone scraper, which was used for a few million years before his death (in the Paleolithic), and silicon knife that was used by people 10 of thousands of years ago, and a copper axe. It is known that in Europe copper has been in use only a couple of centuries after the death of ötzi.
Another archeological find and has not received an explanation. In 2008, in China, in the excavation of the graves, which dated from the fifteenth century, archaeologists discovered the Swiss watch brand Swiss with serial number. The clock was made in the nineteenth century...
Earlier people could only dream about time travel. Now modern science has gotten to the time travel. Scientists have put forward incredible at first glance, the hypothesis of closed time curves. This hypothesis suggests that the time streams are in troubled waters and come back, but in order for that to happen, certain conditions are necessary. Currently, this is only a theory, and to practice in the near future is unlikely to reach, but the fact that such a hypothesis exists is the first step towards the creation of a machine for time travel.
While scientists are struggling to confirm this hypothesis, individuals have found practical application. According to some scholars, using the theory of closed curves it is possible to improve the computer so to speed up the computational process and reduce the error. Then the computer will be closer in processing speed to the human brain. At present a quantum computer is just a theory, but it could be the prototype of a time machine. It is possible that in a short time, theoretical studies will move into a practical phase, and will first wish to travel in a time machine.
