      Now that is a question that has been in people’s minds for many many years. From the dreamers and the storytellers and now in the mind of the scientists.

      The rules of physics do not actually say that time travel is impossible ….

      But for us to do that we need to travel faster than the speed of light. But a famous scientist called Einstein said that nothing in the Universe can get faster than light. However, what if something was already travelling faster than light to begin with? In that case, time travel would indeed be possible.

      Only last year, scientists may have discovered a particle that can travel faster than light. But they are still not sure yet and will have to check they have not made any mistakes.

      But it would be sooo cool if they are right.
