Reaction Paper : Time Travel

The world being 4D, which means that there exists another dimension not really often tackled, has caught the interest of many physicists and the like. And the other complex dimension is time. “Time is gold” has been a common expression which pertains to how precious time is for people. Because of its importance, many people want to control time, either to go back in time or to go through time to arrive in the future. However, this might pose many implications, both positive and negative.

Tinkering with time is like exploring the unknown. One is not guaranteed what the past or future beholds for a person who is time travelling. Could time travelling really help people? If one goes back in time, what will happen to the person’s present or even future self? Same thing if one advances to the time of the future. And the twist of it, will there actually be a way for its success to be reported if one becomes actually gone after “time travelling” and might not be able to come back? Although it will be a great feat for science and technology to be able to conduct time travelling, there are just many things at stake. Especially since it affects the present, some might turn out better while others might turn out worse. The risk in “playing” with time doesn’t just involve a person, but even a whole society.

Personally, I think that time travelling is not a completely good idea. First and foremost, it deals with a human life and life should be the most important priority. Moreover, like what has been portrayed in films or dramas about time travelling, there is always a price to pay. If time will always be accessible to everyone, then time wouldn’t be that valuable anymore and will be neglected. It might be even misused or taken advantage of.

We live in the present; all in the past is just a memory and the future remains uncertain, always a prediction. The complexity of time travelling and its implications is a puzzle which will always linger in the curious minds of the people unless it is proven or disproven with enough proofs to convince everyone.
