Shocking Research: It's Possible to Stop Time

According to researchers, time can be stopped. This revelation has caused much surprise and at the same time brought hope to people with the wish of time travel at some point becoming a reality.

Time can be stopped according to some scientists.

Experts have revealed that it is possible to stop the passage of time, although it may seem impractical to do so. To understand how time can be stopped, one must really understand Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Einstein stated that the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second, and remains constant throughout the universe. This incredible speed remains the same even if the observer is moving relative to it.

The speed of light is incredible - about 299,792,458 meters per second.

However, according to research from the University of Southern Maine, our perception of light can change.

Theoretically, what could change our perception of time is a phenomenon called 'time dilation'. Time dilation is the difference in time as measured by two clocks. Imagine one clock is placed on a spaceship traveling close to or equal to the speed of light and another is placed on Earth.

As the spacecraft reaches the speed of light, time will separate from both the clocks on Earth and on the spacecraft. Since the speed of light is the same for both, time will appear to move much slower on the rocket.

There was a difference in time in two different environments.

Time dilates on moving ships: the greater the speed, the greater the time dilation, says research from the University of Maine. Only when such velocities approach the speed of light do the effects become large enough to be significant.

So it can be assumed that a ship could reach the speed of light and time on board would stop completely.

Imagine for a moment that a spaceship travels at the speed of light from now until the year 2214. For us, the people living on the ground, two hundred years will have passed. However, what happens in two centuries for the time on the spaceship is just a moment.

Many hypotheses have been put forward from time dilation.

This is strange, but theoretically true.

However, there is a theory that nothing but light can travel at the speed of light. The fastest man-made object is NASA's Juno probe, which travels at 165,000 miles per hour as it orbits Jupiter.

Surprisingly, Professor Stephen Hawking says Einstein's research on gravity, space and time from 1915 may have found a solution to this problem. There exists a gravitational field that can connect the two sides of the galaxy and act as a shortcut to get from one side to the other and back again while the people around you are still alive.

Einstein showed that it would take an infinite amount of rocket energy to accelerate a spacecraft beyond the speed of light.

Such wormholes have been seriously mentioned as possible in a future civilization.

However, if you could travel from one side of the galaxy to the other in a week or two, you could return through another wormhole and end up in a time before you even set out. You could even travel back in time through a single wormhole if its two ends were moving relative to each other.
