Will time travel and teleportation be possible in future?
studies about these concepts are still on going. Colin Stuart, author of The Big Questions in Science, estimates humans will be able to jump ahead to see our future by 2100 – 85 years away.
‘Time travel to the future has already been achieved, but only in tiny amounts,’ he said.
‘The record is 0.02 seconds set by cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev. While that doesn't sound too impressive, it does show that time travel to the future is possible and that the amount of time travel couldn't be far greater.
‘If you travelled through space on a big loop at 10 per cent the speed of light for what seemed to you like six months, approximately six months and one day would have passed on Earth.
‘You'd have time travelled a day into the future. Travel at the same speed for 10 years and you'll time travel nearly three weeks into the future.
‘I would say we are looking at 2100 as a very optimistic timescale for travelling weeks into the future.’ The good thing about teleportation is that there is no fundamental law telling us that it cannot be done and with technical advances I would estimate teleportation that we see in the films will be with us by 2080.’
