Nationalgeographic.co.id—Time travel and time machines have been the subject of science fiction and films for decades. All the possibilities for time travel have fascinated the human imagination for centuries.
Many people think that time travel is nonsense. On the other hand, some brilliant scientists are doing research on the possibility of this becoming a reality in the future.
Albert Einstein for example, concluding that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. This relates to his famous concept of relativity. That is, time is relative and not absolute as Newton stated.
With the right technology, such as a very fast spaceship, one person can experience several days while another can simultaneously experience only a few hours or minutes. But faith Einstein had very little impact on cosmology or science in general.
Imagine if time travel was real, humans have the ability to change history. Although interesting, but we are unlikely to know the consequences of any changes in other times. Also the effect on the future.
We can also see references to time travel in ancient texts. In mythology Hinduism, there is a story of King Raivata Kakudmi who went on a journey to meet the creator Brahma. Although his journey did not last long, by the time he returned to earth, 108 yugas had passed on earth. Each yuga represents about 4 million years. The explanation Brahma gave to Kakudmi was that time passes differently in different planes of existence.
The story in the Al-Kahf cave also mentions time travel. In 250 AD, a group of Christian youths tried to escape persecution. With God’s guidance, they came to a cave. There God put them to sleep. These youths wake up 309 years later.

In the Buddhist text, the Pali Canon, it is written that in the heavens of the thirty Devas (place of the Gods), time passes at a different pace. One hundred years on earth were counted as one day for the gods.
