A long, long time ago (147 years to be exact) the man who would later be nicknamed "The Father of Science Fiction" was born. It was the 21st September, 1866, when Herbert George Wells came to light. Some of his best works are The Time Machine (1895) and The War of the Worlds (1898). been a staple of science fiction” (CNN, Paul Davies) HG Wells introduced us to the idea that time travel is possible “There are really four dimensions, three of which are space and the fourth is outer space” – The time traveler in an article written on space.com states: "We can travel at different speeds into the future, going to the past and messing with it is more controversial" - Seth Lloyd, professor of quantum engineering. The three dimensions we experience (height , width,. and depth) actively, which means we can navigate them, which obviously excludes the fourth which is untouchable and cannot be seen by the human eye. These four dimensions that were previously stated are three-quarters of space and one-quarter of time, so the question that arises in many people's minds is: why can't we tamper with time? It's not that simple. It has been shown in many popular movies and TV shows not to temper the “space-time continuum”. So basically, the space-time continuum is a line representing the four dimensions. The reason the references are present in pop culture is to show people the consequences of tampering with this line. The good thing about these consequences is that according to one of the best known physicists Stephen Hawking. “From a pure physicist's perspective, traveling into the future is not at all impossible, traveling back in time is a much more difficult proposition.
