// 2. //// Is there a possibility in the future of time travelling? //

There is much controversy about the possibility of time travel. Einstein has made theories about the warping of space time, and the 4 dimensions, which include time. According to his theories, time travel is possible, but time travel has not been achieved yet. Scientists and others are still researching into the subject of time travel. Scientists have carried out experiments on objects, but so far, no definite answers have been achieved. The possibility of time travel, though not proven, still exists.

// 3. //// What does parallel universes have in relation to time travel? //

Parallel universes do exist, scientists confirm, and they are related to time travel in the way that when someone travelled backwards or forwards in time, they would not interfere with the timeline in their home universe, all rather, they would time travel to a parallel universe. And therefore, this would not createtroublesome paradoxes.

// 4. //// What might happen if time travel existed? //

There are many things that has to be considered when thinking about this question. Firstly, it depends whether you travel forward or backwards in time. If you travel forwards, you would be entering a parallel universe in the future, and you might see things that has not happened yet. This could give you knowledge on what might happen in the future in your home universe, and affect the outcome of the future in your home universe when you get back home. However, f you travel backwards in time, you might be able to change what happens in the future, and your life back in the present time may be affected by the changes.
