      I don’t think it is , but there is some crazy maths and physics saying it just might be. There are some awesome books too! Einstein’s equation, E = m c ^2, says we can travel in time. Einstein worked really hard to link space and time. We measure time in seconds, and we usually think the number of seconds are moving forward. We think time travel could happen near black holes. We need special black holes with a singularity- a central point, where space and time stop existing. The physics inside a black hole gets really crazy, and that’s where we think there could be time travel, because there the speed of time can change.
