How to effortlessly time travel and why it works

Time always seems to fly, when there’s lots of fun happening. Then it slows to a crawl when a much anticipated event on the calendar, gets close. Or maybe it’s a looming deadline. A not so anticipated event. However, it arrives twice as fast as it should. It’s almost like time has a sense of humor.

This was a discussion a while back. How time changes. And how time changes things. Then one day, in the blink of an eye, it’s twenty years further down the road. One day things change from, “I’ve never seen such a thing” to “I remember when”. Everything changes. Everything except the one who goes through time travel. That’s why a joke is funny to them but no one else understands it. No one except other time travelers.

With this in mind, it is rare to see a lot of time travelers in one place. They are often spread out with future time travelers. Of course all of this is about growing. Growing up, growing old, and hopefully growing wise. This was the discussion a while back. It was a thought on, modern day, time travelers.

How to Effortlessly Time Travel

The idea was a cool one. The act of remembering back in time, is the equivalent of time travel to the past. The rules were simple. Be old.

Of course old is relevant. A kid may think their parents are old. However, the parents know it’s actually the grandparents that are old. Or, older, respectively. Therefore, when the grandparents begin to reminisce, an actual time traveling event is taking place. The fascinating thing is, it’s true.

Furthermore, there are experiences that happen only once in a generation. Without the power of time travel by the older generation we wouldn’t know about walking to school in the snow. Uphill. While delivering the morning paper route. Times were a lot harder in the past. Especially during the dinosaur era. However, that kind of time travel requires an actual time machine.

Effortless and Why It Works

There was a discussion a while back. The conversation was on time travel and how the older folks do a lot of it. Furthermore it was postulated that it was an earned thing. For example, having survived it, having made it through all that time, was a qualifying mark of experience. The value of which shouldn’t be overlooked.

That point, in and of itself, resonated with reason. It was such a simple truth it caused a long pause. You know it’s good, when there’s a long pause, and nobody speaks. Looking back on it now makes it seem even more profound. Because as I travel back and forth between now and then, I am moving between two different realities.

There is the life that was, and now there is the life that is. Two different times. Likewise a different reality attached to each. The problem with this time experiment, was and still is, the paradox. Funny how the paradox is always either then, or now. However, a paradox has rules and one of these is the inability to remain in the past. More in the next article, after The Pawn Ticket – part (3). Thanks for reading.
