    Time travel has long been a complicated topic regarding its existence and its effect upon humanity. Time travel is viewed as “a discrepancy between time and time,” where one can move forward or backward in the time continuum without the time traveler’s body experiencing the same duration.

    Time travel has long been a fascination of the science fiction genre, with many of the great stories concerning time travel being centred around the philosophical issues of the paradoxes seemingly caused by just the possibility of time travel, namely that of bootstrap and grandfather paradoxes. A question that is often bandied about is whether or not time travel is possible, now unless those questioning are physicists attempting to warp space-time back upon its self-using long equations and ‘Tardis

    Time travel! The words entered Doctor Melilot’s head, turning around like the wheels on a racing car. For the first time ever, he was about to embark on a journey back in time; well, seventy-five years, six days and eight hours to be precise. And what would he find on the other side of the Chalk Gate? Would the air taste different perhaps; clearer and crisper? Or would he smell cordite and burning flesh? Would bullets whistle past his ears? Would he need to duck for cover? After all, he was travelling
