Most would say the very idea of time-travel is preposterous.
Others would disagree.
Personally, I’m open to just about anything. Granted, I
write about time-travel so no surprise there. However, I fully recognize that
technology is moving forward at breakneck speed. I can
assure you that I was unable to hop on the internet in eighth grade. Nor was I
able to text my mom to say that I was at a friend’s house. Nope, I was
too busy playing ‘Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?’ on my DOS computer. That big, clunky box that cost my parents (bless them) a whopping $2000.
That was only twenty years ago, folks. Pretty darn
amazing how far we’ve come since then, eh? So if technology is advancing so quickly what's to say
time-travel doesn’t become possible in the future? Hey, Einstein believed it’d
be possible! And just look how far we’ve come since the beginning of the
twentieth century…
“According to Kurzweil's The Law of Accelerating Return, since the beginning of evolution,
more complex life forms have been evolving exponentially faster, with shorter
and shorter intervals between the emergence of radically new life forms, such
as human beings, who have the capacity to engineer (intentionally to design
with efficiency) a new trait which replaces relatively blind evolutionary
mechanisms of selection for efficiency."
