the philosopy of time travel

in my acclimation to my new surroundings, I have noticed that time functions in a very specific way here. and naturally, thinking of time and travel led me to devote some serious thought to the concept of time travel. most depictions of time travel involve some catalyst taking place that enables a vessel to transverse a portal and travel through time. even roberta sparrow can tell you that. but my realization was that the necessary energy required for a feat like traveling years or even days into the past or future cannot be produced by any elemental source and so the concept of a flux capacitor is a dead end. the only available alternative in the inherent life energy inside a living person. and again, the necessary energy required for a monumental feat like traveling years ahead in time would be so great as to drain the entirety of bio-electrical stores within a person and kill them. so the only available means for non-lethal time travel is to reduce the alloted distance through which the time travel would take place, down to mere minutes. also, several philosophical mindsets can be arranged that effectively allow a person to travel through time. if we make the assumption that all time is relative, then the world of time begins to open for any traveler.
- if you think of today as existing in the past, you have effectively traveled back in time
- cross any time zone barrier and you have traveled forward or backward in time from your relative position
- any travel that effectively covers distance also covers time. Space and time are related

awareness in an individual is what leads to conscious thought. if a person is unaware of time passing, then they cannot be said to be conscious of that time passing and for that person, time is effectively standing still. sleep is another example of this phenomenon. in essence, the concept of skipping over periods of time or returning to past moments is impossible. however, alterations to an individual's relationship with the relativity of time can be achieved. these alterations can produce the effect of time travel, and these effects, along with belief, allow a person to travel through time. I only know one way to travel into the past: recollection of memory. and I only know one way to travel into the future: one minute at a time.
