'99.99% light speed': Cosmic strings may unlock the door to time travel

Produced by: Manoj Kumar

Time Travel

Cosmic strings, as predicted by Einstein’s theory, could warp space-time to create loops enabling backward journeys in time.

Cosmic Shortcuts

Prof. J. Richard Gott explains how two cosmic strings moving near light speed might make time travel possible.

Universe Scars

Formed during early cosmic transitions, these high-energy strings may hold the key to the fabric of time.

Danger Strings

A cosmic string slicing past Earth at near light speed could unleash catastrophic destruction.

Light Distortion

By bending space-time, cosmic strings could duplicate images of stars and galaxies through gravitational lensing.

Star Flicker

A sudden brightening of stars might reveal the elusive strings, according to Prof. David Chernoff’s microlensing research.

Ultimate Puzzle

Discovering cosmic strings would revolutionize physics, offering clues to time, gravity, and the Universe itself.

Black Hole Trap

Traveling through a cosmic string loop might send you into a black hole with no return, warns Gott.

Secrets Await

Cosmic strings could explain early Universe anomalies, black hole formation, and the quest for a theory of everything.
