Is the time travel possible? If we want to find an answer to this question, we should firstly understand the nature of time. We all understand that past is different from the future. The future seems to have a wide range of possibilities, while the past is always related to the one thing that already happened. Studying the time revealed two things about it. First, time is often considered as a river that flows forward and slows for no one. We can also formulate this idea as the river of time that
