🌌 Are We All Time Travelers?

Mustak Aalam July 15, 2025

Introduction

(A perspective that explores Present, Future, and Past in a new light) 🕒 Present Travel – How Can We Witness Two Places at the Same Time? In today’s world, live video calling has become common. Imagine you're sitting in India and your friend is in England. You’re both on a live video call. What does this mean? You are present in India, but at the same time, you're also virtually present in England — seeing what’s happening there in real time. Now suppose, unfortunately, two accidents happen — one in India and one in England — at the same moment. You become an eyewitness to both events. You could tell the English authorities, “Yes, I was on a live call with my friend; I saw everything happening there.” And also tell the Indian authorities, “Yes, I saw everything here with my own eyes.” So, you are witnessing the present moment of two locations simultaneously, but here’s the catch: You can only see it — you can’t touch or change it. This is a kind of present-time travel — where technology lets you observe multiple presents without physically being there.

Key Points

🚀 Future Travel – Is Beating Time Already Possible? Now imagine you've decided to travel to America. With today’s technology, you hop on a plane and reach in a day. But let’s go back in time — to a period when no technology or transport systems existed. How would you go to America? Let’s say your friend somehow traveled to America (perhaps walking or by ship), and it took him a whole year to reach there. He makes a friend in the U.S., works in a company with him, and then returns to India — which again takes another year. Now, you want to go to America and meet that same person your friend worked with. But you’re going two years later. Can you expect to find the same place, the same person, the same situation? Of course not. In two years, everything changes — people move, places evolve, life transforms. But today, you board a flight and reach the U.S. in one day. That means you have covered what used to take one year in just a day. You’ve literally jumped ahead in time, experiencing the future of that location based on your friend’s past description. In this way, every time we use advanced transportation, we’re doing a form of future time travel — compressing time and reaching destinations faster than before.

Example

📼 Past Travel – Can We Watch But Not Change It? Let’s talk about the past now. We can’t go there physically, but we can watch recordings — videos, photos, documents, memories. These are all forms of viewing the past. Now imagine — one day there’s a technology that lets you connect a live video call to a moment in the past. And even crazier — what if you could be on that call with your past self? Right now, this isn’t possible. But the thought is fascinating. Just like live video calls with present locations became real, who knows — maybe in the future, we’ll have live calls to the past or even the future.

Conclusion

✨ Conclusion – Is This a New Kind of Time Travel? I’m not saying we’re riding time machines, but in many ways, we are time travelers: Present: via live video calls Future: via high-speed transport, accelerated access Past: via memories, recordings, and data The only thing left is: ✔️ A way to interact with the past or future in real time. I don’t know whether this will become a reality. But the way we’ve turned once-impossible ideas (like planes, internet, AI) into reality — it’s proof enough that nothing is truly impossible.
