The concept
of time travel may soon be possible as two different teams of scientists from
the United States and Europe have shown the existence of a fourth spatial
dimension.
It was in
1905 that legendary physicist Albert Einstein first introduced the concept of
the fourth dimension where we can move in time. Since then, the concept has
perplexed scientists and with the discovery of the new fourth spatial
dimension, the big dream of humans to travel through time is showing signals of
materialization.
The recent
quantum experiments conducted by researchers from Switzerland, USA, Germany,
Italy, and Israel revealed that in addition to the conventional three-axis
where an object can move up-down, left-right or forward-backward to an
observer, there is a hidden fourth dimension where the objects can move in new
directions of motion.
Can 4D make
time travel possible?
Oded
Zilberberg, the lead author of the study says that the theoretical concept of
this experiment indicates that the existence of the fourth dimension where
objects move in new directions will help us to move forward and backward in
time.
Penn
University's Mikael Rechtsman, a researcher at the US-based team, reveals that
the research team managed to get a glimpse of the 4D spatial system even though
it cannot be felt physically.
Both the
teams in the United States and Europe conducted quantum hall experiments to
discover the fourth dimension. As per experts, if the quantum Hall effect can
be generated, it is a solid indication of the presence of the fourth dimension.
After
cooling down the atoms to absolute zero, the researchers placed it in a 2D
lattice with the help of lasers. Using more lasers, the researchers trapped the
atoms and made them move.
The
movements of the atoms matched the Quantum Hall effect, which signaled that the
fourth spatial dimension is a reality.
Researchers
claim that these new experiments cannot be used in real life as of now, but the
new finding will lead to significant progress in the world of physics.
As the
experiments are now in their nascent stages, more research will shed light on
the way in which the fourth dimension works, which will finally result in the
materialization of 'time travel', the biggest dream of humankind.
