Abstract: During our research on the theories of time travel we discovered several possible means of traveling through time. These means were most notably by phenomena known as wormholes, rotating cylinders and cosmic strings. We also learned about why it is that time travels in one direction and h...

Stephen W. Hawking Stephen W. Hawking has a mind set that is beyond today's general way thinking.
