Time Travel

I have always been fascinated with the concept of time travel. Right from the days when i first heard about theory of relativity and time being relative, i have been excited to know more about it.But thought that this is just a fantasy and could not happen in reality. Although initially i could understand a very little about it eventually i could grasp few of the concepts.I came to know that time travel,infact, could be possible. Oh boy was i excited. i was literally jumping around. A book by Stephen Hawking - 'The Brief History Of Time', was one of my favourite reads.
If 100 years ago someone told you that u can fly in air at the speed of sound, and you can talk to anybody in the other part of the world by using a hand held device, you would literally laugh till u suffocate. But what has happened now. We never know what is in store for us.. Every time in the history people have thought that what they have is the limit of exploration, everything there is has been discovered and nothing more could be discovered. But changes, new discoveries, have continued to shock the world. Who knows, in our lives we may see time travel as a technology as common as a telephone is right now.

I found some of the interesting videos about these concepts. So, thought of putting them in my blog.
