Would you like to travel through time like the Doctor from Doctor Who? Well, according to scientists from the University of British Columbia in Canada and the University of Maryland in the US, it is a mathematical possibility. In a report titled Tardis — a nod to Doctor Who’s police box spacecraft, they describe a way 1 time travel could happen using a machine made of extraordinary materials. To understand 2 these scientists have proposed, we first need to go back more than 100 years. Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity was published in 1915 and explains how the path of light 3 (affect) by massive objects, such as planets and stars, that have a huge amount of gravity. Einstein believed that these huge objects bend space and time, allowing light to curve around them. Think of it like this: imagine you’re standing in the middle of a trampoline (蹦床) — it will dip downwards. If you put a tennis ball near the edge, it would roll towards you 4 it gets to your feet. You are 5 a planet: the dip in the trampoline is like the curve in space-time; and the tennis ball is light travelling around the planet. One of the most interesting parts of Einstein’s theory was the idea that time 6 change, depending on how fast a person is travelling. He believed that if someone were travelling at the speed of light in space then time would pass 7 (slowly) for them, compared with someone standing still on Earth. Although this sounds impossible, scientists 8 (experiment) with accurate clocks and found that it is true. The scientists based their report
