Chapter 3: Ageing through Time

If time travel operates in this manner, it presents a rather challenging approach. The concept is that when you time travel forward, your age is affected in a distinct manner. For instance, if you were to time travel from the year 2027 to 2030, you would age by 3 years. On the other hand, should you travel back to 2020, your age would "reverse" by 7 years, effectively making you younger. This implies that your ability to travel in time is restricted by the total length of your lifespan—both the time you've already lived and the time you are projected to live.

Additionally, this method of time travel also necessitates that you be of a certain age to operate the mechanism that allows you to return to your original timeline. In other words, your age must be sufficient for you to operate the time-travel process in the way you initially used it. This further emphasizes the intricate nature of navigating through time within the framework you've described.
