World creator
Prologue
Time travel, often used in sci-fi and fantasy novels and movies. I dare to say, that at some point of our life everyone wished to have a time machine or power to go back in time, and not enter this supposed bet you had with one of your friends. We all make mistakes, sometimes we regret them, sometimes we just get on with our lives.
But is time travel actually possible?
According to Albert Einstein's General relativity theory it is possible… all you need to do is to travel faster than the speed of light, to simplify the matter. Objects in motion experience time differently than the ones observing it.
However, Einstein also proved that the speed of light is impossible for normal objects. E=mc², according to this equation, mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. Because of this equivalence, the energy an object has due to its motion will increase its mass. In other words, the faster an object moves, the heavier it is. If an object tries to travel 300,000 km per second, its mass becomes infinite, and so does the energy required to move it.
Another method would involve some huge mass, such as a star or a black hole. Again Einstein's theory tells that huge mass bends space-time continuum, so we could 'jump' from one place to another in no time at all.
Unfortunately those methods would possibly work for advancing time not reversing it, but if you don't like the world of today, maybe the world of the future will be to your liking?
However what about other universes and dimensions? Open a wormhole and jump into it. According to some, there is an infinite number of universes, with new ones being 'born' every second. Each action you make may be different from the action you make in a different universe, in one you stay up all night playing games and fail exams the next day. In a different one you study and pass. Or even another one where you study so hard that makes you sick and… you still fail the exam because you couldn't attend due to severe sickness. There is an infinite number of possibilities, for each possibility has its own universe.
What if we could travel to different universes? Of course only those where You don't exist, to make our lives easier.
How about we find a universe where humans don't exist at all, a world of our own.
Armed with all human kinds knowledge, both the good and bad ones, lessons from history, and philosophy. Would you try to recreate the same or try to make a new one?
A world where all people are equal?
A world where you are the ruler?
Or a world where you are the only person?
Again the number of possibilities and outcomes are endless and if you made a mistake and didn't get what you wanted, you can always jump to a new universe and start all over again…
How long would it take before you'll get bored?
This is a story about a man who did just that.
