Chapter 1: Introduction to Time Travel Concepts

In this discussion, we will explore a practical approach to time travel without delving deeply into the complexities of special relativity or the intricacies of light cones. Instead, let’s focus on a straightforward method that utilizes common technology you likely have available at home.

For those interested, there's also a simpler, voice-activated time travel method that works best with multiple participants. However, for the moment, we will concentrate on the concept of a "portal."

If you dream of being transported through time or space, a surprising way to accomplish this is by using paper. You don't need any specialized paper; in fact, alternatives like clay or calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) could work, but paper is generally more convenient.

While computers can facilitate this process, I find that the most enjoyable time travel experiences come from using a paper-based portal. For the sake of this example, we will stick to paper and set aside other materials for now.

To start, you will need at least one additional tool, which is easily found in most households.

Next, decide on your adventure. If you prefer a specific outcome, you can find inexpensive or even free portals online, but today we will create our own.

So, gather your paper and a writing instrument—using a computer is perfectly acceptable too. The key here is to write.

There are no restrictions on the time or place you can visit. If you embark on a journey, I would love for you to share your portal experiences with me!

Thank you for reading! If you found this intriguing, consider following my work, where I share insights on life from a Mediterranean viewpoint.
