A form of time travel into the future is hypothetically possible - if a person were to travel around the Earth at very close to the speed of light for a year, that person would not have aged as much as a person on Earth due to [[Time dilation]]. A space ship traveling at ~99.5% the speed of light would experience only 1 year for every ten years of time experienced on Earth. However, no human being could survive moving at such speeds.

Time travel is the concept of traveling through time (either to the past or future). It exists mainly in fiction, and most believe time travel is not possible in the real world, although this has not been conclusively proven. There is a scientist named Ronald Mallett who is trying to develop a real time machine. A form of time travel into the future it possible - if one were to travel close to the speed of light, one would age much slower than anything stationary, so it would seems as if one had time traveled to the future. Time travel has captured the imagination of many authors and filmmakers, particularly in the 20th century.
