Timelines can be navigated with systems of thought, awareness and cellular memory.
One can travel to another moment in one's life by remembering a certain moment. We all do this every day with our thoughts. But to physically experience the moment in another timeline is a total different idea.
Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects (or in some cases just information) backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine.
Although time travel has been a common plot device in science fiction since the late 19th century, and there are myriad of theories out there about it recorded in every period in every civilisation I will explain a variety of hypotheses here;
Time travel to the past is theoretically allowed using the following methods:
Wormholes and Alcubierre Drive
Wormholes are a hypothetical warped spacetime which are also permitted by the Einstein field equations of general relativity, although it would be impossible to travel through a wormhole unless it were what is known as a traversable wormhole.
Cosmic Strings and Black Holes
Theory says that we cannot detect black holes by light that is emitted or reflected by the matter inside them. However, those objects can be inductively detected from observation of phenomena near them, such as gravitational lensing and stars that appear to be in orbit around space where there is no visible matter.
Traveling faster than the Speed of Light
If one were able to move information or matter from one point to another faster than light, then according to special relativity, there would be some inertial frame of reference in which the signal or object was moving backward in time.
There are many Time Travel novels too, amongst others:
"The Garden of Forking Paths" by Jorge Luis Borges
"Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr
"Einstein's Dreams" by Alan Lightman
You might want to try Burt Goldman's idea. He gave it a fancy name, he calls it:
I have a friend in England who told me he can do exactly what Burt Goldman claims he does. My friend Neil never told anyone or made it public but once he has checked the quantum jumping's website he told me he has been doing this for years.
Basically he can meditate and reach a certain level where he can experience himself in another place. He also believes that there are parallel universes and we can visit those as well, because as he told me we exist in different places at the same time.
As much as I have tried to do this myself, all I could experience was memories of places I have been. Sometimes places I haven't visited during this life time but probably during another life time on this planet. It's more like a journey inside the intricate capacity of long term memory storage and cellular memory for me but it seems that others have another perception.
I personally wouldn't recommend time travel just because when moving your atoms from "here" to "there" you must surrender your cellular memory and forget completely who you are here to appear there. There is no travelling involved but just the fact that you must leave your place and coordinates in a certain place to be somewhere else.
Did you notice that the moment you experience your senses and experience the now you realise where you are standing? By smelling, seeing, touching and tasting exactly at the place you are, you have an identity and can't move to another place without giving up that identity.
The best way to see a Time Machine in action is get a Mac (computer) and an external hard drive. Backing up your Mac on external hard drive with Time Machine allows you to retrieve that deleted file or photo you had last month. Just enter Time Machine and go to that particular moment when you still had that file. It doesn't get more real than that!
