Unlocking Einstein's Legacy: The Real Possibility of Time Travel and Wormholes
Einstein's Theories and the Possibility of Time Travel
Albert Einstein's incredible legacy, which includes over 300 scientific papers, continues to influence the world more than a half century since his death. And while Einstein transformed our perception of the cosmos, perhaps his greatest gift to humanity is still to come: time travel.

Theoretical Foundations: Special and General Relativity
Ronald L. Mallet: It's Einstein's special theory of relativity, speed of light, and the general theory of relativity, which allows for the real possibility of time travel.
Wormholes: The Einstein-Rosen Bridge
Some scientists today believe that Einstein's theory of relativity creates the possibility to travel through a portal, or wormhole, called an Einstein-Rosen bridge, a space anomaly that may actually be a gateway to parallel universes.

Michael Dennim: In the theory of general relativity, space actually acts like something that you can bend and warp and make holes in. So an Einstein-Rosen bridge is a particular example of a wormhole. And a wormhole is a formation in the fabric of space and time that involves creating a passage in space, extending the material, if you think of space as a substance, and linking it somewhere else.
Dan Hooper: An Einstein-Rosen bridge takes two points in space and connects them so that if you travel in one end, you come out the other, even though those two points appear in different universes. It's essentially a teleporter, something that allows you to move between two far-off locations instantly.
Extraterrestrial Connections and Genius
Could Einstein's theoretical wormhole actually serve as a portal to another universe? Perhaps opening a portal that will one day establish communication between humans and extraterrestrials?
Doc Barham: When we consider the notion that there are wormholes and that these are actually widely accepted by some of the most intelligent minds on the globe, what you begin to see is that all of these pieces are in place to suggest that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and that there is also the likelihood or possibility that we have had contact in the past, or have ongoing contact now, or may have contact in the future as well.
Was Albert Einstein's monumental work actually a lifelong quest to establish contact with extraterrestrials? Did alien beings provide him with knowledge about how to surpass both space and time? If so, why?

Philip Coppens: We find that the greatest discoveries across time and space don't come through hard work or intensive labor, but that really the genius somehow is able to access a realm, and that that realm is able to pretty much download that information to them and makes them remember forever onwards as geniuses.
David Childress: In history you have certain people whose genius is just so incredible, it's like they're able to see the future, and they're not going to just influence the world then and in the future, but what they're going to do is going to dramatically change the world forever.
Philip Coppens: We tend to think of civilization as this slow ebb of information that somehow across the flow of time we have progressed, but really this is not the case. We have made giant strides forwards because at pockets in time there were certain geniuses living.
Extraterrestrial Influence on Human Genius
Are extraterrestrials boosting the mental capacities of a chosen few to aid the advancement of human civilization as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest? Could this explain Albert Einstein's extraordinary neural anatomy?
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos: Is it only a coincidence that arguably the greatest mind in the history of the world had a higher concentration of glial cells and a wider parietal lobe than the average human brain and was as healthy as the brain of a young man when he died? That is extraordinary evidence.
David Childress: If we were able to study the brains of some of these other geniuses, Isaac Newton of Nikola Tesla, and perhaps now someone like Stephen Hawking, I think we would find that their brains too are significantly different than a normal human's.
Philip Coppens: There seems to be something within our DNA whereby we go in one direction and we seem to have a normal human being, but also certain things within our DNA are able to make us a genius, and definitely Einstein was one of them, but what makes this switch work is something which we have been completely incapable of answering.
Ancient Accounts of Time Travel
The Mahabharata, In this sacred Indian text written in the 8th century BC, King Revata is described as traveling to the heavens to meet with the creator god Brahma, only to return to earth hundreds of years in the future. Some scholars believe this Hindu story may be one of the oldest accounts of successful time travel in ancient history.
David Childress: There's a story of a king called Ravayata, and he is taken into space to see the gods, and when he returns to the earth, he finds that many ages have gone by, and it's been hundreds of years, and this is the kind of thing that would happen to space travelers and in time travel as well. You think you're gone for only a few days, but when you return to Earth, you discover that you've been gone for centuries.
Like the legend of Chaco Canyon, similar stories of time travel can be found throughout the ancient world. In Japan, the legend of Urashima Taro details a fisherman's visit to the protector god of the sea, Ryujin, in an underwater palace for what seemed like only three days.
David Childress: When he returns to his fishing village, he finds that it's been 300 years that he's been gone, and his house is in ruins. Everybody he knows is long dead. No one remembers him or his family. And in the Hebrew Bible, descriptions of the prophet Jeremiah in Jerusalem are eerily similar to both of these narratives of time travel.
Erich Von Daniken: Even in the Bible, the prophet Jeremiah was sitting together with a few of his companions, and there was a young boy, his name was Abimelech. And Jeremiah said to Abimelech, go out of Jerusalem, there is a hill, and collect some figs for us. The boy went out and collected the fresh figs. All of a sudden, Abimelech hears some noise and wind in the air, and he becomes unconscious. He had a blackout. After some time, he wakes up again, and he saw it was nearly evening. So he runs back to the community, and the city was full of unfamiliar soldiers. And he said, what's going on here? Where is Jeremiah and all the others? And an elderly man said, that was 62 years ago. It's a time travel account written in the Bible.
Mythical and Religious Connections to Extraterrestrial Influence
Southern Egypt, Agilkia Island. Here, just six miles upstream from Aswan, in the Nile River Valley, lies the Temple of Isis. Built in the 4th century BC, the temple was a center of worship for the Egyptian goddess of fertility and nature until the 6th century AD.
Philip Coppens: Isis became the most significant deity which ancient Egypt ever had. She was married to her brother, Osiris. And together, they really became the popular husband and wife to which everybody wants to be like. She is seen as a symbol of life, whereas Osiris is seen as the deity who rules over the dead. And so whether you are alive or whether you're dead, you can always identify with Isis and Osiris.
According to ancient Egyptian religious belief, the goddess Isis was known as the Divine Mother and believed to be the soul of the brightest star in the sky, Sirius.
Mike Bara: To the ancient Egyptians, Osiris was Orion. That constellation actually was a literal living embodiment of the great god Osiris. Sirius was the representation of his wife, sister, and consort, Isis. Together, those two essentially ruled the skies and the life of the Egyptian people themselves.
David Childress: Many ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Chinese, the Greeks, the Japanese, all had beliefs and legends that our gods who created us have come from Sirius. And this star, extremely important star to almost all ancient cultures.
William Henry: This knowledge originally emerged in ancient Egypt and Africa with the Dogon tribe, who taught that beings of light came from Sirius and created humankind.
Philip Coppens: It is clear that so many cultures possessed information about Sirius and they single out Sirius apart from everything else. And it's got nothing to do with its brightness. It has to do with the fact that somehow Sirius is accountable for sending us messengers who educate us.
Modern Technological Advances: Iron Beam and Tesla
The Singapore Airshow, February 2014. An Israeli defense company known as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems discloses details of a laser defense mechanism capable of striking missiles from the sky with a burst of energy. The futuristic military hardware is called Iron Beam.
Nick Redfern: The concept of Iron Beam is that it's essentially a high-energy laser that is designed to rapidly heat up the target that it's aimed at. We're talking about aircraft, drones, missiles. Anything that could launch an assault on a city could be literally destroyed in the sky by Iron Beam. It sounds very much like Tesla's death ray.
David Childress: This is exactly the kind of technology that Tesla was talking about in the 1920s and 30s of using these beam weapons to shoot down missiles and projectiles.
David Wilcock: The War Department sided with Einstein and Oppenheimer's atomic bomb, not with Tesla. But now what we're observing is that Israel is developing this Iron Beam technology because they realized that nuclear weapons were far too destructive. Is it possible that Tesla invented a time-viewing or time-travel device and that he became aware of these innovations?
Tesla was once quoted as saying, The present is theirs, but the future for which I have really worked is mine. Did Tesla, in fact, see into the future? Might Iron Beam be proof that plans for the death ray not only existed, but also may have even been confiscated and carried out by the United States government? There are those who believe that Nikola Tesla was not only in contact with extraterrestrials, but was sent here to Earth by them to fulfill a mission and usher in a new age for mankind.
Marc Seifer: One of the big questions is, who is Tesla? Is he, in a sense, an avatar, an enlightened being that arrives on Earth to assist humans? No one really knows exactly what's going on, but I think all great artists, and Tesla saw himself as an artist, feel that they're instruments of a higher purpose, and Tesla certainly felt that he was working along those lines.
Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok: There is an agenda for humanity. There is a plan, and in every generation, whatever power it is that's behind the plan sends to Earth certain specific souls who are, by birth, more inclined and able to be receptors to the higher knowledge.
Modern Time Travel Research
In a lab at the University of Connecticut, theoretical physicist Ronald Mallet demonstrates his large-scale model of a time machine Using a device called a ring laser that produces a circulating beam of light, the professor hopes to prove that the twisting light actually bends space, forming a loop in time.
Ronald L. Mallett: Now what's happening here is that these lasers, even though you can't see it, they're actually creating a circulating pattern of light, and that circulating pattern of light is actually twisting the empty space in here. The twisting of space will ultimately lead to a twisting of time.
Potential for Time Travel
In Einstein's theory, the two are connected, and that twisting of time will be where time travel is occurring, because if you think of time as being a straight line, then if we twist space, then what will happen eventually is that the space will twist time into a loop. So a breakthrough in my work was to use light to manipulate time, and that should allow for the possibility of going back in time using light.
Although this is only a prototype, Mallet believes he may be able to create a working time machine in as little as 10 years. He believes the energy of the light beams will produce a gravitational field strong enough to drag a spinning neutron through time.
Ronald L. Mallet: Let's say I'll call the spin-up a one, and I'll call spin-down a zero. So imagine I send a stream of neutrons with spin-up, spin-up, spin-down, spin-up. What do you call that? That's binary code. So by using the spin of neutrons, I could send a binary code, which could be translated into a message.
But could this technology eventually be able to send larger entities through time, like a person or a spacecraft?
William Henry: Einstein's theory of relativity allowed for something called the Einstein-Rosen Bridge, which is what we today refer to as a wormhole. It opened up the potential that we can travel from point A on Earth to point B elsewhere in the universe as if there were nothing in between.
Ancient Knowledge and Modern Science
If the possibility exists to travel instantly from one end of the universe to another through wormholes, might there be evidence that such technology was utilized in the ancient past?
Philip Coppens: The ancient Egyptians knew about stargate and wormhole travel. The evidence that I discovered is at the Temple of Hathor at Dendera. When you enter into this temple, you look up on the ceiling, which is called the astronomical ceiling, and you see the gods as ascended light beings traveling on their ships of eternity. And it suggests to me that the ancients didn't use the term wormhole for these time-travel portals, but were clearly talking about the same thing.
