According to “Could time travel really take place?” (Coughlan, 2015), University of Birmingham is studying the feasibility of time travel, and will have to tackle some classic arguments against time travel like grandfather paradox—the paradox that it is impossible for someone could go back in time and then kill their grandparents who are their ancestors since they would have been never born. However, Dr. Wilson, specialist in the philosophy of physics, says that “examining time travel is a way of addressing questions about fundamental physics. It means thinking about time not as a way of measuring the passing of hours and days, but as a dimension more like space.”
In the aspect of science, as the grandfather paradox is, if we were able to travel back in time, all things would seem contrast and impossible. Nevertheless, the theory about parallel dimensions may be possible for time travelling since the consequence of changes in the past or the future will happen in other dimensions. To put it another way, only the parallel world in another dimension will be affected. Yet, there is no proof for this theory, just as the possible idea of some scientists to explain that paradox. Besides, one interesting question about the feasibility of time travelling is that if this is available, why can’t we see or meet ourselves coming from the future world?
In the view of spending time in one’s life, everybody has equal time (24 hours) in a day but spend it differently. Some can do and achieve many things in one day without any procrastination, whilst others cannot and spend their time in a useless manner regardless of the values of time. Thus, the latter seems to have a less tendency to be successful in their life. What is the difference? The answer is how well they manage limited time. This is of great importance to consider because we all would have to do anything so much that we cannot complete all of them in our lives.
One of the effective ways to manage time is a techniques of Dwight D. Eisenhower—the former U.S. president. It is called Eisenhower method. This is to think about the priorities of any tasks or works which people need to do. Two significant criteria which should be always considered are importance (good outcome leading to succeed in your goals) and urgency (having specific due date and requiring immediate attention); therefore, there are four different groups to list one’s activities based on such criteria in the order of prioritization: 1.Important and urgent things 2. Urgent but not important things 3. Important but not urgent things and 4. Not important and not urgent things.
If applying this technique, we will know what we should do and complete first and what the next is so as to spend and manage our valuable time in most appropriate manner and avoid unnecessary activities. Don’t forget that we don’t have much time to do every activity and aim in our life, and we cannot buy for more time or go back in time to redo something to change the past action or situation.
Yet, if you were able to go back in time just only once, which the past period of your life would you like to go and why?—Perhaps, you may need to either go back to change something again or enjoy your past happiest life.
