Perhaps, but its the only theory/ form of time travel science considers to be possible.

Re: Ponderings for today
Have to wonder if we had an Einstein or Tesla today what they might could accomplish with today's resources and technology.
Time travel might be only as far away as the next genius.

Re: Ponderings for today
Don't know. Big conceptual leaps aren't the same as evolutionary science. It wouldn't surprise me if Einstein was quite average in today's world, or even unsuited to the nitty gritty of modern research.

Re: Ponderings for today
In 1970, Poul Anderson wrote the novel Tau Zero that was about a ship travelling faster and faster going closer and closer to the speed of light with external time proportionally getting slower and slower. Time passed normally within the ship but external time got faster and faster. All based on Einstein's theories and demonstrating different frames of reference as per his theory. One of the classic hard science fiction stories. Well worth a read if you can find a copy.

Re: Ponderings for today
There is one more problem with a space ship going at a significant fraction of the speed of light. Every time it hits an atom there would be a burst of gamma radiation, and striking a pebble the size of a marble would result in a huge explosion.

Re: Ponderings for today
That's why you use warp engines to generate a spacetime bubble and ride in that. And raise shields obviously

Re: Ponderings for today
I've always thought time travel would be a real blast.
