Time Machine

Very often the idea of time traveling invades my mind and thoughts. At one point of time it became such untenable obsession that even my catnaps were replete with waggish dreams of my space excursion. After reading this book, whose author has long abandoned my memory,’ The time travelers wife’, I was all the more inspired! So to dabble my knowledge over the description of Einstein's paradox I would like to share something with the ones interested.
Before i tell you about it one must know that traveling in a space ship, apart from the adventure quotient, also provides its users with an additional benefit. Well so to say, entering into the scuttle assures that anyone shuttling through space is definitely going to age at a retarded pace in comparison to his earthly sibling!( That’s why time travel) Now before my information and understanding escapes through the smokestack let me type it down.
Einstein’s paradox-
Well Einstein used 2 clocks for his experiment. One got the esteemed opportunity to time travel at about 3*100000000 m/sec i.e. the lightening speed. (Oh! I am so jealous, I can only sit back and dream while the clock even does it!). After many years when the spaceship landed in the earths sacred premises it was discovered that the clock on it had traveled slowly in comparison to its not -so –fortunate counterpart.

Conclusion- Time moves slowly when objects are in motion.

The same was repeated on earthly twins. (Wish I had a twin sister! That would accelerate my chances of being a part of the experiment…boohoo!) At the end of the travel, the interstellar sibling was younger adding to the envy and anxiety of his relative on earth.
The paradox exists because according to the laws of physics the one on earth should have been making the other go green with envy because the earth is also in motion, but as a matter of fact it happened the other way round!!!

Conclusion- I still haven’t traveled through time! I hate Einstein!
