Time and Space Extended Enquiry.
This is a working progress and will continued to be edited over the coming months.
For my Time and Space project, I have decided to do a Slideshow on why time travel and long-distance space travel is impossible as well as discussing the Sci-Fi space shuttles and physics, mainly about what is and is not possible.
Many do believe that in the far future, space shuttles as seen in Star trek and Star Wars will become a day to day sight. Meanwhile, others believe that a matter the advances in technology, it is a scientific and mathematical impossibility.
Another often discussed topic within the scientific community is of course time travel. If time travel becomes a possibility, many lives could be saved and many
mistakes altered. Unfortunately, this would cause what is known as a paradox. For an explanation and example of a paradox, please watch my slideshow. In a summary of my Time and Space project, it is clear that for the foreseeable future no Space or Time expeditions will take place. Thank for reading this information and watching my slideshow.
Greenwich time (GMT) - Why Is It So Important?
Greenwich Meantime links to what is known as a time zone. A time zone is an area on a planet where the time is different to other parts of the world because of the Earth's position to the Sun as well as the 26 degree tilt on the Earth's axis. For example, if I was in Australia during midday, it would be midnight in Britain. The reason Greenwich is famous for time is due to the fact that it has a longitude of 0 degrees 0' 0". These numbers represent your location relative to the North and South Pole. Despite its importance, it is only used all year by Iceland and during Winter in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. However, if as an example, you were flying to Sweden (GMT +1) once you arrived, Tullinge's Airport Arrivals board would say 6:00 (GMT) or 7:00 (GMT +1). This is because Greenwich Meantime is the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which is the source of modern day time keeping. Despite being in a different time zone, many clocks work on this time system and then edited to a different time zone.
