Time travel has long been a captivating concept that has intrigued the human imagination. The idea of traversing through time, visiting the past or future, and altering events is a topic that has been widely explored in various forms of fiction and scientific speculation. This document aims to delve into the intricacies of time travel and its implications on the creation of alternate timelines. Through an in-depth analysis, we will explore the theories, controversies, and possibilities associated with this fascinating concept.

The Concept of Time

To understand time travel, it is crucial to comprehend the nature of time itself. Time is commonly perceived as a linear progression of events, moving from the past to the present and into the future. However, different theories propose alternative perspectives on time, such as the block universe theory, which suggests that time is a fixed four-dimensional block where past, present, and future coexist.

Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered an ancient tomb that belonged to King Thutmose II. It marks the first discovery of a pharaoh’s tomb in over a century after Tutankhamen was found in 1922. Professor Nozomu Kawai from Kanazawa University in Japan tells The World it’s \.

1,337 seconds: that was how long WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache site in southern France and one of the EUROfusion consortium medium size Tokamak facilities, was able to maintain a plasma for on 12 February. This was a 25% improvement on the previous record time achieved with EAST, in China, a few weeks previously.

Reaching durations such as these is a crucial milestone for machines like ITER, which will need to maintain fusion plasmas for several minutes. The end goal is to control the plasma, which is naturally unstable, while ensuring that all plasma-facing components are able to withstand its radiation without malfunctioning or polluting it.

This is what CEA researchers intend to achieve and what explains the current record. Over the coming months, the WEST team will double down on its efforts to achieve very long plasma durations—up to several hours combined—but also to heat the plasma to even higher temperatures with a view to approaching the conditions expected in fusion plasmas.
