As the common tropes of science fiction continue to break out into reality, from humanoid robots to self-driving cars, there\u2019s one concept that has seemingly remained beyond our grasp: time travel.<\/p>\n

But, jumping through time might not be impossible, after all, according to one astrophysicist.<\/p>\n

By the rules of theoretical physics, certain conditions exist that would allow for the construction of elaborate wormholes, which could transport humans back to different eras.<\/p>\n

While scientists have yet to discover the conditions needed to travel back in time, and construction a system large enough for humans certainly wouldn\u2019t be easy, \u2018there\u2019s nothing forbidding it\u2019 in the laws of theoretical physics, explains astrophysicist Ethan Siegel of Lewis & Clark College in the Forbes blog Starts With A Bang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Backward time travel would rely on the elusive counterpart to the known positive energy \/ positive or zero mass particles found all throughout the universe \u2013 the negative mass\/energy particles, which have long been theorized but never yet found.<\/p>\n
