I am writing this post at the last hour of the contest. I saw some extensive entries so I know I haven't got a chance to win anyways because I can't probably challenge them with few minutes left. lol. You must be wondering, why am I here then?
Firstly, the topic is interesting and secondly, the contest is organized by the members so as a member myself I should participate to support and encourage them to organize more contests in future.

(The time has extended so I should cut the first paragraph. Lol)

So Time Travel...

If you know about time travel, you must know the meaning of my username. Back when I created this account, I was truly obsessed with Space Science after watching the movies like Interstellar and Martians. I used to search a lot on concepts like General Relativity and Blackholes.

General Relativity is a concept explaining that time and space are inter linked and nothing can move faster than the speed of light in this universe.

Blackholes are a region in space where nothing can escape not even light. Time slows down near the black hole and freezes inside.

Now comes the Event Horizon - The boundary of a black hole where nothing can escape it nor cross it, not even light, that region is called the event horizon.

I was truly fascinated with event horizon. How it would feel to be there. Where the time stills.

Time travel is a real thing but not how it is explained in books or movies.

When we look at the distant stars or galaxies through powerful telescopes, we are not seeing their present condition. We get to see what they looked liked years ago.

I will explain how and why?

How we see things? When sunlight hits the object, the light reflects back to our eyes and then we see the object.

Similarly, it takes thousands of years to the sunlight to reach distant stars and then another thousand years to reflect back and reach our eyes. So till the time light reaches our eyes with the image of stars, they are already thousand of years old. So this way, we are seeing into the past technically.

But time travel in books and movies is a different concept which is something like being able to move yourself into a point in future or into the past.

It's not possible because it disobeys all the universal laws but as we are talking about a hypothetical situation so let's go with the flow then...

What if You Got A Chance to Time Travel?

It is highly unlikely, but if it ever gets possible to time travel, I would like to travel in the past.

I am a person who tries her best to live in the present because I don't believe in obsessing over the future or dwelling in the past. Not that I don't think about it, only I try to focus on the present. I try to live in the moment because you don't know what life will be like the next moment. Secondly, I wouldn't want to observe the future because I don't want to experience my life without my loved ones because there's a possibility that some close one is no more alive. I certainly don't want to see that before time.

Now why I want to visit the past? I don't want to amend things in my past or I miss something. Yes, it would be great if I relive my childhood once more.

But the main reason to visit the past is I want to see with my own eyes some different historic eras of the past.

I want to see our Prophet's times. How he (S.A.W) struggled for Islam and lived his life. What kind of life the pious sahabah lived. What difficulties they faced in order to spread Islam.

How Hazrat Musa (A. S) used to talk to Allah at koh-e-toor. How he survived the evil pharoah and crossed river Nile.

I want to witness the night when our prophet traveled to the skies on Buraq with the lightening speed or maybe more than that. That was a real life time travel incident.

I want to see the revelations of Allah on prophet Muhammad (S. A. W).

I think we are going far from religion so maybe if we were able to visit those times, then maybe we realize the importance of religion and our purpose in this material world.

Fast forward to 1900s....

I want to see the Quaid struggling for Pakistan.

When I see people hating Pakistan, talk about settling abroad, talk about there are no rules and cleanliness in Pakistan and on the other hand are the main cause of polluting roads, disobeying rules, and act like a good citizen abroad. I want those hypocrites to time travel with me to the past to see how our elders fought for this land.

When I watched the Pakistani drama "Daastan", it literally gave me goosebumps. It was the first show that made me cry, when I saw what our elders suffered from just to get a free homeland. Sometimes, when I myself lose hope in Pakistan, I just want to travel in the past to live those moments and to get good motivation to strive for the betterment of Pakistan.
