THE PHENOMENON OF TIME TRAVEL AND SCIENCE FICTION.

Is it possible for today's man to return to the historical past several centuries or millennia and find himself among his ancestors as shown in various science fiction films such as the cult British series "Outlander" when the main heroine enters the hollow of the tree and returns in the middle ages. Is it possible to travel into the future several centuries or millennia into the future as shown by Herbert George Wells in the science fiction novel Time machine or the French film "Les Visiteurs" when the heroes of the Middle Ages travel to the future. Are there parallel worlds or multiverses in which one day future generations will travel only with advanced technologies at the speed of light like in the cult TV series Wars or Dr.No? For now, these impossible feats are possible only on movies, but scientists like Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and especially Everett Hughes, Stephen Hawking, theoretically explained the probability of such hypotheses. The concepts of time travel and parallel worlds are phenomena that are mutually related and interdependent both in literature and cinema, and in other scientific cultural-artistic or entertainment works. They complement and enhance each other because the phenomenon of time travel cannot be effected if there is no other world, even assuming that it is simply a return to the past or travel to the future. In this review, we will only focus on the phenomenon of time travel. This paper is part of the research dedicated to the project Time Travel and Parallel Worlds in Cinema integrated in my doctoral thesis with the same title. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
