All are based on science fiction

The Time Ships

All basically based on following two concept

1. Time travel
Time control
Time warp
Travel to future and past
2. Speed faster than light
Inter universe travel
travel long distance in a fraction of seconds

The big and most interesting question are

1. Is it possible to travel through time?
2. Is it possible to achieve speed faster than light ?
3. Is it possible to travel millions of light year away
in this real world ?

Your answers are

1. These are not possible.

2. These are possible only in fictions, movies, novels etc.

3. It is impossible to achieve speed faster than light.

4. It is impossible to travel millions of light year away.

The one answer is, no, it is impossible . . . . . .

But according to new theory of general relativity

1. Time travel
a. time travel
b. past and future travel

2. Speed faster than light

a. inter universe travel
b. Travel long distances in a fraction of seconds

These all above are possible

Wormhole
( Einstein-Rosen Bridge )

Hypothetical topological feature of space time

Shortcut through the space time or journey across the universe
Compact region of space time whose boundary is topological trivial
but whose interior is not simpaly connected

Basic concepts
Time travel
Exotic matter
Dark matter
Black holes and white holes
Dark energy
Transversibility

Application of wormholes
1. Faster than light travel

2. Inter-universe travel
3. Time travel

Faster than light travel

The impossibility of faster-than-light relative speed only applies
locally.

Wormholes allow superluminal travel by ensuring that the speed of

light is not exceeded locally at any time.
While traveling through a wormhole, subluminal speeds are used.
If two points are connected by a wormhole, the time taken to
traverse it would be less than the time it would take a light beam to
make the journey if it took a path through the space outside the
wormhole.

Inter-universe travel
A particle returning from the future does not return to its universe
of origination but to a parallel universe.
This suggests that a wormhole time machine with an exceedingly
short time jump is a theoretical bridge between contemporaneous
parallel universes

Time travel
This would be accomplished by accelerating one end of the
wormhole to a high velocity relative to the other, and then sometime
later bringing it back
Relativistic time dilation would result in the accelerated wormhole
mouth aging less than the stationary one as seen by an external
observer.
Time connects differently through the wormhole than outside it, so
that synchronized clocks at each mouth will remain synchronized to
someone traveling through the wormhole itself, no matter how the
mouths move around.
Anything which entered the accelerated wormhole mouth would
exit the stationary one at a point in time prior to its entry.

History of discovery of wormhole

The first type of wormhole solution discovered was the
Schwarzschild wormhole which would be present in the
Schwarzschild metric describing an eternal black hole, but it was
found that this type of wormhole would collapse too quickly for
anything to cross from one end to the other.
The American theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler coined
the term wormhole in 1957.
In 1921, the German mathematician Hermann Weyl already had
proposed the wormhole theory, in connection with mass analysis of
electromagnetic field energy.

In 1935, The EinsteinRosen bridge was discovered by Albert

Einstein and his colleague Nathan Rosen.
In 1962 John A. Wheeler and Robert W. Fuller published a paper
showing that this type of wormhole is unstable if it connects two
parts of the same universe,.
The possibility of traversable wormholes in general relativity was
first demonstrated by Kip Thorne and his graduate student Mike
Morris in a 1988 paper.
Later, other types of traversable wormholes were discovered as
allowable solutions to the equations of general relativity, including a
variety analyzed in a 1989 paper by Matt Visser, in which a path
through the wormhole can be made where the traversing path does
not pass through a region of exotic matter.

Types of wormhole
Schwarzschild wormholes
Lorentzian wormhole

Schwarzschild wormholes
An artist's impression of a wormhole from an observer's
perspective, crossing the event horizon of a Schwarzschild wormhole
which bridges two different universes.
The observer originates from the right, and another universe
becomes visible in the center of the wormholes shadow once the
horizon is crossed, the observer seeing light that has fallen into the
black hole interior region from the other universe.
however, this other universe is unreachable in the case of a
Schwarzschild wormhole, as the bridge always collapses before the
observer has time to cross it, and everything that has fallen through
the event horizon of either universe is inevitably crushed in the
singularity.

Lorentzian wormhole
Lorentzian traversable wormholes would allow travel in both
directions from one part of the universe to another part of that same
universe very quickly or would allow travel from one universe to
another.
For this reason, the type of traversable wormhole they proposed,
held open by a spherical shell of exotic matter.

Stablization of wormhole
The predicted Einstein-Rosen wormholes would be useless for
travel because they collapse quickly.

But more recent research found that a wormhole containing

"exotic" matter could stay open and unchanging for longer periods
of time.Exotic matter,
a wormhole contained sufficient exotic matter, whether naturally
occurring or artificially added, it could theoretically be used as a
method of sending information or travelers through

British cosmologist Stephen Hawking has argued that such use is

not possible.
Although adding exotic matter to a wormhole might stabilize it to
the point that human passengers could travel safely through it.

But..
Today's technology is insufficient to enlarge or stabilize wormholes,
even if they could be found.

Metrics of wormhole
Theories of wormhole metrics describe the space time geometry of a
wormhole and serve as theoretical models for time travel.

An example of a (traversable) wormhole metric is

One type of non-traversable wormhole metric is the Schwarzschild

solution
