Time travel and Teleportation

Time travelling and time machines have been a topic of science fiction and countless movies for many decades. In fact, it appears that the possibility to travel in time, either into the future or into the past, has appealed to the imagination of mankind for centuries.  While many may think it is absurd to believe that we could travel back or forwards in time, some of the world’s most brilliant scientists have investigated whether it could one day be made a reality.

However, if time travel really was possible, one can hardly contemplate what this may mean for humanity for whoever has the power to move through time, has the power to modify history. While this may sound attractive, it would be impossible to know the consequences of any alteration of past events, and how this would affect the future.

TIME TRAVEL AND TELEPORTATION IN ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY 


If we look into ancient texts we can find a number of references to time travelling. In Hindu

Brahma and king kakudmi

mythology, there is the story of King Raivata Kakudmi who travels to meet the creator Brahma. Even if this trip didn’t last long, when Kakudmi returned back to Earth, 108 yugas had passed on Earth, and it is thought that each yuga represents about 4 million years. The explanation Brahma gave to Kakudmi is that time runs differently in different planes of existence. Similarly, we have references in the Quran about the cave of Al-Kahf. The story refers to a group of young Christian people, who in 250 AD tried to escape persecution and retreated, under God’s guidance, to a cave where God put them to sleep. They woke up 309 years later. This story coincides with the Christian story of the seven sleepers , with a few differences.

Consider the story of Usha and Chitralekha, which appears in "Srimad Bhagavatam." The beautiful Princess Usha, single and longing for love, had the experience of a handsome youth in her dream one night. The dream was interrupted, and she woke up and exclaimed, "Oh, beloved one, where are you?" She confided the dream to her close friend Chitralekha. Chitralekha said she would find who the young man was and get him to her. But how was she to recognize him?
Chitralekha began to draw a series of faces, and asked Usha if any of them resembled the man of her dream. Usha came upon a drawing which was of Aniruddha, a grandson of Lord Krishna. That night, Chitralekha transported herself to Dwaraka where she found Aniruddha. Two aspects of today's world are implicit in this story. First there is the idea that one can identify an unknown person through sketches, a matter that is routinely done in criminal investigations. Then, of course, there is the notion of teleportation.

Another story comes from the Japanese legend of Urashima Taro . Urashima Taro was an individual who was said to visit the underwater palace of the Dragon God Ryujin.

He stayed there for three days, but when he returned to the surface, 300 years had passed. In the Buddhist text, Pali Canon , it is written that in the heaven of the thirty Devas (the place of the Gods), time passes at a different pace where one hundred Earth years count as a single day for them. And there are many more references.
As we have studied that mass can change into energy and energy can change into mass, that is simple concept of Teleportation.Teleportation is the transportation of a person or object from one place to another instantaneously.

In Hindu mythology, the first example of teleportation was used by a saint "Narad"

Narad

who is devotee to Lord Vishnu and messenger to all Gods. He always change his mass into energy.Saint Narad has a "Veena" in his hand and spreads teaching of Gods around the world. He just say Lord Vishnu's name twice and gets teleported in less than a fraction of seconds.

Famous incident of teleportation

One of the most famous incidents of teleportation occurred in 1593 AD when a strangely dressed soldier appeared among the sentries guarding the Plaza Mayor in Mexico City.  This soldier was wearing what appeared to be a guard’s costume, but in no way did it resemble what the other guards around him were wearing. Here is the case of Gil Perez; a man who showed up in Mexico, more than 9,000 nautical miles from Manila Philippines. It is a case from the official records of Mexico which has never been solved.

The story of Gil Perez dates back to the 16th century when he was a Spanish soldier and palace guard of the Palacio del Gobernador (Governor’s Palace) in Manila, Philippines. Gil Perez was just a regular soldier until the morning of October 24, 1593. That day, Perez was on guard duty at the palace when something rather strange happened.
Lack of sleep and a warm day caused Perez to become tired and he decided to take a short nap while leaning against the palace wall. When he reopened his eyes, Perez was surprised to find himself in an unknown location.

As he was still wearing the uniform of the guards of Palacio Del Gobernador, odd clothing for the new location, people began to approach him and wanted to learn who he was and what he was doing there. Perez admitted that while he was aware that he was no longer in the Philippines, he had no idea where he was now or how he had managed to get there.
When it was explained to him by Mexican officials that he was in Mexico City, Perez refused to believe it saying he had received his orders on the morning of October 23rd in Manila and that it was impossible for him to be in Mexico City on the evening of the 24th.
Perez was brought before the Holy Tribunal of the Inquisition where they questioned the soldier extensively. He apparently told authorities that he had travelled from Manila to Mexico “in less time than it takes a cock to crow.”  Under questioning, Perez repeated his story with his testimony taken down by a Friar Gaspar de San Augustin. Here is a translation of Perez's statement as written by the Friar:
 “My name is Gil Perez,” the soldier testified . “As to standing sentry here, I am doing as nearly as possible what I was ordered to do. I was ordered this morning to mount guard at the doors of the governor’s palace in Manilla. I know very well that this is not the governor’s palace and evidently I am not in Manila. Why or how that may be, I know not. But here I am, and this is a palace of some kind, so I am doing my duty as nearly as possible. Last night the governor of the Philippines, His Excellency Don Gomez Perez Dasmarinas, had his head cracked with an axe and is dead of it.”
