Katswiri wa sayansi ya zakuthambo Ron Mallett amakhulupirira kuti wapeza njira yobwererera nthawiyo - mwamaganizidwe. Posachedwa pulofesa wa University of Connecticut wa physics adauza CNN kuti adalemba sayansi yomwe ingakhale maziko a makina enieni. Wapanganso chida chofanizira kuti afotokoze gawo lofunikira pamalingaliro ake - ngakhale anzawo a Mallett sanakhulupirire kuti makina ake anthawi zonse adzakwaniritsidwa.
Kuti mumvetse makina a Mallett, muyenera kudziwa zoyambira za chiphunzitso cha Albert Einstein, chonena kuti nthawi imathamanga kapena kuchepa kutengera kuthamanga kwa chinthu.
Kutengera ndi chiphunzitsochi, ngati munthu anali mlengalenga akuyenda pafupi ndi liwiro la kuwala, nthawi imadutsa pang'onopang'ono kwa iwo kuposa munthu amene atsala padziko lapansi. Kwenikweni, wokayenda pamwezi amatha kuzungulira mozungulira malo osakwana sabata, ndipo atabwerera ku Earth, zaka 10 zikadadutsa anthu omwe adawasiya, kuwapangitsa kuti awonekere kwa chombo ngati momwe amapitira nthawi tsogolo.
Koma ngakhale asayansi ambiri amavomereza kuti kudumpha mtsogolo mwanjira imeneyo mwina ndikotheka, nthawi yopita zakale ndi nkhani ina yonse - ndipo a Mallett akuganiza kuti atha kugwiritsa ntchito lasers.
Monga katswiri wa sayansi ya zakuthambo adafotokozera CNN, lingaliro lake loti makina azinthu agwirizane ndi chiphunzitso china cha Einstein, chiphunzitso chonse chokhudzana. Malinga ndi chiphunzitsochi, zinthu zazikulu zimapindika nthawi-yayitali - mphamvu yomwe timawona ngati mphamvu yokoka - ndipo mphamvu yokoka ndiyakuti, nthawi yocheperako imadutsa.
"Ngati mungathe kupindika malo, pali kuthekera kotheka kupotokola malo," Mallett adauza CNN. "M'malingaliro a Einstein, zomwe timazitcha kuti danga zimaphatikizaponso nthawi - ndichifukwa chake amatchedwa kuti space-time, chilichonse chomwe mungachite kuti mupange danga chimapanganso nthawi."
Amakhulupirira kuti ndizotheka kupotoza nthawi kukhala gawo lomwe lingaloleze kuyenda kwakanthawi kakale. Amamanganso ngakhale ziwonetsero zosonyeza momwe lasers angathandizire kukwaniritsa izi.
"Mwa kuphunzira za mphamvu yokoka yomwe idapangidwa ndi makina ojambulira," Mallett adauza CNN, "Izi zitha kuyambitsa njira yatsopano yowonera kuthekera kwa makina osungira nthawi potengera kuwala kozungulira."
Ngakhale Mallet anali ndi chiyembekezo chantchito yake, komabe, anzawo akukayikira kuti ali panjira yopita pamakina ogwiritsa ntchito nthawi.
"Sindikuganiza kuti [ntchito yake] idzakhala yopatsa zipatso," katswiri wa sayansi ya zakuthambo Paul Sutter adauza CNN, "Chifukwa ndikuganiza kuti pali zolakwika zazikulu pamasamu ake ndi malingaliro ake, motero chida chothandiza chikuwoneka ngati chosatheka."
Ngakhale Mallet amavomereza kuti malingaliro ake ndiwongopeka pakadali pano. Ndipo akuti ngakhale makina ake anthawi zonse atagwira ntchito, akuvomereza, zitha kukhala ndi malire omwe angalepheretse aliyense kubwereranso nthawi kukapha mwana Adolf Hitler.
“Mukhozanso kutumiza uthenga,” adauza CNN, “Koma ukhoza kungotumiziranso pamalo omwe ukayatse makinawo.”
