Summary

This quote suggests that time travel, once solely considered a concept in science fiction, might not be entirely impossible. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, it proposes the idea of warping space-time to such an extent that traveling in a rocket could potentially enable one to return to a point in time before their departure. In a concise manner, the quote highlights how scientific theories open up the possibility of time travel, challenging previous assumptions about its feasibility.
