Ask a child how to travel through time and you'll get a simple answer: Use a time machine
Ask a physicist, and suddenly you'll start hearing outlandish, seemingly made-up terms like "quark" and "quantum gravity." In that moment, you'll realize the world of modern physics waved goodbye to simple Newtonian phraseology — the likes of inertia, momentum and plain-old gravity — long ago

So whether you're trying to erase a mistake in your past, or simply make it through a sci-fi flick without your head exploding, you're going to need a little more than your dusty high-school physics textbook. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/04/05/time-travel-physics-glossary/)
