If anyone's interested in a plausible theory about how time travel may be possible check out the following John Titor time travel method. It's at least a very interesting read and you can dive into any one of the things mentioned.
John Titor didn’t claim time travel worked by “going faster than light.”
He said it worked by controlling gravity itself.
The device he described was the C204 Gravity Distortion Time Displacement Unit, a roughly 500-lb machine installed in a vehicle. Its core used two rotating micro-singularities (tiny Kerr black holes) suspended inside a magnetic containment system.
Each singularity was about 1.5 cm across, extremely dense, and spinning. They were stacked vertically and rotated in opposite directions, creating a controlled gravitational gradient between them. Because rotating black holes produce frame dragging, the surrounding spacetime gets twisted. When two are paired and carefully balanced, their combined gravity creates a localized distortion bubble in spacetime.
Control came from electron injection. Streams of electrons were fired into the singularities to regulate their mass and spin, effectively acting as a throttle for the gravitational distortion. The stronger the distortion, the more spacetime curvature the machine generated.
Once the field reached the required level, the craft could move along a closed timelike curve—not teleportation, but sliding along the curvature of spacetime itself.
Navigation required extreme precision. The machine included:
Three atomic clocks
Gravitational sensors
Computer guidance
Those systems had to constantly correct for Earth’s rotation, Earth’s orbit, the solar system’s motion, and galactic drift, because if you jumped through time without correcting for those movements, you would arrive in empty space instead of on Earth.
The machine also had:
Magnetic containment chambers to suspend the singularities
Radiation shielding
X-ray venting ports to release high-energy radiation produced during operation
Primary and backup power systems
When active, the singularities generated a cone-shaped gravitational distortion field around the vehicle. Inside that field, spacetime was warped enough that movement along the time axis became possible.
Titor also explained that time travel doesn’t send you back along the exact same timeline. Instead, the jump places you on a different worldline, meaning a slightly different version of history. He estimated typical divergence between timelines at about 1–2 percent.
His mission, according to his posts, was to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer because it had a hidden capability allowing it to emulate older IBM mainframe systems (System/360 and System/370). That feature was supposedly needed in the future to debug legacy code.
So the full claim was simple but radical:
A pair of spinning micro black holes, magnetically contained and controlled by electron injection, create a gravitational distortion field strong enough to bend spacetime. With atomic clocks and gravitational sensors guiding the trajectory, a vehicle inside that field can slide along spacetime and move between timelines.

That’s the entire mechanism he laid out.
