Fact: The idea of Time Travel boggles my mind and I love it.

Ever since I was younger I always wanted to go back in time, this started a while after legendary rapper 2pac was gunned down in Vegas. Are you saying wtf right about now? Typing this I even said wtf in my head but hold on, let me rewind.. the idea of time travel came into my mind watching Back to the Future, it was mostly traveling back to the 50s/60s like good ol' Marty McFly but after 2Pacs death and the controversy around it, I thought it would be cool to go back in time and either stop it, or find out who did it. Then years went on and time travel has become mostly in the sense of nostalgia/memories of being young, living where I lived and that whole package deal. Also, looking at antiques, mostly vintage photographs are somethings I find fascinating. Going outside and exploring places, seeing old railroad tracks that haven't been used in decades, or old buildings that have not been taken care of and seeing nature take over. Just opening your mind and thinking the world existed long before you did is mind boggling just like the idea of going BACK in time before you were born.

Real Fact: Time Travel to the Future Is Much More Common Than Time Travel to the Past

The most common type of time travel involves a trip to the future. Getting a glimpse of the future is reported much more often than stepping into the past--even momentarily. Thousands of people have precognitive dreams or visions each year, but only a few claim to have visited the past. Many more experience what is known as déjà vu (which means "already seen" in French), a sense that they have visited a place or experienced an event before it actually occurred.

Is future travel easier? Actually, precognition may not be an easier process than retrocognition. It may simply be that it's easier to get others to believe your trip to the future. If you write down what you see and give it to someone before the future event occurs, people will believe you. On the other hand, tell people that you've visited a time in the past and seen the Battle of Bull Run and they are more likely to laugh or to think that you've gone crazy. Since there's no way to prove that a time trip to the past was real, many people may choose not to tell anyone about it.
