      DescriptionProfessor Sarah Bridle told BBC Radio 4 this morning that scientists know how to travel forward over a hundred years in just a week.

      In a discussion on time travel, the leading astrophysicist at the University of Manchester said this method is the closest scientists have come to cracking time travel.

      However, she claimed that this was not feasible with current technology and such time travel would require a "new kind of spaceship that would use up massive amounts of energy".
