Pygmalion, a brilliant sculptor, made a stone statue of a beautiful woman, who would condemn him to live alone in all his life. He came to realize that he fell in love with her. So he turned to the Greek Goddess to bring her to life. However, the Goddess hesitated for a moment before she agreed. In terms of their agreement, he should pass himself off as a Duke and not betray himself. Unfortunately, Pygmalion overlooked the agreement; as a result, the beautiful woman became a stone statue once more.

Time travel is a familiar subject of science fiction and fantasy stories, from H. G. Wells to Rod Serling to Hot Tub Time Machine. But could time travel ever be possible in real life? And, if so, how would humans even handle a technology with such great capacity for destruction?
Some scientists say time travel is theoretically possible, at least if you want to jump ahead to the future, but don't start saving up for a time machine just yet. As physicist Paul Davies explained for CNN in 2013, "Over a century ago, Albert Einstein showed that time is intrinsically (本质上地) elastic, capable of being stretched or shrunk by motion. "
Essentially the closer you're going to the speed of light, the slower time moves. "Fly to the star Vega (织女星), 25 light years away, and back again at 99% of the speed of light, and when you return to Earth in 2062, you will have experienced only seven years' travel time in the spacecraft. In effect, you will have leaped 42 years into Earth's future, "Davies wrote.
So if you were to, theoretically, take a trip in a super-fast spaceship, you might feel (and look) as though only a few years had passed, but when you arrived back on Earth, decades would have passed and all your friends and family would be dead and gone. Time travel!
But what about going backwards? Could it ever be possible to pop back in time and stop bad things from happening and good people from dying? Theoretically, if you were to travel faster than the speed of light, you would be moving backwards in time, according to one hypothesis LiveScience reported.
But most scientists believe that nothing can actually travel faster than light, and, if
