THE STEPHEN HAWKING THEORY BEHIND SURIYA'S 24

Suriya's 24 trailer portrays him sitting in a wheelchair in a semi paralyzed state. No wonder where Vikram K Kumar got the inspiration for the characterization of Suriya’s role as Aathreya because who else can provide inspiration for a time travel fantasy film than the existing authority on that subject, Stephen Hawking? Here’s an interestingly crisp explanation of the renowned scientist’s theory of time travel:

There are four dimensions in space - length, breadth, height and time. Travelling across the 3 dimensions is possible. But is it possible to travel across the fourth dimension, time? For this we have to travel at the speed of light. Imagine a train travelling across the width of the world at the speed of light, it will make seven circles a second. The passengers inside will have lived a week’s time, but relatively the rest of the world would have lived a thousand years paving way for time travel and the scope for creating a sci-fi thriller. Class dismissed!
