Can humans really travel through time as depicted in science fiction movies? This thought-provoking question became the central theme of the latest episode of Kelas Sahabat, aired by Suara Madiun on Thursday, March 27, 2025.

Titled “INSANE! Can We Time Travel Like in the Movies?”, this podcast featured a young guest, Eva Dwi Rahayu, a student from the Physics Education program at Universitas PGRI Madiun (UNIPMA). Eva discussed the physics concepts closely related to the phenomenon of space and time, guided by Suara Madiun’s host, Rere.

With a relaxed and enthusiastic style, Eva explored various modern physics theories that have inspired sci-fi films such as Interstellar, Back to the Future, and Tenet. Not only did she explain complex theories, but she also presented them in an exciting and easy-to-understand narrative.

“This topic is interesting to me because it makes people curious. Can we really do time travel or go to other dimensions like in the movies?” Eva said in an interview after the podcast.

According to Eva, concepts often seen as complicated in physics, such as the relativity of time and space, are actually very close to our everyday lives. Movies serve as an enjoyable medium to introduce and understand these concepts.

In addition to entertainment, this podcast has an educational mission. “The message is that physics is a science that can be understood and is often encountered because it is so close to our daily lives,” she explained.

Eva hopes that through Kelas Sahabat, viewers and podcast listeners will see physics not as a scary subject but as a science that actually simplifies life. “Physics isn’t hard if we’re willing to get to know it, understand it, and study it,” Eva concluded enthusiastically.

This episode of Kelas Sahabat not only provided entertainment but also opened new insights on how science can be packaged in an engaging and enjoyable way, even making it feel like we could jump to the past or future, at least through films and scientific perspectives.
