Time Manipulation Technology

By the 4000s, time manipulation technology will explore the potential for altering the flow of time in localized environments. Advances in theoretical physics and engineering might lead to the development of technologies that can slow down or speed up time within specific fields or for particular objects. Applications could include time dilation for space travel, enhanced productivity by adjusting time perception, or new methods for managing and understanding time-related phenomena. Ethical and practical implications will need to be carefully addressed as humanity navigates the challenges and opportunities of controlling time.
