Some theories, most notably special and general relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of space time, or specific types of motion in space, might allow time travel into the past and future if these geometries or motions are possible.[9] In technical papers physicists generally avoid the commonplace language of "moving" or "traveling" through time ('movement' normally refers only to a change in spatial position as the time coordinate is varied), and instead discuss the possibility of closed time like curves, which are worldliness that form closed loops in space time, allowing objects to return to their own past. There are known to be solutions to the equations of general relativity that describe space times which contain closed time like curves, but the physical plausibility of these solutions is uncertain.
Physicists take for granted that if one were to move away from the Earth at relativistic velocities and return, more time would have passed on Earth than for the traveler, so in this sense it is accepted that relativity allows "travel into the future" (although according to relativity there is no single objective answer to how much time has 'really' passed between the departure and the return).
When you lease a new Honda or Acura automobile, you contract to use it for the first - and best - period of its life. Your monthly payment covers the depreciation of the vehicle, plus a service fee. That means that you pay only for the portion of the vehicle's worth that you are actually going to use. In a lease, your mileage is generally limited to 12,000 or 15,000 miles per year, although you can "buy" extra miles up front to save excess mileage charges at the end of your lease.
Your monthly lease payment is calculated based on several factors, including the term of the lease, a service charge, the capitalized cost which is based, in part, on the purchase price, and the vehicle's projected residual value at the end of your lease. A capitalized cost reduction, similar to a down payment, can help reduce your monthly payment. To save time at the dealer, you can even apply for pre-approval online. Don't forget to check with your insurance agent to make sure you have sufficient coverage.
