/ The Central Bank of Iraq’s total sales of hard currency to the US dollar during the past week amounted to more than 800 million dollars.
Agency correspondent stated that the Central Bank sold during the past week and for the four days in which the auction was opened, 883 million, 860 thousand and 97 dollars, at a daily rate of 220 million, 965 million, and 24 dollars, lower than what it recorded last week, which amounted to one billion and 48 million 170 thousand and 594 dollars.
The highest dollar sales were on Wednesday, when sales amounted to 222 million, 559 thousand and 204 dollars, while the lowest sales were on Thursday, when sales amounted to 219 million, 157 thousand and 334 dollars.
Our correspondent indicated that sales of foreign remittances during the past week amounted to 801 million 30 thousand and 97 dollars, an increase of 90% compared to cash sales that amounted to 82 million 830 thousand dollars.
Our correspondent explained that the sales went in the form of cash and transfers abroad to finance foreign trade, while the selling price of documentary credits and international settlements for electronic cards reached 1,305 dinars per dollar, while the selling price of transfers abroad and the cash selling price reached 1,310 dinars per dollar.
Title: Understanding the Future of Time Travel: An Interview with Dr. Emily Grant
Interviewer (Time.news Editor): Welcome, Dr. Emily Grant! We’re thrilled to have you here to discuss the fascinating developments in the field of time travel. As a leading physicist specializing in temporal studies, your insights are invaluable to our readers. Let’s dive right in!
Dr. Emily Grant: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to explore this intricate subject with you and your audience.
Interviewer: To start, can you share with us the current scientific consensus about time travel? Is it truly feasible, or is it still confined to the realms of science fiction?
Dr. Emily Grant: That’s a great question. Currently, time travel as popularly portrayed in movies and books remains theoretical. However, certain aspects of physics, particularly Einstein’s theory of relativity, suggest that time is not as linear as we once thought. There are solutions in the equations, such as wormholes, that could theoretically allow for time travel, but practical implementation is another story altogether.
Interviewer: You mentioned wormholes. Can you elaborate on what they are and how they relate to time travel?
Dr. Emily Grant: Absolutely! Wormholes are theoretical passages through space-time that could create shortcuts between two points in the universe. Imagine folding a piece of paper and piercing it with a pencil; the pencil represents a wormhole. While these concepts are mathematically sound, they remain unproven in practice. We also face immense challenges, such as the stability of these structures and the energy required to create them.
Interviewer: It sounds like we have a long way to go before we can step into a time machine! What do you believe are the most promising areas of research right now in this field?
Dr. Emily Grant: I think quantum physics holds significant promise. Concepts like quantum entanglement and the multiverse theory suggest alternative ways of thinking about time and reality. Research in quantum gravity could also lead to breakthroughs in understanding how time operates at both the smallest and largest scales in the universe.
Interviewer: That’s intriguing! If time travel were possible, what ethical considerations would arise?
Dr. Emily Grant: Ethics is a very important aspect of this discussion. If we consider the implications of changing events in the past, it raises questions about free will and consequences. The so-called “butterfly effect,” where small changes can lead to significant consequences, plays a significant role in this debate. We would need to establish strict ethical guidelines and regulations to prevent misuse.
Interviewer: It seems like a double-edged sword. What about time travel to the future? Is that more palatable from a scientific standpoint?
Dr. Emily Grant: Traveling to the future is theoretically more feasible. According to relativity, time dilation occurs when you move close to the speed of light or in a strong gravitational field. Essentially, if you were to journey at these high speeds, you would age more slowly than people on Earth, effectively allowing you to “travel” to the future.
Interviewer: Fascinating! If our readers are eager to learn more about time travel, what resources or literature would you recommend?
Dr. Emily Grant: I recommend starting with Einstein’s original works, particularly “Relativity: The Special and General Theory.” For a broader understanding, books like Brian Greene’s “The Fabric of the Cosmos” and Kip Thorne’s “The Science of Interstellar” offer accessible insights into complex themes surrounding time and space.
Interviewer: Thank you, Dr. Grant, for your enlightening perspective on time travel! It seems we are on the precipice of incredible discoveries. We look forward to seeing how this field evolves in the future.
Dr. Emily Grant: Thank you! It’s been a pleasure discussing this with you and your readers. The exploration of time is one of the most exciting frontiers in science, and I can’t wait to see where it leads us.
Interviewer: And we’ll be sure to keep our audience updated on these developments. Thank you again for your time!
