For almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor.  Yesterday he proudly claimed in   1  that despite his complete   2  of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people’s lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was   3  to die on something she had swallowed.
“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I   4  playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope(听诊器)and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. “At first, I just   5  . Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it’s easy to   6  people in,” he said.
One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been   7  by a car and fainted. When she   8  in hospital, York was standing over her.
“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn’t think there was anything wrong. “I would never have   9  he was a fake(冒牌货)if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his   10  a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears.”
Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he   11  with his cheating for so long and then   12  him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders.
“I can only hope that this will not lead to   13  problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the   14  of the psychiatrists who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a   15  after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.

I love science and science fiction. Like many science fiction fans, I am fascinated by the possibility of time travel. However, one must combine romance with reasoning and look into the chances of time travel critically.
First of all, we must remember the whole universe is in motion. If we want to go back to yesterday, our "time machine" has to move back in time and space. If someone claimed he was at home when he suddenly travelled 200 years back in time, he either had an illusion or made the story up. Two hundred years ago, Earth was in a different place in space, so how can you travel back 200 years without moving in space? Don't get me wrong. I am not knocking the genius of science fiction writers. H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine" is a great work of fiction, but that’s all. I have read many other time travelling science fiction stories since reading H.G. Wells, but none address this problem of displacement.
My own argument for the impossibility of time travel is that physical states of the past no longer exist and those of the future are not here yet. To be able to move back and forth in time requires everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen everywhere in the whole universe at every single moment in time-past, present, and future-to be stored as a "reality" somewhere-like the save game file of a computer game that contains every single byte of information of the game at the point it was saved, but you would need an almost extremely large file and almost extremely many of them-so it can be re-entered and communicated with, and not just light signals for viewing. To me, I don’t buy it.
