for those who would welcome some help with physics.
Jaju meant-> GTR= General Theory of Relativity
and STR= Special Theory of Relativity
and photons: a light beam is assumed to be comprised of
photons, the way metal is made up of atoms.
it is also known as Theory of General Relativity. Albert Einstein was
the Torvalds of this.

In a film, superman circles around the earth with speed greater than the
speed of light, which is the fastest possible speed, though never
attainable, as mass tends to infinity when a body nears the speed of
light.
the director must be a 12th standard fail in physics, so he had shown
that the earth starts revolving in the opposite direction (sun rises in
the west). hence time goes in reverse direction,
from-future-to-present-to-past,
and then stops at a "time" before the incident ( not able to recall),
such that superman could take preventive measure and avert the disaster.
it has no scientific basis.
