The Cosmos

I was laying in bed last night, minding my own business when the history channel decided to play a show about the universe. So I thought cool, something to watch besides reality TV. They started in on Wormhole theory and explaining how it works and how time works. For some reason I cannot get my mind around this idea. They were talking about how on one end of the wormhole it is a different time then on the other end. There were pretty pictures and clocks floating in space illustrating this, but I still was baffled. They also talked about how time on earth is different then time for someone in a rocket in space. Ok now, I get that gravity has a pull on time, and I understand the idea of what they are talking about, but for some reason I cannot see how it would make time travel possible. I mean, sure so its 12 here and in space its 1205... but what difference does it make if we are all in the instance. Maybe I am a little dee dee dee on this but how can you travel through a wormhole to the past? Its bothering me that my thinking wont accept this idea. I guess I am just a really linear person and any ideas of differing time in the same instance of the universe is crazy to me. Bleh
