Description

How would time travel work? Journey back through some of StarTalk’s favorite time travel moments from the past, covering topics like The Grandfather Paradox, wormholes, and tachyons. Featuring Brian Greene, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Colin Jost, and more! What would time travel look like to an outside observer? Learn about how time travel through wormholes would work, The Grandfather Paradox, and whether the timeline cares about major events versus minor events. Is time travel to the past even theoretically possible? We break down ways we are already time traveling through time dilation. What would it be like to look at time from a higher dimension?

I love the idea that no matter what you do in the past, it will not change anything. You go back and change something in history, return back to your original time. When you get back to your original time you notice nothing has changed because what you went back into the past has already happened before you left, because you left back in time to change it.

The other side of the The Grandfather Paradox. Look at Fry from Futurama. Another time travel paradox. You travel 30 years into the future to visit yourself only to find out you've been missing for the past 30 years.

I love how Neil constantly retells the same anecdotes, examples, or analogies when explaining a point to someone different each time but always with a consistent level of enthusiasm and chuckling.

I have already traveled back in time. I flew from Australia to the US and I arrived in the US on the same day I left but it was earlier in the day than when I left. Only a few hours before I left but I also traveled for 17 hours. I would not advise trying to travel back in time the other way around though, you will wind up in the future.
