What if I told you that time travel is not science fiction? It's a fact of physics, and astronauts like Scott Kelly have already done it, returning to Earth fractions of a second younger than the rest of us. They are real-life time travelers.In this episode, we're unlocking the secrets of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity to explain how traveling to the future is not just possible, but inevitable for anything moving at high speed. We'll explore the mind-bending reality of time dilation.But what about the holy grail: backward time travel? We'll journey to the theoretical edge of science, exploring bizarre concepts like wormholes that require hypothetical "negative mass" to function. And we'll confront the ultimate cosmic rulebook: the "self-consistency principle," the universe's built-in defense system against the grandfather paradox.Stick with us to the very end to learn about the bizarre concept of a closed timelike curve—a scenario where the past and present are locked in an unbreakable, unchangeable loop.The future is stranger than you think.
