A Time Travel Dialogue by John W. Carroll
Author:John W. Carroll [Carroll, John W.]
Format: pdf
Tags: The setting is the Jefferson National Laboratory during a period of five days in 2010. Dr. Carlene Rufus's experimental search for the psi-lepton and the resulting intractable data spurs a discussion of the possibility of time travel. She and two colleagues are pushed by empirical results to address the grandfather paradox and other puzzles about backwards causation, with attention also given to causal loops, multi-dimensional time, and the prospect that only the present exists. Sensible solutions to the main puzzles emerge, ultimately advancing the case for time travel really being possible., Science, Philosophy, Time, Paradox, General, Time Travel, Metaphysics, Physics, Dialogue
