#Thought #Experiment: What-if multiple stars are the same #star in different #times?

Disregarding our familiar #paradoxes for a moment, if Time Travel is possible, then mightn't it occur in #Nature? And if-then, how could one know? What evidence should we be looking for? Something duplicated: #stars, #galaxies, #quanta, #identicaltwins, #groundhogday, #Castor & #Pollux.

Adorno et Horkheimer : la critique de la raison instrumentale 

#Adorno et #Horkheimer dénoncent dans "La Dialectique de la Raison" les dérives de la #RaisonInstrumentale. Ils montrent comment la #raison, censée émanciper, devient #outil de #domination. Leur #critique vise à préserver une #RaisonEmancipatrice tout en exposant ses limites. Une #réflexion cruciale sur les #paradoxes de la #rationalité moderne.

Another week, another jam - I am working on big serious projects too, I swear. In the meantime I joined #EducationalJam on @itchio with more #paradoxes, wrestling #Twine some more; after #TriJam 296 (placing 9th of 14 entries; for being the only one without cat content for the theme #SchrödingersCat I think I did okay ;): "Arent't too many games like that around" was a great compliment by the host, imo).

Could #Tachyons Exist? Breaking the #SpeedOfLight

❛❛ a popular notion floated around by proponents of Tachyons is that Tachyons could be used to transmit #signals back in time, which opens up the door to some interesting #paradoxes. ❜❜

Aton Petrov: Time Travel May Be Possible Without Major #Paradoxes

Short 12-min #video on the #cultural & #literary #history and #theoretical #physics of Time Travel. Thinking on the subject rapidly generates paradoxes of #mathematical #logic, which #Petrov says cannot exist.

"Is Time Travel Possible in our #Universe?"

One of the better explainers we've seen on #TimeTravel's mainstream #scientific & #philosophical promises & problems, for ordinary #Earthlings (despite a couple #ads). In the first 4 mins we are introduced to 5 classic #Paradoxes: The #Bootstrap, #Restoration, #ExNihilo, #Predestination & #Autoinfanticide, with everyone's famous #Grandfather showing up later. #Krono-recommended!

"Is Time Travel, Especially Into the Past, Possible?"
#experimental #astroparticle #physicist Matt Szydagis speaking at #TEDx #Schenectady #NY #US

Discussing a range of possibilities & problems of #TimeTravel, emphasizing the #paradoxes, #Einstein, and #quantummechanics. No mention of #entanglement. Agrees that our understanding should include #subatomic particles as #message carriers.

"Why Time Travel is Impossible"
by RealLifeLore

Presents brief descriptions of the classic #Grandfather & #Bootstrap #Paradoxes.
Such #thoughtexperiments give rise to apparently illogical scenarios, including the #HitlerParadox, also mentioned. Although, none absolutely nullifies all possibility of #interdimensional transport. #Video is ~ 7 mins long with a sponsored ad beginning at ~ 6 mins (and 12k+ comments!)
