Traveling back in time isn’t necessarily science fiction, according to a new paper published in Classical and Quantum Gravity. The paper’s title, “Traversable acausal retrograde domains in spacetime,” creates the acronym TARDIS – the name of the fictional time machine in “Doctor Who.” “People think of time travel as something as fiction,” Ben Tippett, the lead author of the study, told The University of British Columbia. “But, mathematically, it is possible.” Specifically, the paper describes a spacetime “bubble” that would travel faster than the speed of light – thereby allowing it to move backwards […] Described in the study as “exotic matter” this enigmatic material would be capable of slowing down time by bending the spacetime continuum. “My model of a time machine uses the curved space-time — to bend time into a circle for the passengers, not in a straight line,” said Tippet. “That circle takes us back in time.” (READ MORE) |
