Description: An interview on Edge with the author and physicist Paul Davies about time travel and the ensuing paradoxes, physical time-travel scenarios from Gödel's universe to wormholes, and the interplay between physics and science-fiction. Includes both a transcript and a video version.
As providing an insight into the nature of reality, and the nature of the physical universe, this whole area is really fascinating. I've thought a lot about it over the years, and I'm still undecided as to whether nature could never permit such a crazy thing, or whether yes, these entities, these wormholes, or some other type of gravitational system do at least in principle exist, and in principle one could visit the past, and we have to find some way of avoiding the paradox. Maybe the way is to give up free will. Maybe that's an illusion. Maybe we can't go back and change the past freely.
