CHAPTER

The Philosophical Quandaries of Time Travel

This chapter explores the intricate relationship between time travel, free will, and destiny, using tachyons and philosophical references like 'Slaughterhouse-Five' to discuss the implications of immutable timelines. The conversation spans scientific discussions on photons and time perception, while also humorously critiquing time travel depictions in Hollywood films, including 'Frequency' and 'Interstellar'. The speakers dive into the concept of 'chronology protection' and the absence of future visitors, addressing serious scientific notions with light-hearted anecdotes and reflections.
