The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author‘s earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no Tech Notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of TIME MACHINES. Writing about time travel is, today, a respectable business. It hasn’t always been so. After all, time travel, prima facie, appears to violate a fundamental law of nature; every effect has a cause, with the cause occurring before the effect. Time travel to the past, however, seems to allow, indeed to demand, backwards causation, with an effect (the time traveler emerging into the past as he exits from his time machine) occurring before its cause (the time traveler pushing the start button on his machine’s control panel to start his trip backward through time). Time Machine Tales includes new discussions of the advances by physicists and philosophers that have appeared since the publication of TIME MACHINES i | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Causality Loops Time Travel; Grandfather Paradox; Physics of Time Machines; Predestination Paradox Expl | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48864-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-48862-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-48864-6Series ISSN 2197-1188 Series E-ISSN 2197-1196 | | issn_series | 2197-1188 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
