TIME-TRAVEL THEORY: The Grandfather Paradox

NOW STREAMING ON APPLE PODCASTS AND SPOTIFY

In the first episode, my co-host and I will be discussing the interesting and complicated use of Time-travel in pop culture, and diving into the plausibility of it and which famous film has the most accurate representation of it. We dive into Einstein’s work of relativity, or more simply E = MC2, and its relevance in the Christopher Nolan film: Interstellar. We also examine the Grandfather Paradox, a famous paradox that forms with the notion and theories surrounding time travel, and what that means for time travel in pop culture.

For those of you who’ve listened to the podcast and want to learn more about the topics from today, below are links to different works that inspired today’s episode:

- Interstellar, by Christopher Nolan
Perhaps the biggest Inspiration for this episode, and really drove home the idea of telling a complex theme in a short amount of time

- Time Machine, by H.G. Wells
This novella was recommended to me by a friend a few months prior to writing the idea of this episode. A great, short read shows how little the concept of a time machine has progressed.

- “Time Travel is Theoretically Possible”, by Business Insider
An interesting read about the actual plausibility of time travel, and, indirectly, also a comment on the Grandfather Paradox that we discuss in this episode
