Time Travel Paradoxes (Part-2)

An another type of casual loop paradox is "Predestination Paradox"

1.Predestination Paradox

A Predestination paradox occurs when the actions of a person traveling back in time becomes part of past events, and may ultimately causes the event he is trying to prevent to take place. This results in a ‘temporal causality loop’ in which Event 1 in the past influences Event 2 in the future (time travel to the past) which then causes Event 1 to occur.

Suppose one day your brother dies in a hit and run car accident , and to prevent this you travel back in time and reaches the place to stop your brother but accidently you hit your brother with the car and realizes that the person who hit your brother was not someone else but you. You wanted to save your brother but you were destined to complete the loop and kill your brother.

2.Killing Hitler Paradox

This paradox is quite similar to the Grandfather Paradox but this has a huge effect on everyone in the world rather than just only you.

Suppose you decided to kill Hitler but you knew about hitler because you studied about him in history , and he is in history because he did some of the worst things but if you kill him by going in the past he would be able to do nothing and nobody will know about him and you would know nothing of him and you never plan to kill hitler but if you never kill hitler he would do everything he is known for and nothing changes and you again plan to kill him but it happens again.

If you kill hitler it would have effect on whole world not just only you and after that its all chaos , nothing makes sense .

3.Fermi Paradox

The Fermi Paradox can be adapted for time travel, and phrased "if time travel were possible, where are all the visitors from the future?" Answers vary, from time travel not being possible, to the possibility that visitors from the future cannot reach any arbitrary point in the past, or that they disguise themselves to avoid detection.

One another reason why we haven't met the time travelers can be that time travel to past is not possible at all or whole concept of time travel is just not possible in reality.

What is a Dyson sphere? How much energy can we harvest through it?

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output. The concept is a thought experiment that attempts to explain how a spacefaring civilization would meet its energy requirements once those requirements exceed what can be generated from the home planet's resources alone. Because only a tiny fraction of a star's energy emissions reaches the surface of any orbiting planet , building structures encircling a star would enable a civilization to harvest far more energy. The concept was later popularized by Freeman Dyson in his 1960 paper "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation ". Dyson speculated that such structures would be the logical consequence of the escalating energy needs of a technological civilization and would be a necessity for its long-term survival. He proposed that searching for such structures could lead to the detection of advanced, intelligent extrat...

Time Travel Paradoxes (part-1)

THE IDEA OF TIME TRAVEL IS AS MUCH DANGEROUS AS EXITING IT SOUNDS AND SO ARE THE PARADOXES ASSOCIATED WITH IT . Simply put a paradox is a logical contradiction associated with the idea of time and time travel. In physics there are two types of paradoxes - Consistency paradoxes and Casual loops. The consistency paradox occurs when the past is changed in any way, thus creating a contradiction. This gives rise to our first paradox - 1. The Grandfather Paradox Suppose if a traveler were ever to go back in time and kill their grandfather in his childhood, it would result in one of the time traveler's parents, and ergo the time traveler, not being born. If the time traveler were not born, then it would not be possible for them to kill the grandfather in the first place. Therefore, the grandfather lives to offspring the time traveler's parents, and therefore the time traveler. There is, thus no predicted outcome to this. Well but there might an answer to this paradox. ...

Top 5 Phenomenon that Science Still Couldn't Explain.

1.The Taos Hum In the small city of Taos, New Mexico, some residents and visitors for years have been annoyed and puzzled by a mysterious and faint low-frequency hum in the desert air. Oddly, only about 2 percent of Taos residents report hearing the sound. Some believe it is caused by unusual acoustics; others suspect mass hysteria or some secret, sinister purpose. Whether described as a whir, hum, or buzz and whether psychological, natural, or supernatural no one has yet been able to locate the sound's origin. Thing is, a survey revealed that those who claim to hear the sounds actually hear many different sounds, suggesting the experiences may be subjective, not actually objective sounds (and pretty certainly not one particular sound). 2.UFO's There is no doubt that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist — many people see things in the skies that they cannot identify, ranging from aircraft to meteors. Whether or not any of those objects and lights are alien spacecraft is ano...
