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.

5 Science Facts That School Didn't Teach Us

https://bismuni.com/pi44ai5kt?key=b1e465821452bd5a40fd39aee6f4dc57  1.Oxygen Has A Colour As a gas, oxygen is odourless and colourless. In its liquid and solid forms, however, it looks pale blue. 2.Bananas are Radioactive This is strange but true , bananas contain potassium, and since potassium decays, that makes them slightly radioactive. But it’s nothing you need to worry about. You’d need to eat 10,000,000 bananas at once to die of radiation poisoning. 3.Water can exist in three states at once This is called the Triple Boil, and at that temperature, water exists as a gas, a liquid and a solid simultaneously. It requires very specific conditions to achieve, so please don't try this at home. 4.Helium can work against Gravity When helium is cooled to extreme temperatures, just a few degrees away from absolute zero (-460˚F or -273˚C), it  turns into a superfluid , meaning it can flow without friction. It can climb up and over the sides of a glass, and leak through molecule-thin...

Let's move the solar system - Stellar Engine

Ever thought of if we made contact with other intelligent life form , how are we gonna meet them physically with all the humans on earth? Don't worry there is a solution , and it is "Stellar Engine". Now what is a stellar engine? Simply put it is a hypothetical megastructure which uses a star's energy to propel or move the star and as the star moves the other planets will also move due the gravity of the star. The concept of Stellar engine was first introduced by Badescu and Cathcart. There are three classes of stellar engines : 1.Class A - Shkadov thruster One of the simplest examples of a stellar engine is the Shkadov thruster, or a Class A stellar engine. Such an engine is a stellar propulsion system, consisting of an enormous mirror/light sail—actually a massive type of solar statite large enough to classify as a megastructure—which would balance gravitational attraction towards and radiation pressure away from the star. Since the radiation pressure of the star wo...
