Physics vs. Time Travel

Everyone loves a good time travel story. However, given what we know -- and don't know -- about physics, is time travel in any way plausible? Using popular movies as a framework, Prof. Ken Wharton will outline several distinct categories of consistent time travel stories, and discuss possible connections with actual physics.

Dr. Ken Wharton is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at San Jose State University
