Theodore Sider Time Travel, Coincidences and Counterfactuals
In no possible world does a time traveler succeed in killing her earlier self before she ever enters a time machine. So if many, many time travelers went back in time trying to kill their unprotected former selves, the time travelers would fail in many strange, “coincidental” ways, slipping on banana peels, killing the wrong victim, and so on. Such cases produce doubts about time travel. How co...

Investigation of parameters affecting the travel time at tramway systems: the case of Athens, Greece
Within the framework of this paper, various parameters that might affect the efficiency and the reliability of a tramway system are examined. Two linear regression models are built in order to investigate the way these parameters are affecting the commercial speed and the travel time deviation, respectively. The case study is the tramway of Athens which operates since the 2004 Olympic Games. Al...
متن کاملThe Paradoxes of Time Travel
T IME travel, I maintain, is possible. The paradoxes of time travel are oddities, not impossibilities. They prove only this much, which few would have doubted: that a possible world where time travel took place would be a most strange world, different in fundamental ways from the world we think is ours. I shall be concerned here with the sort of time travel that is recounted in science fiction....
متن کاملThe Physics of Time Travel
TIME travel has traditionally been the domain of science fiction, not physics. Fortunately, however, at least within Einstein's theories of relativity, discussions of time travel are open to physicists as well. Special relativity unifies the concepts of time and space. General relativity goes beyond unification and allows time and space to warp together in the presence of matter. General relati...
