Time Loops and Causality: The World of Closed Timelike Curves

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

We tour how general relativity can tilt the light cone and create closed timelike curves—paths that loop back to where and when you started. From Gödel’s rotating universe to Kerr black holes and Hawking’s chronology protection, we explore the physics, the paradoxes, and the ideas meant to keep causality safe. A brain-bending dive into the possibility—and the limits—of time travel in our universe.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
