Germain Tobar Physicist Paradox Free Time Travel
Rather than use AI to move through history, Germain Tobar and physicist Dr Fabio Costa from the University of Queensland have devised a mathematical equation to prove that paradox-free time travel is possible. Put simply, the duo have found a way to square the numbers, thus making it possible for events to adjust themselves to be logically consistent with any action that the time traveler makes.



If true, space-time would be able to adapt itself to avoid paradoxes. For example, a time travel could go back in time to stop a pandemic from starting, and should they be successful, there would be disease to defeat. However, the disease would still find a different method to escape, thus removing the paradox.

Classical dynamics says if you know the state of a system at a particular time, this can tell us the entire history of the system. The range of mathematical processes we discovered show that time travel with free will is logically possible in our universe without any paradox,” said Tobar.
