In honor of Time Travel Week here I thought I'd find an undiscovered comedy bit dealing with time travel and illustrating some of the paradox and causality issues we've discussed this week. This is called "Built a Time Machine to Kill Hitler" and is from the people at Funkanomics.com

One of my favorite takes on time travel comes from the Spanish movie "Time Crimes" where the protagonist discovers that every time he travels through time he leaves another version of himself stranded in that time period. He eventually has 4 versions of himself running around and hiding from each other at the same time trying to hide from the first version of himself ans set "time" straight again.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that time travel has consequences that you cannot ignore or predict, and this version of time travel theory seems the most realistic to me.
