#11 | Time Travel With Athena, Aged 11
Description
Athena, aged 11, wants to know if time travel is possible!
We will be upfront and say that the nerds don't really have an answer to this one because there really isn't one yet.
We discuss Einstein's theory of relativity and how it says that we are all travelling into the future at different rates due to time dilation. And how the bending of spacetime and wormholes may create opportunities for travel into the past, but there is probably some undiscovered law of nature, like quantum gravity, that makes it impossible. Oh, and there is no such thing as the "present"!
This turned out to be a great little chat on the mysterious nature of time.
