论文摘要
由于封闭的时机曲线与一般相对论是一致的,因此许多人断言,即使在技术上不可行的话,也可以在身体上旅行到过去。但是,时间旅行到过去的可能性取决于未说的和错误的假设,即零变化对过去意味着对当前的变化为零。我表明这个假设在逻辑上是不一致的。因此,它使得时间不科学和伪科学既不科学。
Because closed timelike curves are consistent with general relativity, many have asserted that time travel into the past is physically possible if not technologically infeasible. However, the possibility of time travel into the past rests on the unstated and false assumption that zero change to the past implies zero change to the present. I show that this assumption is logically inconsistent; as such, it renders time travel into the past both unscientific and pseudoscientific.
