In the context of time travel, what is an anomaly?

  1. A deviation from the expected sequence of events.

  2. A paradox caused by altering the past.

  3. A disruption in the flow of time.

  4. A change in the laws of physics.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An anomaly in time travel refers to an unexpected or unexplained event or phenomenon that deviates from the normal course of history or the established rules of time travel.

What is the grandfather paradox?

  1. The idea that traveling back in time and killing your own grandfather would prevent your own existence.

  2. The notion that changing the past would create an alternate timeline, leaving the original timeline unaffected.

  3. The theory that time travel is impossible because it would lead to logical contradictions.

  4. The belief that time travel is possible but only under certain specific conditions.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The grandfather paradox is a thought experiment in time travel that illustrates the logical contradiction that would arise if someone were to travel back in time and kill their own grandfather before they had children, thus preventing their own existence.

What is the bootstrap paradox?

  1. The idea that an object or piece of information can be sent back in time to its own past, creating a closed loop.

  2. The notion that time travel can be used to change the past and create a better future.

  3. The theory that time travel is impossible because it would violate the laws of causality.

  4. The belief that time travel is possible but only if certain paradoxes can be avoided.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The bootstrap paradox is a type of time travel paradox that occurs when an object or piece of information is sent back in time to its own past, creating a closed loop in which the object or information appears to have always existed.

What is the Novikov self-consistency principle?

  1. The theory that time travel is impossible because it would lead to logical contradictions.

  2. The idea that any changes made to the past will automatically be undone, preserving the original timeline.

  3. The notion that time travelers can only observe the past and cannot interact with it.

  4. The belief that time travel is possible but only if certain paradoxes can be avoided.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Novikov self-consistency principle is a theory in time travel that proposes that any changes made to the past will automatically be undone, ensuring that the original timeline is preserved.

What is the Many-Worlds interpretation of time travel?

  1. The idea that time travel creates alternate timelines, each with its own unique history and events.

  2. The notion that time travel is impossible because it would violate the laws of physics.

  3. The theory that time travel is possible but only if certain paradoxes can be avoided.

  4. The belief that time travel is possible and that it can be used to change the past.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Many-Worlds interpretation of time travel suggests that when a time traveler makes a choice or takes an action, it creates a new timeline in which that choice or action was made, while the original timeline continues to exist unaffected.

What is the Closed Timelike Curve (CTC) hypothesis?

  1. The theory that time travel is impossible because it would lead to logical contradictions.

  2. The idea that time travel is possible but only if certain paradoxes can be avoided.

  3. The notion that time travel can be used to change the past and create a better future.

  4. The belief that time travel is possible and that it can be used to create closed loops in spacetime.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Closed Timelike Curve (CTC) hypothesis proposes that it is possible for a spacetime path to loop back on itself, creating a closed loop in which events can occur in a non-chronological order.

What is the grandfather paradox in the context of time travel?

  1. The idea that traveling back in time and killing your own grandfather would prevent your own existence.

  2. The notion that changing the past would create an alternate timeline, leaving the original timeline unaffected.
