Time travel has captivated our imagination for generations, but what if it's more than just science fiction? In this mind-bending episode of Heliox, we dive deep into groundbreaking research by physicists Tobar and Costa that suggests paradox-free time travel might be possible. Their work on "Reversible Dynamics with Closed Time-Like Curves" introduces the revolutionary concept of process functions—essentially rulebooks for how information could traverse time without creating those pesky grandfather paradoxes that have long been the stumbling block for time travel theories.
From local regions of spacetime to billiard ball analogies that visualize time-traversing information, this episode takes you on an intellectual journey through the theoretical framework that could one day make time travel a reality. We explore how these theories work within classical physics before venturing into the even stranger realm of quantum mechanics, where entangled particles might someday communicate across not just space but time itself.
Whether you're a physics enthusiast or simply curious about the nature of reality, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the fabric of time. Join us as we untangle the mind-warping possibilities of a universe where the boundaries between past, present, and future might be more permeable than we ever imagined.
Reversible dynamics with closed time-like curves and freedom of choice
This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.Â

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
