Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. This is the second episode of a 2-part series on time travel. Today, we're looking at the history and science behind time travel. Considering how much pop culture surrounds this idea, it's a relatively new concept. OYes, there are very old stories that involve travelling through time, but the concept of actively doing so first appeared in the 19th Century. Even today, scientists discuss the possibility of time travel in a serious way. Who first wrote about time travel? What does science suggest is possible? Is there any evidence that it's possible? Was it really worth 2 parts? Listen in to find out!
