  • You Zombies, Click and a Novel, 1632, Both of Which Are Available Online from Links in the Handout
    Instructor's notes to F402 Time Travel in Science Fiction Session 1 – Introduction Welcome to F402, Time Travel in Science Fiction. The objective of this course is to help you to read, understand and enjoy stories in the genre. The course is in two parts; the first is Today's lecture and discussion on the genre while the second is class discussions of two stories of opposite types. click The reading assignment consists of a short story, All You Zombies, click and a novel, 1632, both of which are available online from links in the handout. click For the convenience of those who prefer dead trees, I have listed a number of anthologies1 containing All You Zombies. Reading Assignment for Sessions 2-3 click All You Zombies is one of two tour de force stories by Robert A. Heinlein that left their mark on the genre for decades. Please read All You Zombies prior to the next session click and 1632 click click Part One, chapters 1-14 prior to the third session. Esc Session 1 Keep in mind that science fiction is a branch of literature, so the normal criteria of, e.g., characterization, consistency, continuity, plot structure, style, apply; I welcome comments, especially from those who have expertise in those areas. In addition, while a science fiction author must rely on the willing suspension of disbelief, he should do so sparingly. There is a lapse of continuity in 1632 between chapters 8 and 9; see whether you can spot it. I will suggest specific discussion points to start each discussion, but please bring up any other issues that you believe to be important or interesting.

Introduction Time is mysterious. Philosophers and scientists have pondered the question of what time might be for centuries and yet till this day, we don’t know what it is. Everyone talks about time, in fact, it’s the most common noun per the Oxford Dictionary. It’s in everything from history to music to culture. Despite time’s mysterious nature there are a lot of things that we can discuss in a logical manner. Time travel on the other hand is even more mysterious.

  • Lecture 40: Science Fact Or Science Fiction? Time Travel
    Lecture 40: Science Fact or Science Fiction? Time Travel Key Ideas Travel into the future: Permitted by General Relativity Relativistic starships or strong gravitation Travel back to the past Might be possible with stable wormholes The Grandfather Paradox Hawking’s Chronology Protection Conjecture Into the future…. We are traveling into the future right now without trying very hard. Can we get there faster? What if you want to celebrate New Years in 3000? Simple: slow your clock down relative to the clocks around you. This is permitted by Special and General Relativity Accelerated Clocks According to General Relativity Accelerated clocks run at a slower rate than a clock moving with uniform velocity Choice of accelerated reference frames: Starship accelerated to relativistic (near-light) speeds Close proximity to a very strongly gravitating body (e.g. black holes) A Journey to the Galactic Center Jane is 20, Dick is 22. Jane is in charge of Mission Control. Dick flies to the Galactic Center, 8 kpc away: Accelerates at 1g half-way then Decelerates at 1g rest of the way Studies the Galactic Center for 1 year, then Returns to Earth by the same route Planet of the Warthogs As measured by Dick’s accelerated clock: Round trip (including 1 year of study) takes ~42 years He return at age 22+42=64 years old Meanwhile back on Earth: Dick’s trip takes ~52,000 yrs Jane died long, long ago After a nuclear war, humans have been replaced by sentient warthogs as the dominant species Advantages to taking Astro 162 Dick was smart and took Astro 162 Dick knew about accelerating clocks running slow, and so he could conclude “Ah, there’s been a nuclear war and humans have been replaced by warthogs”.

  • Wormholes and Einstein
    / ATHANASSIOS KALIUDIS 60 years of lasers: Wormholes and Einstein Or why it’s better not to voyage into the past The laser was invented 60 years ago, which sounds like an eternity to me. I can’t remember that far back, because I wasn’t born yet and nor were my parents. But I work with lasers every day, all day long, so I know almost everything about that time. Well, “everything” books and biographies and articles. I would have loved to have been a lab assistant there in 1960 when American physicist Theodore Maiman demonstrated the first operable laser. He saw with his own eyes that the light beam behaved in exactly the same way that Albert Einstein had described in his theory of stimulated emission more than 40 years earlier If I could travel back in time, I would tell Maiman about all the amazing things we can do with lasers now. I would reassure him that he was right, and that we have found countless applications for what his critics called a “solution looking for a problem. If I could travel back in time, I would tell Maiman about all the amazing » things we can do with lasers now. Athanassios Kaliudis, Spokesperson laser technology at TRUMPF But how do I become a time traveler? This dream of humankind has been the subject of hundreds of books and movies and TV series, proposing all imaginable ways of traveling through time. The problem is, they all belong to the realm of science fiction. So tough luck, Kaliudis, you can’t tell Maiman what a brilliant invention the laser turned out to be.

Major center for research in string theory. Goal: To understand how Einstein’s theory predicts worm holes and time machines and how we need a theory of quantum gravity to understand if those are really possible. Backstory: Sagan/Thorne CONTACT Sagan wanted “connection” through Einstein-Rosen Bridge U1 U2 Thorne - Jodie Foster will die a screaming death by noodleization in singularity - no good. He worked out a new theory. Could open a “mouth” to make a worm hole, but would be unstable, would slam shut. In principle, could stabilize with “Exotic Matter,” anti-gravity stuff like Dark Energy. Not ruled out by physics - good enough for Sagan, book and film Discussion Point: What would it look like to go into a worm hole? 2D Analogy - Embedding Diagram Can go “through” Fig 13.2 Fig wormhole, but also once deep inside can turn “sideways,” parallel propagate - return to point of origin Figure 13.1 In principle, a light beam would travel “around” the interior of a worm hole. You could also see through the wormhole. One Minute Exam If I flew straight into a worm hole and once inside turned at 90 degrees and kept flying as straight as I could, I would Emerge from the other mouth of the worm hole Run into myself Be in hyperspace return to the point where I made the turn The mouth of a worm hole would be a 3D “object,” the space inside highly curved.
