“Time travel will eventually become scientifically possible”
Agree
- Physics doesn't completely rule it out
- Technology always exceeds past imagination
- Wormholes might provide a mechanism
- Quantum effects suggest weird possibilities
- General relativity allows for it theoretically
Disagree
- Causality paradoxes make it impossible
- No evidence anyone from future visited
- Laws of thermodynamics forbid it
- Just because we imagine it doesn't make it possible
- Energy requirements would be astronomical
