Time Travel: Probability and Impossibility
Oxford, United Kingdom: Oxford University Press (2020)
Abstract
Time travel is metaphysically possible. Nikk Effingham contends that arguments for the impossibility of time travel are not sound. Focusing mainly on the Grandfather Paradox, Effingham explores the ramifications of taking this view, discusses issues in probability and decision theory, and considers the potential dangers of travelling in time.Author's Profile
