Time Travel without Causal Loops
My thesis is that backwards time travel can occur without causal loops. Specifically, I shall show that assuming that backwards time travel (‘time travel’ for short) is logically possible, it is logically possible to have a world where time travel occurs and yet no causal loops occur. To formulate this thesis more precisely, I need to distinguish two types of causal loops, closed and open causa...
متن کاملForbidden Time Travel: Characterization of Time-Consistent Tree Reconciliation Maps
Motivation: In the absence of horizontal gene transfer it is possible to reconstruct the historyof gene families from empirically determined orthology relations, which are equivalent to event-labeled gene trees. Knowledge of the event labels considerably simplifies the problem of recon-ciling a gene tree T with a species trees S, relative to the reconciliation problem without prior<...
متن کاملCausal Loops
Causal loops are loops in cause-effect chains: An effect can be the cause of that effect’s cause. We show that causal loops can be unproblematic, and explore them from different points of view. This thesis is motivated by quantum theory, general relativity, and quantum gravity. By accepting all of quantum theory one can ask whether the possibility to take superpositions extends to causal struct...
متن کاملUncertainty loops in travel-time tomography from nonlinear wave physics.
Estimating image uncertainty is fundamental to guiding the interpretation of geoscientific tomographic maps. We reveal novel uncertainty topologies (loops) which indicate that while the speeds of both low- and high-velocity anomalies may be well constrained, their locations tend to remain uncertain. The effect is widespread: loops dominate around a third of United Kingdom Love wave tomographic ...
متن کاملCausal-Consistent Reversible Debugging
Reversible debugging provides developers with a way to execute their applications both forward and backward, seeking the cause of an unexpected or undesired event. In a concurrent setting, reversing actions in the exact reverse order in which they have been executed may lead to undo many actions that were not related to the bug under analysis. On the other hand, undoing actions in some order th...
