Hi - Physics is not something I studied in school and to be fair to myself, not doing so saved me from failing the class...
Over the years, my 16 y/o son and I have watched Nova and we do some light reading on Quarks, String Theory etc. My son seems to understand things that I do not and from time to time, he shares his thoughts on "far out" things with me. The reason for my post is what my son said earlier today:
"backwards time travel is impossible because the matter you are made up of now existed in the past as a different form, so going back in time would create a time paradox"
I browsed through the forum and probably don't know where to look, but where would you suggest he look or study to further support the above or otherwise.
Thanks!
