For ages I’ve been thinking about doing a video analyzing time travel in fiction and doing a comparison of different fictional time travels - some do use wormholes, some relativistic/faster than light travel with time dilation, some closed timelike curves, some have essentially “magic” or no consistent rules that make any sense, or TARDIS's, or whatever. This video is an explanation of how time travel functions in different popular movies, books, & shows - not how it works “under the hood", but how it causally affects the perspective of characters’ timelines (who has free will? can you change things by going back to the past or forwards into the future?). In particular, I explain Ender's Game, Planet of the Apes, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Primer, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Back to the Future, Groundhog Day, Looper, the video game “Braid”, and Lifeline.

That's probably because paradoxes aren't really interesting when you're analysing time travel like this video does. The video is about how time travel DOES work (within these fictional worlds), not about how it doesn't work. Often, time travel paradoxes as they exist in fiction are the result of mistakes by the author, not by the maybe inherently flawed nature of time travel.

John Pertwee demonstrating his vast intelligence by drawing circuit diagrams (and reversing the polarity of the neutron field) now seems very '70s. I'm still waiting for the companion who's never seen a time machine before so just assumes that they're _all_ bigger on the inside.

And before anyone says that the fact that events were predetermined showed that the past could never be changed, it's not like there haven't been other forms of fiction where you could both change the past and not.

Doctor is very occasionally logically consistent, with future selves being already present with selves, but mostly each jump alters the timeline and creates a new path. I think the new conceit is that the Doctor, and the TARDIS start from a place outside of the timeline, meaning there should be no possible for the Doctor to influence their own timeline, except when they do. The doctor's companions get imbued with a quasi-timeless state while traveling with the Doctor

One of my favorite examples of time travel, and in my opinion the best example of time travel, comes from Steins;Gate. There are three methods of time travel in Steins;Gate: D-Mail, Time Leaping, and physical time travel. With a D-Mail, you send a text message through time, which has the possibility of changing the past. If the change isn't big enough, then functionally nothing will change (for instance, if the thing you tell someone to do is minor or if they just ignore the text), but if it's big enough, you can change a lot. This is a large part of the plot, the characters sending text messages to the past and it enacts huge changes. For instance, in the story, someone plans to leave, and you send a D-Mail to them telling them to stay, and they will which causes massive changes. Nobody remembers anything from a D-Mail except for the protagonist Okabe. With Time Leaping, you mentally jump back into your past body from the future. You can only jump back 72 hours, and obviously because of this restriction you can only jump back three days before the machine was created. The person who uses the machine remembers everything, and the timeline changes just by virtue of your future knowledge. If someone other than Okabe were to use it, however, Okabe wouldn't notice any timeline change under normal circumstances, unless whoever it was did something so big that it forced the timeline to change. But time leaping itself wouldn't cause the timeline to change on its own, it's what the Leaper does with the future information that would cause it to change, With physical time travel, it's exactly what it sounds like. You travel back with your physical body. No changes are enacted on the timeline because the timeline already takes into account the fact that you have/will travel back in time, like Harry Potter. All of this revolves around the Worldline system. Every change made to the timeline takes them to a different Worldline. These Worldlines are shown on a little device that shows you exactly what Worldline you're in, but for the most part only the numbers after the decimal point change. To change the ones place of the device, that requires an absolutely massive change, one large enough to change the entire trajectory of the world. However, the worldlines revolve around several points that happen no matter what. No matter what you change, no matter how you turn back time, there are several points in history that will always happen no matter what. The main plot of the story is that one of the characters is fated to die by the worldline, and Okabe's attempts to save this person's life in the completely fucked up timeline that he inadvertently made, requiring him to revert every change he made in the story. Fate literally contrives this persons death. Even if Okabe does everything perfectly and gets this person in a position where they cannot possibly die even by mistake, they'll just drop dead with no discernable reason. It's SUCH a good example of time travel, and it manages to prevent paradoxes perfectly by just saying "It's another Worldline!".

The game Outer Wilds has probably my favourite depiction of time travel ive seen recently (huge spoilers, go play the game first) Similarly to Groundhog Day, the main character seemingly relives the exact same 22 minutes over and over again, retaining all their memories of past loops. We find out later in the game that there is effectively a time machine linked to the main characters brain that is repeatedly sending our own memories back in time 22 minutes to their past self, creating the illusion of a time loop where in reality they have consious memories of things they have not done yet.

It's also equally interesting in the Harry Potter type time travel, that the time traveler effectively has no free will over whether they will commit to the time travel or not. It is their fate no matter their conscious thoughts, they will perform the action. And that also ties in well with the HP universe's use of prophecies, which also imply that free will to a certain extend is blurred. Potentially free will exists, but all thoughts and decisions will still lead to the same outcome - like throwing a stick in a stream - Its path down the stream may be random, but it is a certainty that it will flow down through it one way or another. It is confined chaos.

My favorite time travel is from The Five Kingdoms series by Brandon Mull. After traveling back in time, you’ll find that the thing you thought you’d changed had actually always happened. In other words, it’s like Harry Potter’s time travel, except with one key distinction: you cannot travel to a time when you already existed, meaning that you can’t travel to the same time twice and can’t travel to any time that you were already born.

Actually, the harry potter doesn't have logical consistency. It's sort of a reverse grandfather paradox. How can his future self save his past self? If he wasn't there to save himself, he would have been dead, and if he was dead, he wouldn't have been able to save himself in the future. It is within the same timeline though, so, at least it's chronologically consistent, but harry potter has magic, so, I guess there isn't much point in trying to think about logic.

One great example of time travel in fiction I really like is The Fifty Year Night from Hilda, where changes in the past doesn't create new timelines but rather change the current and only one proceeded by a time worm chasing any leftover from the "original" timeline, including the original characters who did time travel so the "new timeline" can exist without paradoxes such as two of the same person. It's such a chaotic and kinda logical/magical way to see time travel and I love it.

I personally love the time travel mechanics of Homestuck. It follows the self-consistent loop principle to such a degree, that free will is _theoretically_ preserved, but deviations from the basically predetermined actions result in a branching of the time line and the new branch subsequently becoming 'doomed'. This means that the extremely intricate web of interwoven time loops which in the Alpha time line resulted in the creation of the universe and these loops is disrupted so that it _doesn't_ result in its own existence. So the doomed branch gradually fades away, in almost every case accompanied by everything going wrong and everyone dying one way or another until reality itself dies. Of course, this gets wildly more complicated as soon as alternate universes and other shenanigans come into the mix, but that is the gist of it.

the "no free will" point about Harry Potter is exemplified perfectly in the movie when, without any explanation or discussion, Hermione suddenly grabs the pebbles that she throws through the window of Hagrid's house. While it could be said that she would've reasoned out a solution to cause their past selves to leave the house regardless, it could alternatively be said that she had that "Eureka moment" BECAUSE she had already seen the results of it in her personal history (the vase breaking). It's utterly brilliant, and surprisingly, it's also completely realistic. According to the Novikov self-consistency principle (as described by Wikipedia; academic discretion is advised) "if an event exists that would cause a paradox or any "change" to the past whatsoever, then the probability of that event is zero". In other words, you travel to the past because you traveled to the past and you do what you already did, and no more (nor less)
@ari54x
@ari54x 3 жыл бұрын
It's less "no free will" and more "deterministic, single-timeline time travel." Hermione still decides to throw the pebbles- but she does so because she's worked out in the moment that this is what saves her in the past, and anyone in Hermione's particular set of circumstances at that moment would have done the same. Likewise with Harry having the confidence to cast a fiendishly difficult spell because he *already knows he did it.*

@@ari54x It's not just no free will, it's no will at all. No conscious. In the movies, everything happened already. In the present the stone has to fly perfectly into the vase. Someone with free will or even "non-deterministic" abilities could have missed. But if you think about that... you will notice that when things have already happened, not just the person going back in time has no free will, also the person in the present has no free will, since the person will have to use the time machine at the perfect time in the future and everything must go according to plan. Actually, no one around has free will... because if they acted differently, just a tiny bit, maybe things would go otherwise and we got a paradox. Then there is the problem of: Who decided that he or she wants to use the time machine? It's already happened, they have to use it. So basically, someone in the future must have decided that. Here we arrive at the bootstrap problem. So it must be "fate". Fate decides that something happens. Again, no free will here, folks. This is a major problem. On the last part I'm not sure (I don't know the full movie), but from what I've read, it's also not really single-timeline. It's infinite timelines. When Hermione throws the stone, they are the future, but there is again another version, that is the past, which is the future to come. After them, there has to be another version, which is the future to come and so on.

@Klog GM none of this is a problem from a deterministic point of view, the loop happens exactly the same way whether you're on the pre-time travel part of it or the post-travel one. Harry casts his spell because his memory of being saved and realization he's the one who resembles his father makes him confident enough to do it, because that is the best choice a person with his temperament, memories, and body would make under those circumstances. The 'loop' is pulled off because they were always inclined to make the right choices to pull it off, not because they coincidentally choose the same things every time. This is exactly how we would expect time travel without parallel dimensions to work, in a deterministic universe. (which afaik all evidence points to our actual universe being) A person inclined to be discovered by returning late or to die after travelling back in time wouldn't make a loop where their 'future' self replaces the past self. They'd just die after rewinding, instead.

Check out Steins;Gate, a Japanese Anime, which, in my opinion, provides a very different method of time travel, by adding another dimension to it altogether (No spoilers here). Other than that, it maintains causality, and the act of time travel along with the flow of the present itself, creates the future, hence, time travel becomes necessary to preserve the sequence of events, just like in Harry Potter 3. Definitely worth watching.

@@mia-paris5533 it's interesting because it underscores the whole problem with time travel. If at point A your partner dies, you decide, I'm going to go back in time to point A and prevent that from happening. But there's a problem. The thing that caused you to go back in time was your partners death. If you go back in time and fix it, now the event that caused you to go back in time... never happened, because you've fixed it. You understand? Prisoner of Azkaban leaves it as a paradox. Did buckbeak die the first time they lived through the event when the "thud" is heard of the axe? Or was that the executioner throwing down his axe in frustration? Harry and Hermione certainly assumed buckbeak had died, which is why they went back in time to fix it. But did he really die? Or had that event been fixed by their future selves already as they lived through it the first time? It's a way cool interpretation of backwards timetravel and excellent writing.

It's stupid, imo. It's a paradoxical situation. In order to be able to travel back in time to save yourself, you can't have depended on yourself to save you. You have to get out of the situation first in order to get to the point where you could travel in time. Like, you can't depend on your future self to save you... If you don't have a future. Basically, since Harry and company couldn't get out of that situation without their future selves intervening, then they can't get to the time traveling method in the first place on their own. Therefore, they should all have died. A fixed time loop is one thing, but you can't just avert your own death in the past! Someone else has to do it because you won't be able to go back in time and save yourself! It's downright moronic, tbh.

Its kinda covered in the bit where they go through the ministry of magic time room, they only have so much of that sand, and presumably they use it exceedingly sparingly. Likely they *were* doing all sorts of stuff to change the "past" but nobody ever knew because that was already the world they lived in, where all that stuff already happened, all the stuff they made sure happened they just made sure to make sure that they went to make sure it happened. Like, voldemort didnt win. How many pin dancing angels were involved in making sure that happened? the world may never know, because it happens off screen, and probably for the best too. The series also has prophecy, so in some sense... theyre not constrained to retroactive time manipulation, they can manipulate time proactively as well, they just are very careful about what they do. We may never know how many times they sat in a blank room thinking up ideas and then slapping a button to see what the prophecy machine says the future would be, then going "man, that was a dumb idea, we all get nuked!" and then think up a different idea. I mean, with time turner consistent time travel, any time they actually needed advice from the future, one of them could just spontaneously appear and give them a note with the details, and problem solved, they then know that they have to go back and give themselves a note that its a dumb idea, regardless of if the dumb idea even happens... obviously if they tell themselves its a dumb idea its a dumb idea. I realize thats a bit circular but... thats how its always going to be when we deeply analyze unlimited time travel. Bootstrap paradoxes everywhere. Despite the fact that the ministry of magic is portrayed to the child audience as a bumbling pile of adult idiots manipulated by evil, there is far more politics and competence there than we ever see, simply because they are off screen and we are unaware of their actions. Also, dont forget in that same lab they casually have like... a gate to death? a passage to the literal afterlife, where all the non haunting ghosts hang out? i mean, who knows how many virtual war criminals they just yeeted through that thing, huh? They had time, space, death, i forget what the others were, but they had so many ancient magical artifacts down there that it is very likely stuff happened off screen we never knew about. Probably for the best.

Steins gate and donnie darko are probably some of the most interesting pop-media timetravel options to discuss. Donnie darko uses a tangent universe to travel time, effectively you travel in sace and/or time, but there needs to be a universe that is locally tangent in space or time. And steins gate opens the flood gates into the concept of converging and diverging time lines, relying on the similarity requirement to make time travel possible. Effectively saying time is constantly moving forward but there are infinite universes. Similar timelines are jumpable, but universes have become samples from a "random field" effectively allowing both determinism to exist from a single point of reference (such as the main character) but from the view of all timelines it is completely stochastic. Both are extremely interesting concepts, and rely on physics to a lesser degree than enders game, but way more than any other film/book/show i have seen so far.

The main character, Max, can reverse time yet she stays in the exact place she just was while the world around her goes back to how it was. For instance, in one of the scenes, she and Chloe are breaking into the principals office and trigger the alarm, Max rewinds time to when Chloe was still outside but Max was still in the office.

Great video. And I agree. I also like the Harry Potter version of time travel where, if you went back in time, you have always been there. I recall this as being the version of time travel employed on the TV series "Lost." Indeed, one episode from the fifth season even has the title which sums this up nicely: "Whatever Happened, Happened."

the thing with back to the future is that it's nominally about time travel, but it's also subtly about parallel dimensions, or more to the point, about traveling through parallel dimensional planes via time travel(though it isn't treated that way within universe). It's not deterministic, but it *is* consistent within the rules it creates for time travel. by the way, it's not precisely about time travel, but there's a movie that came out a few years back about a camera that took pictures from the future. the characters tried to change the future by making sure that the photos couldn't possibly exist via altering what was visible in the camera's lense. it was actually really interesting, you might like it.

The original Terminator was a good example of the "self-fulfilling prophecy" type of time travel where the events that take place were exactly what happened the "first time". I also like this type the best. The reason I don't like the ones where you can make changes as much is because it's too easy to fall into a paradox if a writer isn't careful. For example, if your future self goes back to stop yourself from taking a certain road to work. But if you were forced to take the alternate route without anyone knowledge about it then you aren't going to know to go back in time the "second time" to alter the path. So now it's a paradox.

Yes, but you can still make it work even with the mess of the sequels. The tl;dr of my fantheory is: the version of how Skynet turned on humanity we heard from Reese _is_ accurate.... for the True Original. _But,_ the version they fought and won against just before the movie is _not_ Skynet 1.0. I like to point out that Skynet does seem more and more pre-emptively Evil with each new iteration we get of him: also smarter, more proactive, more creative, more advanced (as it's written up to catch up with real world technology, and the film's CGI budget). The version we heard about in the first place sounded like AI that just didn't have proper Oth Law coding/education, if he ever got some version of the 3 Laws of Robotics in the first place. Another thing I can't seem to re-find was a note from James Cameron, saying there's a version of Skynet that _won..._ and feels *remorse.* The rest of my fantheory is that this remorseful version of Skynet _is,_ in fact, the True Original. It doesn't have the emotional baggage of aggression, contempt and hate that, for example, the 11th Doctor version of Skynet displayed. So to complete my theory: the time war has been going on for *many* cycles _before_ the first movie, and that the True Original Skynet is the manipulator behind all of the Time Wars, with the goal of _helping_ humanity... or at least making sure we always have at least a fighting chance (it can't openly act, because it knows his later iterations are too powerful and in greater numbers for him to do so; or maybe it's too "far" away from how many cycles have occurred to directly do anything anymore). The most canon thing I can find to back this up? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7uBgqyfvLfKdIE.html Pretty good match.

So my only issue with that kind of time travel is cases where the person going back saves themselves in the past. Harry Potter is probably the most simple example of my point. Future Harry saves Past Harry (and friends) from the dementors and ultimately allows Past Harry to become Future Harry and keep the loop alive. But how did Future Harry exist in the first place since, without him, Past Harry dies and is never able to become Future Harry. The time travel at the end of Interstellar is a similar yet grander example (future human race saving itself in the past). All of that said, I too prefer the kind of time travel where the past can't be changed, but it's also not without the potential for paradoxes.

The simple answer is there no original point where there was never two Harry’s because they can’t change the past with these timeturners is harry the very first as you called it was saved by himself because so the question how did past harry survive to become future harry was always future harry Like the reason they don’t get caught by the minister and co before Sirius even steps in to capture Peter is because of their past selves and it is what stoped werewolf lupin from killing them and the dementors from killing harry always has been that way, the future is just as fixed as the past, this Harry Potter time travel is also the same as what accurate prophecies when you can’t change them, like in the matrix, you have already made the choice now you have to understand it and no one can see past a choice they don’t understand Aka all the future choices have already been made you have just yet to make them and so the future is unchangeable just like the past because all the choices that made the world like that have already been made

This is in Primer too, but Primer takes it to an extreme and makes it nightmare where time travel overlaps over time travel and you have no idea what's going on anymore, though it seems quite clearly that there IS logic to it. It's just a twisted mess that we only get to see from one perspective. People start showing up who they never even told about the time travel device in the first place. So there's some nightmare of other timelines taking place. It's not a normal story movie, it's a realization of a concept that is fascinating.

I like the time travel in Dragon Ball, where the act of time traveling creates an alternate universe/timeline. The time traveler can change the new timeline in anyway they want, but when they return to their timeline nothing is changed. The time traveler can create a better world for an alternate version of themself and their friends, but they can’t experience the better world for themself. I think it is very tragic but makes sense.

There's a plot hole though in how Trunks can choose which timeline he jumps to. For example, the first time he goes, there's only one option. Then he returns to the future (for some reason? Why didn't he stay and help them train?). And the second time he time travels, he ends up in that same timeline, as opposed to landing in his own original timeline. Imagine he shows up in his original timeline and there's no #19 or Dr. Gero, just #17 and #18 killing everyone, and no one knows who Trunks is because they've never met him. Then there's the Trunks that Imperfect Cell kills. When was that timeline created?

@@iRazenrak Here's how I think it worked for DBZ (never watched Buu Saga or the new series, so may have retconned after DBZ Kai aired) Basically, "the" trunks and "the" cell comes from different timelines, or least Cell come from Trunk's own future, so by interfering with a past Trunk, he changed this Trunk's future and affected his own past. Cell made the strategic mistake of revealing too much about himself. He was so sure of succeeding that he didn't thought about blewing his future chances. (DBZ Androids arc) 1) In the future, Androids destroy the world (and Cell is dormant) 2) Trunks go to the past to warn about androids, and accidentally cause changes to the timelines, androids become nicer 3) Trunks go back then return 3y later to fight androids in the past, due to previous timeline changes the android revolution only happens later and androids are nicer (Cell's backstory) 4a) Initally, Trunks return after the victory, and as he got stronger in the past he's able to destroy the meaner androids 5a) Cell awakes and can't find androids, he attack trunks to take his time machine 6a) Cell Stage 1 is able to take Trunks in a surprise 1v1, Trunks is killed and Cell go back to the past (DBZ Cell arc) 4) (Offscreen) Because cell couldn't fit in the machine, he arrives as a larval stage years before the awakening of androids. By the time Trunks reappears, that machine is rusted and Cell ready to intervene 5) Cell explains his backstory, revealing that he's a dormant lifeform that will, one day, kill Trunks and take his time machine 6) Both sides increase their power for the upcoming 1vsMany fight. As a safety measure, this timeline destroys the lab to avoid creating another time loop in the future. 7) Cell's intervention changes the timeline again and ends with his death, the discovery of the SSJ2 state etc. (DBZ arc epilogue) 8) Trunks return after the victory, and as he got stronger in the past he's able to destroy the meaner androids 9) Cell awakes and can't find android, he attack trunks to take his time machine 10) Trunks trained because of Cell Stage 3 and expects an attack. Cell is unable to keep up with a fighter who trained against his "future self" and ends killed.

The problem with time travel is that space is associated with time. For example, the solar system is going around the Milky Way galaxy at 1 million miles per hour, so what happened an hour ago took place a million miles away, and what happened one day ago took place 24 million miles away, etc....So if you travelled backwards in time you would also have to travel to the exact same point in space.

It's utterly ridiculous how potterheads defended at all cost how Time Turners can only establish predeterministic time loops and that's why Dumbledore cannot catch Pettigrew in rat form after he escapes, and then throw everything out of the window when the Cursed Child came out. Harry Potter is really an overrated piece of work as its author cannot even keep her rules of magic consistent, and instead makes up and discards new elements that are super broken whenever the plot demands. Seriously. Time machine, lucky potion, the unbreaky promise of death? All made up and discarded in the same book and never seen again (or in case of the Time Turner, has its rules violated complete when seen again).

I think one of the best time traveling devices is the one in Stephen King's book "11/22/63". In it, there can only be one time line. If you travel back in time and change something, when you return to the present, the effects of what you did take effect and you change the present. But if you travel back again to change something else, now everything you did in the previous travel didn't happen so now only what you change this time will take effect. Another cool thing about it is, that if you want to change small things that won't really affect the world (like going back in time to watch Star Wars when it came out, and then coming back to the present), it would be very easy to do. But if you want to change something major (like killing your father and prevent yourself from ever being born), somehow you will find lot's of hardships to do so (like your gun always jams when you go to kill your father, or you get hit by car on the way to kill him, stuff like that). That way, no time travel can "accidentally change the past". You must actively want to do it. And even then, when you change things, the world sometimes mend's it to go back to the normal timeline (like if you somehow manage to kill your father after many trials, you don't disappear because actually your mom was fucking the mail man and you were never your fathers son)

I like the idea that time travel doesn't "create" alternate timelines; all timelines already exist, but by traveling back in time, you're actually switching to a timeline where that is what happened. So you can never change a timeline, but you can change the timeline that you're in. If by some chance you merely go back on the same timeline, then things will progress as before, like in the Harry Potter example.

@@dereenaldoambun9158 This is interesting to me. What option the protagonist is consciously acting in isn’t /created/ but isn’t it effectively created? If everything we could do has a path that stems from it, and all those paths exist, then isn’t choosing to move from one path to another free will? More interesting to me would be if the protagonist in another path also wanted to time travel and in some way took over the protagonist role from the protagonist or caused them issues they had to grapple with

@@Semiotichazey But that's arbitrary because if there a few deviations it means there are the potential for infinite deviations, which involving chaos theory becomes so convoluted there's no point in distinguishing between a few options or ad infinitum. That's why the conversation about Harry Potter's version of time travel is about it being a SINGULAR timeline, because if you allow the potential for variation it will infinitely diverge.

My favorite time travel method was brought up in the Dean Koontz book of "Lightning". Time travel, but only to the Future, and back to your "present", but never to the Past.

In my opinion, Bill & Ted's style of time travel is identical to Harry Poter's style where the "Time traveling clone" has the same past experience as the original one. Also, I'd like to reference the "Johnny Maxwell" book series where each instance you travel, you can change the way everything works.

Time travel is honestly a really complicated subject, I'm glad there's someone else who thought about this. Something I'm still wondering about is paradoxes and relating. Such as, if you invent a time machine and give it to yourself in the past before you invented it, you probably won't give it to yourself, so you don't have a time machine in the past because your motive is gone. If you do happen to get in a paradox, does time stop, do you disappear, or does the universe somehow fix your paradoxical problem? If it does, does it simply remove you from existence? Create a branching path in time? Anyways, let me wrap up. You create incredible videos, and I'm glad someone else thinks about this stuff.

It's a recognised paradox, usually with the following similar example: You wake up in the night to see a portal at the end of your bed. A version of you, but much older, leans through the portal and hands you a tattered notebook and the portal closes. You read the notebook and find it contains full instructions on how to build a time machine. Anticipating the job ahead, you copy notebook into a fresh new one and use it over the next 20 years to complete the time machine. With the machine completed, you recall the night you saw the portal and finally understand. Your first use of the machine is to create a portal back to your bedroom 20 years ago. You lean out to your younger self, and pass him the now tattered notebook. The cycle repeats. But wait, where did the FIRST notebook come from? Which "version" of you wrote the original plans, built the original machine, opened the very first portal that began the now infinite loop of notebooks?
