Something Disturbing Happens When You Solve Einstein's Equations This Way

Season 11 Episode 25 | 14m 42s

Gödel discovered a solution to General Relativity that actually permits time travel — no exotic physics required. His "Gödel universe" reveals that spacetime itself can loop back on itself under certain conditions, blurring the line between past and future. This exposes a startling limitation: the theory offers no guarantee of a consistent cause and effect.

Extras
The 2026 Nobel in Physics went to Dr. Halzen for turning Antarctica into a neutrino telescope.
Can adding every positive whole number really give you -1/12?
Gigantic black holes existed in a cosmic eyeblink after the Big Bang. That should be impossible.
It’s believed empty space can be crystalized and we may have observed this for the first time.
LIGO may have found an impossible black hole, hinting at primordial relics from the Big Bang.
A decade later, a leading theory may finally explain Tabby’s Star, the galaxy’s weirdest star.
DESI and DES studied dark energy. Together, what can they tell us?
Could sending a quantum twin across the galaxy make you both old and young at the same time?
It's possible that an event horizon is forming right behind and you won't know until its too late.
Are there no alien signals to find... or do we need to update how we search for them?
