Tobar and his professor Fabio Costa, quoting popular mechanics. The math itself is complex,

but it boils down to something fairly simple. Time travel discussion focuses on closed time-like

curves, or CTCs, something Albert Einstein first posited. And Tobar and Costa say that as long as just two pieces of an entire scenario within a CTC

are still in causal order when you leave, the rest is subject to local free will.

1:56.8

Our results show that CTCs are not only compatible with determinism and with the local free choice of operations,
