Theoretical physicists have a lot in common with lawyers.
Frolov, Krtouš, and Zelnikov's time warp proposal involves what's known as a ring wormhole,
by the University of Cambridge theoretical physicist Gary Gibbons and University of Tours physicist Mikhail Volkov., the ring wormhole proposed by Gibbons and Volkov connects patches of the Universe that are what we call flat. Considering interactions of electrical and magnetic fields called duality rotations and applying some choice transformations, ring-shaped masses could create some interesting distortions in what would otherwise be flat spacetime.Frolov, Krtouš, and Zelnikov took this hole and ran it through different scenarios. Like, what effect might another, non-moving mass have on the ring? And what if the entry ring and exit ring are in the same universe?.
Before you pack for a paradoxical round trip to the future and back, many obstacles could easily prevent such a loop. The late physicistBut who knows? With the right kind of cosmic lawyer, we just might be able to appeal our sentence of a one-way trip into the future with a bit of help from a massive pair of rings.
