Is Time Travel Possible? Tipler Cylinder - Every Think Part 1 of 3

The video explores the concept of time travel, discussing how traveling into the future is theoretically possible by approaching the speed of light or being near massive objects like black holes. It introduces a fictional device called the 'backup time Transport' and humorously explores its workings. The video delves into the Tipler Cylinder theory, which suggests a massive rotating cylinder could allow backward time travel. However, it highlights the challenges, such as the need for infinite length or negative energy, which are not feasible with current scientific understanding.
