Time Travel Theories in Fiction

The video explores the concept of time travel in Game of Thrones, focusing on Bran Stark's ability to influence the past. It explains three types of time travel timelines: multiverse, dynamic, and fixed. Game of Thrones is shown to follow a fixed timeline, where changes in the past confirm the present reality, aligning with the Novikov self-consistency principle. This principle suggests that any event causing a paradox has zero probability, meaning Bran's actions in the past cannot alter the present. The video also speculates on Bran's potential influence on major events in the series.
