Time travel is a science fiction classic. And let's be honest, we've all imagined what it would be like in reality. The fact is: theoretically, time travel is possible. In this episode, Jack Pop talks about how exactly it would be done with the two physicists Nicolas and Reinhard from the great podcast "Methodisch Inkorrekt". A huge thank you to Nicolas and Reinhard! Here you can find their podcast and their "Optically incorrect!" live streams to watch: ▸ https://minkorrekt.de/ ▸ / minkorrekt In addition to science vs. fiction, Jack Pop is also a science influencer far and wide - you can follow what exactly he is up to on Instagram: / le_jackpop Background, sources and further information about this episode: Here you can read again what time dilation is: ▸ https://www.dlr.de/next/desktopdefaul...
