I've been talking and thinking a lot about time travel, and whenever something takes up this much space in my brain, I like to come up with papers I could write, if I were still being actively academic. Here's twelve papers about time travel:
- Closed-loop family trees: The time traveler and the threat of becoming your own ancestor
- The Terminator Syndrome: Why time travel to stop events innevitably leads to the events you want to stop
- We'll be here again fifteen minutes ago: Time-traveler tense and grammatical imperfection
- Is this all for nothing?: Time as a river, changing time as swimming against the current
- I'm supposed to be gone: James Cole, time-travel as ultimate suicide, and rebellion against the Fantastic Deathwish
- We've seen this all before: Time travel as catalyst for the Moving PreApocalypse in Terminator and 12 Monkeys
- The future isn't set: Five ways fictional works take on temporal paradox
- The temporal prime directive: How the existence of such a rule proves time is malleable and how it somehow never matters
- Time traveler's guide to reality: How to tell if you're in a single-stream reality or a branched multiverse, and what you can do about it
- I had to kill him, he was dead already: The complex moral ambiguity of the active time traveler
- But when did this start: Three ways to avoid the First Cause paradox
- Our fates are entwined: Time travel as romantic meet-cute
