Episode description

Is time travel possible? An introduction to the philosophy – not the science – of time travel, asking whether time travel can be described without contradictions. To answer the question we look at the movie Back to the Future, and the UK TV series, Doctor Who. The Grandfather paradox is also discussed: could you go back in time and kill your grandfather even before he met your grandmother?
