In other words, a closed timelike curve is the mathematical result of physics equations that allows for time travel to the past.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2019\/11\/theoretical-physicist-explores-real-world-time-travel-possibilities\">Continue reading \u201cTheoretical Physicist Explores Real World Time Travel Possibilities\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ira Pastor, ideaXme exponential health ambassador, interviews Dr. Ronald Mallett, Professor Emeritus, Theoretical Physics, Department of Physics at the University of Connecticut.
