Time Travel’s Unpleasant Side Effect: Memory Loss

 Imagine that you had the ability to travel back in time. But when you returned to the present, you found that you could not remember anything about it. Physicists believe that this is a real consequence that time travelers may face.

The study was published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, as reported by Interesting Engineering.

While most research has focused on the mechanics of time travel, little attention has been given to its effects on the traveler. The new study suggests that journeying through time could come with unusual side effects—most notably, the loss of all memories from the trip.

Researchers believe this phenomenon is tied to the concept of a “closed timelike curve” (CTC), a feature of Einstein’s general theory of relativity....<<<Read More>>>...
