Scott Aaronson on How To Script a Time Travel Movie

50:29 He explains how the 2016 paper Computability Theory of Closed Timelike Curves (Scott Aaronson, Mohammad Bavarian, Toby Cubitt, Sabee Grewal, Giulio Gueltrini, Ryan O'Donnell and Marien Raat) came to be.

At 1:15:50 there is an interesting question about entropy raised by Tim Maudlin (and David Deutsch, much earlier). See Gabrielle Carcassi's Assumptions of Physics Summer School and also the recent interview with Eva Miranda on Curt Jaimungal's podcast.

1:35:59 He makes some very sane-sounding observations about Quantum Computing here. 

See John Baez on Symmetric Monoidal Categories A Rosetta Stone and Noson S. Yanofsky on Diagonalization, Fixed Points, and Self-reference.

We feature original award-winning short visual stories developed for a Sci-Fi mini-series. In the spirit of Kip Thorne's advisement in "Interstellar," Michele Reilly, lecturer in Quantum Mechanical Engineering, has her MIT students use expertise in black hole physics and quantum information theory to create imaginative worlds. Their storytelling earned the project honors at Cannes and a multitude of other international film awards. Through a faculty grant from the Center for Arts, Science & Technology, Reilly encourages students to unite technical expertise with an artistic vision, crafting creative media that interweaves open questions in science into fictional worlds. The work received international acclaim with its initial award-winning Sci-Fi mini-series called "Steeplechase." From 2016 to 2023, Reilly spearheaded breakthroughs with scientists worldwide in distributed quantum memory networks leading to advances in the technology design.
