Difference between Time travel and Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory

Time travel vs. Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory

Time travel is the concept of movement between certain points in time, analogous to movement between different points in space by an object or a person, typically using a hypothetical device known as a time machine. The Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory (also called the Wheeler–Feynman time-symmetric theory), named after its originators, the physicists Richard Feynman and John Archibald Wheeler, is an interpretation of electrodynamics derived from the assumption that the solutions of the electromagnetic field equations must be invariant under time-reversal transformation, as are the field equations themselves.

Similarities between Time travel and Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory

Time travel and Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Causality, Causality (physics), General relativity, Mach's principle, Physical Review Letters, Quantum entanglement, Quantum field theory, Retrocausality.

Causality

Causality (also referred to as causation, or cause and effect) is what connects one process (the cause) with another process or state (the effect), where the first is partly responsible for the second, and the second is partly dependent on the first.

General relativity

General relativity (GR, also known as the general theory of relativity or GTR) is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the current description of gravitation in modern physics.

Mach's principle

In theoretical physics, particularly in discussions of gravitation theories, Mach's principle (or Mach's conjecture) is the name given by Einstein to an imprecise hypothesis often credited to the physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach.

Physical Review Letters

Physical Review Letters (PRL), established in 1958, is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that is published 52 times per year by the American Physical Society.

Quantum entanglement

Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon which occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when the particles are separated by a large distance—instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole.

Quantum field theory

In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is the theoretical framework for constructing quantum mechanical models of subatomic particles in particle physics and quasiparticles in condensed matter physics.

Retrocausality

Retrocausality or Backwards causation is a concept of cause and effect where the effect precedes its cause in time.

Time travel and Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory Comparison

Time travel has 186 relations, while Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory has 66. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 3.17% = 8 / (186 + 66).
