The TARDIS time machine

a basic schematic spacetime diagram of how the TARDIS works.
Traversable Achronal Retrograde Domain In Spacetime.
it’s a more descriptive acronym than “time and relative dimension in space”
The TARDIS is a time and space machine that Dave and I have been working on since january. I was trying to make Alcubierre warp bubbles go in a circle and it didn’t work so I made this instead. It’s a bubble in spacetime that goes along a closed loop in spacetime. here’s the cool bit. while it is going BACKWARDS in time, the arrow of time inside the bubble is opposite that of the arrow of time outside the bubble.
Time inside the bubble goes backwards sometimes.
Anyway it’s pretty fun.
So the deal is that I’m going to try to publish the paper. So the actual paper is a little bit technical. You need to say a lot of jargon to make people realize that you’re not a crackpot. Ironically.
Anyway, for everyone else who wants to know about this thing, We’ve written a “white paper”… a little review paper that tells you the background and summarizes the results. It’s super fun. We talk about all sorts of background information and als
o there are a lot of fun diagrams.
So check out our review article: “THE BLUE BOX WHITE PAPER“.
