Time Travel Possible? Physics Student's Old Hypothesis Goes Viral

Physics student Germain Tobar said in 2020 that he found the way to "square the numbers" for time travel.
Time travel remains a tantalising concept, captivating the human imagination and stirring scientific discussions. Many movies like The Terminator, Donnie Darko and Back to the Future have further piqued interest of people in the concept across the world. Theoretical physics, particularly within the framework of Einstein's general relativity, suggests that time is intertwined with space in a fabric known as spacetime. Certain solutions to Einstein's equations, such as closed time-like curves, theoretically permit time loops, enabling the possibility of time travel.
In 2020, a physics student University of Queensland in Australia, Germain Tobar, worked out how to make time travel possible, and his explanation is going viral once again.
According to Science Alert, Mr Tobar said in his hypothesis, "Classical dynamics says if you know the state of a system at a particular time, this can tell us the entire history of the system."
