Time and Travel

Seventh objection.-A thing can move back and forth in space, though it cannot do so in time.

What is time travel? Inevitably, it involves a discrepancy between time and time. Any traveller departs and then arrives at his destination; the time elapsed from departure to arrival…is the duration of the journey. But if he is a time traveller, the separation in time between departure and arrival does not equal the duration of his journey.…How can it be that the same two events, his departure and his arrival, are separated by two unequal amounts of time?

The Time Discrepancy Paradox 1)If someone travels in time, then the distance between the departure and arrival (or the order of these events) must be different from the distance between the departure and arrival (or the order of these events). 2)This is impossible. 3)It is impossible for someone to travel in time.

I reply by distinguishing time itself, external time as I shall also call it, from the personal time of a particular time traveller: roughly, that which is measured by his wristwatch. His journey takes an hour of his personal time, let us say…But the arrival is more than an hour after the departure in external time, if he travels toward the future; or the arrival is before the departure in external time…if he travels toward the past.

External time is an assignment of coordinates that matches the objective temporal relations between events. Personal time is an assignment of coordinates that matches the subjective relations between events.

The Time Discrepancy Paradox 1)If someone travels in time, then the distance between the departure and arrival (or the order of these events) must be different from the distance between the departure and arrival (or the order of these events). 2)This is impossible. 3)It is impossible for someone to travel in time.

External time is an assignment of coordinates that matches the objective temporal relations between events. Personal time is an assignment of coordinates that matches the subjective relations between events. Someone is a time traveler only if, and because, there is a discrepancy between external time and his or her personal time.
