Back to the Future, Interstellar, The Terminator - we've all been guilty of enjoying a good time travel flick at one point or another.

Stepping beyond science fiction and fantasy, philosophers have uncovered a hidden trove of tantalising thought experiments and mind-bending paradoxes.

Tune into this episode to learn about causal loops, the Grandfather Paradox, closed timelike curves, and to investigate whether time travel really is a possibility.
