Matt Smith Quotes

Time travel is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Once the notion of time travel starts to come naturally to the human mind, it is supremely easy to assimilate it into our mode of thinking.

Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.'

I think the idea of time travel is very seductive.

The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.

Time travel may be achieved one day, or it may not. But if it is, it should not require any fundamental change in world-view, at least for those who broadly share the world view I am presenting in this book.

I find the whole time travel question very unsettling if you take it to its logical extension. I think it might eventually be possible, but then what happens?

I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Trust me: you make a movie about time travel, and you know for a fact humans will never travel through time. The paradoxes that come up just from trying to tell a story with time travel really illuminates the fact that it's impossible. It will never happen. We can barely get through a movie that involves time travel.

Thinking about time travel may seem like something humans have been doing since the first caveman dropped the first rock on his foot. But, even to begin to imagine the possibility of time travel, your mind must be able to wrap itself around the notion of a past and a future.

Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible.

Time travel offends our sense of cause and effect - but maybe the universe doesn't insist on cause and effect.

Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on physicists to prove there must be a law forbidding time travel.

I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!

I'd love to time travel.

Time travel is a fantasy we all have. The 'Back to the Future' series really exploits that wish.

Travel at faster than the speed of light certainly can have dramatic implications that are difficult to understand, such as time travel.

Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity.

I like science fiction, I like fantasy, I like time travel, so I had this idea: What if you had a phone that could call into the past?

I know, on 'Rick and Morty,' we had the time where they unfreeze time, and they're in trouble because of it. The time starts splitting. That episode, we got a little too focused on 'how,' the hows and the science behind it, and oh my God, it was - it was spiraling us for sure.

If you put me in a real Tardis, I dread to think what would happen to the universe.

The river of time may fork into rivers, in which case you have a parallel reality and so then you can become a time traveler and not have to worry about causing a time paradox.

People who think about time travel stories sometimes think that going back in time would be fun because you would have all the information you needed to be much more astute than the people there, when the truth is of course you wouldn't.

Finney is about the best writer of time travel stories ever, and I adore time travel stories - have to make a time travel game someday!
