    *THE PARADOXES OF TIME TRAVEL*

    ISAAC ASIMOV wrote: “The dead giveaway that true time-travel is
    flatly impossible arises from the well-known paradoxes it entails.
    So complex and hopeless are the paradoxes that the easiest way out
    of the irrational chaos that results is to suppose that true
    time-travel is, and forever will be, impossible.” In this talk our
    speaker will introduce some of these alleged paradoxes of time
    travel and argue that they are not really so troublesome after all
    and that, while time travel may or may not be physically possible,
    there are no good conceptual reasons for thinking that it is impossible.

    Speaker:NICHOLAS SMITH/Professor of Philosophy at Sydney University/
