Bootstrap Paradox : simple explanation
Travel through time is one of the most notable dreams of many
scientists from very beginning. But this is not an easy work at all. Till now
we have no such process to travel through time, but it is not that we never can
travel through time. According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity we can time travel by some processes. But in
reality those processes are impossible to be executed.
Time travel in future is quite
easier than the time travel in past. Theoretically we have some ways to go to
the past and also we have some ways to go to the future too. But there is many
paradoxes of time travel which indicates that the time travel in past in next
to impossible, even if we have a time machine to go to the past.
Among those paradoxes, one of the
most remarkable paradoxes is Bootstrap
Paradox. This is a theoretical paradox of time travel that occurs when a
material or piece of information sent back in time and becomes trapped within
an infinite causal loop of time in which that item or the information no longer
has a discernible point of origin and is said to be “un-caused” or “self-created”.
It means that item or the information trapped within a causal loop that the item or the information lost its existence.
Now, let’s understand the paradox by an incident,
Imagine one day saw a mysterious book
in front of your door. You took the book to your house and it was written in
the cover page of the book, that “How to Build a Time Machine!” You read the
entire book very carefully and at last you made a time machine after 10 years.
But didn’t know that from where the book came from. Now when finally you made
the time machine, you wrote a book named, “How to Build a Time Machine!” And to
test your time machine you traveled through time 10 years back with your book
to know, who left that book in front of your house. But when you went in your
past (10 years back), you found no book was there in front of your house. Then
you simply came back to your present by your time machine. But mistakenly you
left your self-written book in there (10 years back of your past).
Then you finally understood that it was you who left the
book in front of your house.
CONCLUTION :
If that book was not found by
you, you never could make a time machine. And if you couldn’t make a time
machine, how you wrote the book which was found by you in past. It is a very complicated
paradox of time travel that exists in theories. Here the book is the object or
material that trapped in the causal loop of time.
