Abstract:
We introduce a quantum mechanical model of time travel which includes two figurative beam splitters in
order to induce feedback to earlier times. This leads to a unique solution to the paradox where one could kill
one’s grandfather in that once the future has unfolded, it cannot change the past, and so the past becomes
deterministic. On the other hand, looking forwards towards the future is completely probabilistic. This
resolves the classical paradox in a philosophically satisfying manner.
