The seminar-workshop dedicates itself to the critical exploration of the concept of time-travel, which is commonly defined as moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space, either sending objects or just information backwards in time to some moment before the present, or sending objects forward from the present to the future without the need to experience the intervening period. Before the twentieth century, scientists and philosophers rarely investigated time travel, but now it is an exciting and deeply studied topic. There are investigations into travel to the future and travel to the past, although travel to the past is more problematical and receives more attention. There are also investigations of the logical possibility of time travel, the physical possibility of time travel, and the technological practicality of time travel. Against this backdrop the seminar-workshop attempts to create an illustrative archive of time-travel as discussed in science fiction, fiction and physics today.
