An Incredible Demonstration Positing That Time Travel Is Possible Under Particular Circumstances

Brian Cox, the popular BBC Science presenter who’s also a physicist at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester and confirmed Doctor Who fan, demonstrates to a receptive audience how time travel is possible, but only under very particular circumstances.

In this clip Professor Brian Cox – a confirmed Doctor Who fan – undertakes an experiment with a light showing that time moves faster for a stationary clock than a moving clock, which appears to move more slowly over the same length of time. His conclusion is that time travel is possible, but only into the future!
