time travel and causal loops

Time travel refers to the hypothetical ability to travel backward or forward in time, allowing individuals to experience events in a different time period. Causal loops, also known as bootstrap paradoxes, occur when the outcome of an event is caused by its own future outcome, creating a circular and seemingly impossible cause-and-effect relationship. In simpler terms, a causal loop occurs when an event depends on its own future occurrence, leading to an unresolved origin of the event.
