One of the most widely recognized paradoxes of time travel is the circular causality problem, which basically states that the consequence of a phenomenon cannot be said to be its root cause.

Thus, relativity means that ...

After a Hundred Years, Einstein's Time Is Still 'Right'

Time is relative, we all know that; as we do things that we enjoy, time seems to pass faster, but when we have a bad experience, it seems to take forever for time to pass.

4400 Mysteries Hit the Summer Schedule

When I said easy, I did not mean weak or lacking value. On the contrary, "The 4400" has quite a reasonably loyal audience for a summer show, when everyone is supposed to be on vacation.
