Decent way to get students thinking about it.

#4If you do not work on an important problem, it's unlikely you'll do important work. It's perfectly obvious. Great scientists have thought through, in a careful way, a number of important problems in their field, and they keep an eye on wondering how to attack them. Let me warn you, `important problem' must be phrased carefully. The three outstanding problems in physics, in a certain sense, were never worked on while I was at Bell Labs. By important I mean guaranteed a Nobel Prize and any sum of money you want to mention. We didn't work on (1) time travel, (2) teleportation, and (3) antigravity. They are not important problems because we do not have an attack. It's not the consequence that makes a problem important, it is that you have a reasonable attack. That is what makes a problem important. When I say that most scientists don't work on important problems, I mean it in that sense. The average scientist, so far as I can make out, spends almost all his time working on problems which he believes will not be important and he also doesn't believe that they will lead to important problems.

#5Really? Just do: import antigravity
The problem is that the package hasn’t been updated for python3 :D

Time travel back into the past is understood to be impossible.

The math say time travel is possible, but the energy required would consume the universe, depending on what paper your read. There is no reason math wise the arrow of time only goes in one direction.

Certain kinds of it.
Time travel to the past in a parallel universe at least doesn't cause any logical problems ('paradoxes') to arise.

Which he alludes to with the phrase
"They are not important problems because we do not have an attack."
That said, closed time like curves are not excluded as possible by General Relativity.

And where would the information about parallel universes be contained?
