A new physics study suggests that, within general relativity, closed timelike curves (CTCs) and post-selected CTCs could, in principle, allow messages to travel back in time. The idea echoes Interstellar’s plot and remains theoretical, with researchers planning photon-based experiments to test the concept while avoiding paradoxes through post-selection.
Matt Damon is in talks to star in a secretive new film from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (the Daniels) for Universal, their first project since Everything Everywhere All at Once. After Ryan Gosling (and briefly Jack Black) were considered but could not fit the schedule due to a California tax-credit deadline, Damon stepped in to headline. The story reportedly blends global warming, time travel, and a two-timeline structure (1980s and present day) with teen leads in the 1980s timeline; production is set to begin in LA this summer as the team finalizes casting.
MIT researchers and collaborators show, in theory, that information could be sent to the past via quantum simulations of post-selected closed timelike curves (P-CTCs); they find backward transmission could, under certain noisy-channel conditions, be more efficient than forward, with self-consistent loops helping avoid paradoxes. The work is purely theoretical and does not involve real spacetime bending, but it extends ideas in quantum information and entanglement about time-like information flow.
Lara Trump said on her Right View show that the viral claim Barron Trump is a time traveler is crazy; she has known him for 18 years and argues there is no credible evidence to support the theory, even as online videos about it rack up views.
Paradise’s Season 3 picks up after the Season 2 finale’s reveal that the bunker tech may bend time and reality. Xavier is tasked by Sinatra to reach Alex and save everyone, while secrets about Link/Dylan and Alex’s possible role as a time-shifting keystone push the saga toward its planned three‑season ending as filming begins.
Paradise Season 2 ends with the Exodus finale that uses a time-warping AI named Alex to avert a climate-catastrophe, as Sinatra sacrifices herself to save the bunker and Xavier is left to carry the burden of saving the world, while lingering questions about Alex’s powers, Dylan’s identity, Jane’s fate, and what Season 3 will reveal remain.
Vulture’s Bilge Ebiri calls Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice a wildly violent, stylishly chaotic action-comedy now on Hulu, featuring Vince Vaughn in a dual role and a time-travel twist. While the tonal shifts aren’t perfectly cohesive, the film’s zippy banter, inventive set-pieces, and a climactic shootout suggest strong midnight-movie/cult-potential for the right crowd.
In Paradise Season 2’s ‘The Final Countdown,’ fans speculate that Link is Sinatra’s late son Dylan, driven by clues like the shared name and a birthday hint, plus a tense confrontation on Air Force One. The theory connects to Sinatra’s secret project Alex and time/multiverse technology, suggesting Dylan could exist in another timeline or reality, with a concrete explanation promised in the finale.
Vince Vaughn stars as multiple doubles of a mobster in the SXSW premiere of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, a time-traveling gangster comedy that teams him with James Marsden and Eiza González; directed by BenDavid Grabinski, the film hits Hulu on March 27 after a crowd-pleasing world premiere full of laughs and over-the-top action.
Paradise Season 2 Episode 3 deepens the bunker saga, revealing Samantha's secret energy project tied to Vestige Quantum, looming time-travel/multiverse hints, Henry Miller's tech and a mysterious protégé named Link, and a dramatic turn as Jane kills Baines, intensifying the conspiracy as the show edges toward a world-ending solution.
On Zelda's 40th anniversary, Kotaku revisits near-miss sci-fi pitches for the series—from a GDC slide show of an outer-space invasion to Miyamoto's earliest time-travel concept and cyberpunk art for A Link to the Past—arguing Nintendo's iconic fantasy roots have always flirted with sci-fi, even as the company keeps a tighter leash on its IPs, leaving space adventures as distant dreams rather than reality.
Square Enix’s HD-2D Zelda-inspired The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is set for a Switch 2 release on June 18, with a free demo on the eShop. The game follows Elliot and a fairy companion as they travel through four ages—Safekeeping, Reconstruction, Magic and Budding—showcasing stylish boss fights and lush HD-2D visuals.
Code Vein 2 aims to be a sprawling vampire Soulslike with a time‑travel twist, delivering satisfying combat, an invincible companion system, and flashy special attacks, but it overextends itself with dull, repetitive dungeons, reused enemies and bosses, and padding that drains the tension. If you loved the first game, you’ll find some improvements, but the open-world design and visuals can feel underwhelming compared to its stylish predecessor.
Disney Branded Television has greenlit a third Phineas and Ferb movie set to begin production later this year for Disney+, featuring a time-warp plot that threatens the brothers’ existence; creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh return as writers/creators, with Kate Kondell and Jeff Howard writing, Bob Bowen directing, and Brandi Young producing; the voice cast includes Vincent Martella, Ashley Tisdale, Caroline Rhea and Alyson Stoner, among others, following the franchise’s prior films and revival—plus new shorts launching on Disney+ this weekend.
A new Hallmark Christmas movie set at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville will begin filming in January 2026, featuring stars Holland Roden and Niall Matter, and will include scenes shot at various estate locations, continuing the story from the 2023 film with a time-travel plot involving a magical hourglass, premiering during the 2026 holiday season.
