English abstract

About the possibility of time travel based on several specialized works, notably those of Nicholas J. J. Smith (“Time Travel”), William Gray (“Troubles with Time Travel”), Ulrich Meyer (“Explaining causal loops” ), Simon Keller and Michael Nelson (“Presentists should believe in time-travel”), Frank Arntzenius and Tim Maudlin (“Time Travel and Modern Physics”), and David Lewis (“The Paradoxes of Time Travel”). The article begins with an Introduction in which I give a brief overview of time travel and continues with a History of the concept of time travel, the main physical aspects of time travel, including time travel in the past in general relativity and quantum physics, and time travel in the future, then a presentation of the Grandfather Paradox addressed in almost all specialized works, followed by a section devoted to the Philosophy of Travel in time and a section in which I analyze Causal Loops for time travel. I end my work with Conclusions, in which I maintain my personal opinions on time travel and the Bibliography on which the work is based.

French abstract

À propos de la possibilité de voyager dans le temps sur la base de plusieurs ouvrages spécialisés, notamment ceux de Nicholas J. J. Smith (« Time Travel »), William Grey (« Troubles with Time Travel »), Ulrich Meyer (« Explaining causal loops »), Simon Keller and Michael Nelson (« Presentists should believe in time-travel »), Frank Arntzenius and Tim Maudlin (« Time Travel and Modern Physics »), et David Lewis (« The Paradoxes of Time Travel »). L'article commence par une Introduction dans laquelle je fais une brève présentation du voyage dans le temps et poursuit par une Histoire du concept de voyage dans le temps, les principaux aspects physiques du voyage dans le temps, y compris les voyages dans le temps dans le passé dans la relativité générale et la physique quantique , et les voyages dans le temps dans le futur, puis une présentation du Paradoxe du grand-père abordé dans presque toutes les œuvres spécialisées, suivie d’une section consacrée à la Philosophie du voyage dans le temps et d’une section dans laquelle j’analyse les Boucles causales pour le voyage dans le temps. Je termine mon travail avec Conclusions, dans laquelle je maintiens mes opinions personnelles sur le voyage dans le temps et la Bibliographie sur laquelle repose le travail.
