File:Steins;Gate Time Travel Explained (Anime Science)

El Psy Kongroo.

Steins;Gate spoilers all over this video, by the way.

Welcome to Anime Science, a new series where we breakdown interesting science fiction concepts in anime and see how accurate they are and how weird we can get with it.

This first part tackles the core premise behind the black hole theory of time travel, which is used in Steins;Gate.

In this episode I talk about spacetime, worldlines, time dilation, black holes, white holes, wormholes, and closed timelike curves (CTCs). We take these concepts and compare them with what we know about the time travel mechanics used in Steins;Gate.

In part two, we'll talk about creating black holes, microwaves, and compressing consciousness into data.

It's a different video than what I'm used to doing but I had a ton of fun working on it and I can't wait to finish part two and I already have a ton of ideas for future episodes of this new series.
