Time Travel and the Limits of Logic: Why the Grandfather Paradox Continues to Resist Solution [PDF]
Organon FDavid Lewis’s influential solution to the grandfather paradox treats time traveler Tim’s failure to kill his infant grandfather as an ordinary case of unsuccessful action. Relative to the facts at the time of the attempt, Tim can succeed, and his failure

Bell’s Theorem Versus Local Realism in a Quaternionic Model of Physical Space
IEEE Access, 2019 In the context of EPR-Bohm type experiments and spin detections confined to spacelike hypersurfaces, a local, deterministic and realistic model within a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime with a constant spatial curvature (S3) is presented that ...

Here, however, I argue that backwards causation is not only actual, but common, though occurring in the context of our social institutions.

A reverse counterfactual analysis of causation [PDF]
, 2010 Lewis’s counterfactual analysis of causation starts with the claim that c causes e if ~ C > ~ E, where c and e are events, C and E are the propositions that c and e respectively occur, ~ is negation and > is the counterfactual conditional. The purpose of
