Answer:
“Time travel hasn’t been invented yet. But it will be,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt says at the beginning of Looper. That’s the thing about time travel: Once you invent a time machine, you just have to use it to travel back to the U.S. Patent Office on the first day it opened, so you can register your invention and serve as inspiration for an endless stream of movies. For decades, Hollywood has been treating the space-time continuum like it’s just the daily rushes for editors to cut together.
Answer:
In psychology, mental time travel (also called "chronosthesia") is the capacity to mentally reconstruct personal events from the past (episodic memory) as well as to imagine possible scenarios in the future (episodic foresight / episodic future thinking). The term was coined by Endel Tulving in 1985, as was the largely synonymous term chronesthesia.[1][2]
Mental time travel has been studied by psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, philosophers and in a variety of other academic disciplines.[3][4] Major areas of interest include the nature of the relationship between memory and foresight,[5][6] the evolution of the ability (including whether it is uniquely human or shared with other animals),[7][8] its development in young children,[9][10] its underlying brain mechanisms,[11][12] as well as its potential links to consciousness,[13] the self,[14] and free will.[15]
