A Beach Boys tune wafted in through open windows from the quad. “And so,” he continued, “travel backwards in time would violate causality, and hence appears to be impossible.” He turned to face the class. “The problem is most commonly illustrated with the ‘Grandfather Paradox.’"

By Ambrose Bierce.

A rope closely encircled his neck. It was attached to a stout cross-timber above his head and the slack fell to the level of his knees."
