From 23 to 25 September 2024, the fourth edition of “The Time Machine Factory [unspeakeable, speakable] on Time Travel in Turin” will take place at INRiM historical building, Vallauri Hall, Corso Massimo D’Azeglio 42, in Turin.
The objective of the series of conferences is to pose new mathematical challenges and new frontiers to the two most confirmed theories of the Universe, General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, exploring the emergence of situations in which causality or chronology can potentially be violated.
Although such violations seem to contradict common sense and lead to logical paradoxes, "time machines", indeed, are not excluded by the current laws of physics and involve a wide spectrum of issues such as: causality and non-locality, entanglement and teleportation; the existence of closed time curves and time loops; the nature of stellar and exotic black holes, naked singularities, and wormholes; the creation of warp drives and the potential applications of relativistic/quantum metrology to space-time astronavigation, especially in view of future star maps produced by space missions of the caliber of Gaia (ESA), also useful for the correct pointing direction towards other space-time exosystems. For this edition, in fact, TMF2024 aligns itself with the celebrations of 100 years of the announcement of the existence of galaxies outside our Milky Way and of the first results on the hypothesis of particle-wave dualism.

For those who want to spend an evening between Art and Science of time travel, the appointment is set for September 22 at 10:30 p.m. at the Cinema Massimo in Turin.
Prof. Seth Loyd (MIT) will present three short films directed and created by Michele Reilly and Andre Kezzyn: “Steeplechase”, “Stag Hunt” and “The Pope Bans Time Travel Pilgrimages”.
Following the film “Primer” from 2004 which won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Dramatic Film at the Sundance Film Festival of the same year.

Mercoledì 25, dalle 19:30 alle 22:30, si terrà @FLASHBACK HABITAT, un incontro tra scienza, arte, danza e musica.
Ritrovo al Circolino presso Flashback per parlare di Viaggi nel Tempo con tre donne (Mariateresa Crosta, Atonia Micol Fassino Ana Alonso Serrano ) nell’ambito dell’iniziativa WINGS (Women in Gravities) che avviene ad ogni edizione della Time Machine Factory.
A seguire “The Hypnoid Confession of a Nuclear Blast”, installazione con oggetti gonfiabili luci, suoni e danza, con Anetta Mona Chișa, Monica Clare Mills, Oldřich Šemerák, Teresa Noronha Feio
Ispirate dal lavoro rivoluzionario di Harold Edgerton, un visionario professore del MIT che ha inventato la fotografia ad altissima velocità, le sculture gonfiabili sono una materializzazione dell'inimmaginabile, le esplosioni nucleari, in forma tangibile, rivelando un mondo precedentemente invisibile a occhio nudo: uno spettacolo luminoso di forme luminose, simili a forme di vita aliene. L'artista ha preso queste immagini inquietanti e le ha tradotte in una serie di sculture gonfiabili. Attivate dalla musica, dalla parola parlata e da una performance coreografata dal vivo, trascinano gli spettatori in uno spazio in cui il tempo diventa fluido; la voce che impersona un'esplosione atomica e la performance attorno alle sculture ci sfidano a confrontarci con le complessità del nostro mondo. In questa intricata interazione di arte e scienza, gli spettatori sono invitati a riflettere sui profondi legami che ci legano al cosmo e sulla natura fragile ma resiliente della vita stessa.
