In everyday life, cause always comes before effect. But if superluminal signals are possible, time could get tangled. Physicists have shown: to preserve order, we must give up limited information. It's similar to quantum uncertainty, but without true randomness.
🎯 Almost all real numbers cannot be written as a finite formula—they store an infinite amount of unpredictable digits, like a hidden ocean of information.
🎬 Stories about faster-than-light travel—from Wells's Time Machine to Star Trek episodes—play with the same puzzle about the order of events.
