Inspired by a dream I once had, this month I want to discuss time travel stories! I'll be talking about different kind of time travel narratives, but most importantly, I want to go beyond the puzzles and mystery boxes they so often represent and dive deeper into their meaning on a personal level. If you have any favorite time travel films/series/etc. let me know!

I think 12 Monkeys and Interstellar handle time travel in very different and equally clever ways. In 12 Monkeys, Cole (Bruce Willis) sounds like he is suffering from schizophrenia as he tries to remember what happened in the time he has travelled to, but if you listen closely everything he says makes sense. In Interstellar it's commendably scientific, exploring relativeity through the Twin Paradox. Then at the finale, when he enters the singularity, the creators used considerable artistic licence to represent four-dimensional spacetime in a three-dimensional construct. Some people might find it over the top but I think it is glorious, especially considering that it isn't possible to visualise four dimensions directly.
