Abstract

Based on the principles of special relativity, this paper argues that time reversal into the past entails a logical contradiction. Specifically, the very process of entering superluminal speed—the condition required for time reversal—presupposes a forward progression of time. If a body successfully exceeds the speed of light and begins to move backward in time, it must, by definition, return to a velocity prior to the moment of superluminal transition. Consequently, the condition for time reversal collapses at the very instant it is achieved, rendering the entire notion structurally self-defeating.
