Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will understand the concept of time travel as portrayed in Terminator Genisys and its scientific feasibility.

Materials and Prep

• Access to watch Terminator Genisys
• Paper and pen for note-taking
• Basic understanding of physics concepts like time, space, and relativity

Activities

• Watch Terminator Genisys: Start by watching the movie and taking notes on the time travel elements portrayed.
• Research Time Travel: Look up the current scientific theories on time travel and compare them to the movie's portrayal.
• Debate Time Travel Feasibility: Have a debate or discussion on whether time travel could be possible in the future based on current scientific knowledge.

Talking Points

• Time as a Dimension: "In Terminator Genisys, time is depicted as a dimension that can be traveled through like space."
• Wormholes and Black Holes: "The movie mentions the use of wormholes and black holes for time travel, which are theoretical concepts in physics."
• Grandfather Paradox: "The idea of changing the past and causing a paradox is explored in the movie, raising questions about the consequences of time travel."
• Relativity and Time Dilation: "Einstein's theory of relativity suggests that time can be affected by gravity and speed, which is a key concept in time travel theories."
