Resolves yes if any of the following occur:
- 80k hours mentions time-travel research in any substantive way to encourage work in the field (or discourage for any reason other than time travel being considered impossible)

  • - Any fund listed on the EA website under "EA Funds" disburses funds to a program designed to research time travel - this includes research into potential impacts, ethics, etc., not just feasibility.

  • - Any other fund commonly considered to be part of 'Effective Altruism' does the same (resolving at my discretion)



    Question resolves to N/A if time travel is conclusively proved possible or impossible prior to a YES resolution (e.g. if a government deploys such a technology before the EA-community becoming aware of the possibility).

Technicalities resolve at my discretion (e.g. if 'Effective Altruism' splinters into multiple movements, etc.)

  • Resolves to NO otherwise.
