“If you see an antimatter version of yourself running towards you, think twice before embracing.”
J. Richard Gott, Time Travel in Einstein's Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time

“People, of course, like to think that they are special -- that's exciting. It's disappointing to discover otherwise.”
J. Richard Gott III

“At the other extreme, if you are at the end of the middle 95 percent, you are situated just 2.5 percent from the end. In that case, 39/40ths of the interval are in the past and 1/40th of the interval remains in the future, making the future only 1/39th as long as the past. Thus, you can say with 95 percent confidence that you fall between these two extremes and that the future longevity of whatever you are observing lies between 1/39th and 39 times its past longevity (see Figure 31).”
J. Richard Gott III, Time Travel in Einstein's Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time
