Christian Wüthrich is a contemporary philosopher of physics whose work focuses on the foundations of spacetime, quantum gravity, and the metaphysics of time. He has contributed to debates about the emergence of spacetime in quantum gravity frameworks and the physical plausibility of time travel. He is based at the University of Geneva.
Argued against the physical plausibility of time travel based on constraints from general relativity and quantum gravity
Contributed to the philosophy of quantum gravity and the problem of time
Analyzed the emergence of spacetime from non-spatiotemporal fundamental structures
Co-directed the project 'Beyond Spacetime' exploring foundational issues in quantum gravity
