- I read an article in the last Grapevine (5) that attempted to deal with time
- travel, so seeing as My hobby used to be Theoretical physics I decide to
- stick my nose into this topic and bore you to death, tough.
-
- The article went along with a generally accepted theory of Travelling through
- time and particularly centred on the effects `Changing` the past might have
- on the `present`. Putting it basically most people believe that if we were
- to travel back in time and change the past one of two things would happen:
- 1. An `alter reality` would be created that would exist in near parallel to
- the one which the time traveller originally came from, but would be created
- and changed from the point at which he made his altarations.
- 2. The famous `Paradox`, it`s incredible to believe that many scientist still
- accept this nonsence as feasible. In this situation its is believd that any
- change in the past might not be channeled to an alter-reality but move rather
- like a ripple throughout time, causing great unexpalined change in the
- present the traveller left, the bigger the alteration the bigger the paradox,
- eg. You might come back and kill your father, there by ending your existence
- in the present you came from, it would be necessry for you to exist in order
- to come back and stop yourself evr existing, we have a paradox situation.
- This may make sense to most of you but that`s because it`s too easy to
- believe, it`s total nonsense.
-
- The above theories may work in the movies but I`m afraid Time is too
- complicated a thing to confuse even more. Want to have a stab at the truth?
- In order for time-travel to exist time itself would have to be an infinity
- therefor rendering it a `timeless` unit plane, ie. the every moment of past,
- present and future would have to exist simultaneously. If. this is true and
- man eventually developed Time-travel there would be no risk of `Alter
- realities` or paradoxes. If he travels into the past and thinks he changes
- something then something will happen to counter act that change; Why would
- a Counter-Change occur? Very simply because it did in his past, it would have
- to have happened in order for him to believe there was something he needed to
- change, basically in his present he had already been in the past and tried to
- change something but somehow it had been stopped or covered up because in his
- present (Before he travels back in time) he thinks nothing`s changed.
- Confused? Put it this way, If someone travelled back in time to kill Hitler
- he would fail, or they would do something to replace Hitler or make people
- think he still lived, the proof would be that in the travellers present,
- Before the trip, It is believed that Hitler Lived until the end of the war.
- It is the ultimate in cosmic protection, you cannot change your present by
- changing your past , with the simple proof that you didn`t.
-
- On other thing to think about is that if man developed Time-travel we would
- probably already know, unless they were very careful, as they could appear in
- anytime before they developed it, they could be here right now.
