ok class today we will be debating time travel. open your text books to page 52.
seriously though this is a conversation i have with my wife all the time, we both believe in being able to go in different directions.
i believe if time travel is possible then it is possible to go forward in time, and she believes it is possible to go back in time.
first of my theory (if she wants to go first she can have her own blog)
i believe in going forward in time because it is a simple matter of taking your self out of the time stream, letting it continue as normal, and then re entering it at the desired time. when you are out of time you would obviously not age or even notice the passage of time thus it would only feel like an instant.
she believes that you can go back in time because since it has already happened it is there in it's set state you just need to go to the specific spot in time and visit it.
(at this point i would like to point out how much i love my wife... hehehe)
my flaw in her plan is that if you go back in time you change time thus altering all reality and destroying reality.... or just making Obama loose the election.
i believe her flaw in my plan is something like if you go to the future like that you won't be able to see your self in the future which i say .... well yeah... so i think i win :D
please feel free to put your opinions in the lil comment box down there *points down*

To fully analyze this issue we need to consult the Bible of Time Travel, the Back to the Future trilogy as a platform for discussion. Now as the Jesus of time travel (also known as Christopher Llyodd) explains, going back in time can be extremely risky. The problem with this, (as you expressed) is that making any changes (even tiny ones) can create a fork in the space-time continuum and drastically alter the future. This theory is also supported by two other highly credible sources on time travel; The Butterfly Effect and that episode of the Simpsons where Homer goes back in time.
ReplyDeleteNow this scenario, however, does not discount Jackie's theory that going back in time is possible. The key question in this scenario is what happens to the parallel time series when an alteration occurs....that is....do both universes exist simultaneously? And furthermore is it possible to travel back through the space-time continuum to the point of alteration and rejoin the original path as Mr. Llyodd believes? I think the bottom line here is travelling back in time IS possible if one were able to obtain a Delorian, a long ramp, plutonium and 1.21 Gigawatts of power.
As for travelling into the future, there are some modern day "scientists" who beleive that traveling forward into time is a possible reality through "time dilation". After consulting with their academic journals (by which I mean Wikipedia) many great scientists including Albert Einstein believe that it is theoretically possible to suspend someone in time for an extended period and thereby vault them into the future. The problem with his theory, however, is that Hollywood has yet to make a movie about it so we can understand what the hell they're talking about.
Personally I am of the belief outlined in The Time Machine which presents a scenario where not only is time travel possible, but was achieved by mankind with disastrous consequences, but then mankind used time travel to come back in time to stop time travel from ever being invented. Bottom line.....there is a man perpetually in the future with a time machine who thwarts anyone discovering time travel by traveling back in time.
