This morning I had a vision of an incredible bizarre Time Travel scenario. This is how it goes:
A guy (his name is unimportant but you could call him Doc Brown if you want) invents a Time Machine (again the shape is unimportant but if you want, it could look like a DeLorean) on March 23, 2015. It can time travel to the future but can remain there for only less than a minute before returning to March 23, 2015 again.
The Time Traveler decides to travel exactly one year into the future to March 23, 2016 and then report to the world what he has discovered when he returns. To do this, he brings an iPad with him to quickly find out what is happening in the news.
Okay, the guy time travels to today, checks out his iPad for news, and registers incredible shock before returning back to March 23, 2015 less than a minute later. He tumbles out of the time machine, still in a state of shock, and unfortunately it blows up when he exits.
However, rather that mourn the loss of the time machine, the time traveler rushes to the town square with his shocking news. He yells out to everybody that he has time traveled to a year in the future and he has SHOCKING news to relay.
A skeptical but curious crowd gathers in the town square as the time traveler describes his destroyed time machine. He lectures a bit about flux capacitors and other stuff relating to the physics of time travel. Those in the crowd with some knowledge of science are impressed but still skeptical.
Finally, someone in the town square crowd yells out, "So tell us what shocking news you discovered from a year from now!"
"Jeb Bush has endorsed Ted Cruz for the GOP nomination!"
The crowd bursts out laughing. One of them says, "You sure had us going with your in-depth knowledge of physics but that tall tale means you never traveled to the future."
"But it's true! I swear it is! I saw the news on my iPad!" replied the time traveler.
Again the crowd laughed and one of them says, "Yeah, and next you'll be telling us Mitt Romney also endorsed Cruz!"
The crowd falls back to laughing again as the time traveler realizes there is no way for the crowd to find out he is telling the truth except to wait a year.
Time travel, if possible, can ONLY have you going into the future, as the past already exists.
You CAN'T go back and kill Hitler, because you were born in 1967.
Kill Hitler, time changes, your parents meet or don't, you can't possibly have been conceived so you can go back in time.
Fun to think about, though.
I say, Pub, if I ever see United Nations troops standing at the ready to enforce this decision, if there’s ever a problem, I’ll just walk out on the balcony here - walk out, put that double barrel shot gun and fire two blasts outside the house - I promise you whoever is coming in will be laid out in style.
There’s another reason Time Travel is impractical, as well.
Remember the old physics law that says, “Matter and energy can neither be destroyed nor created, outside of nuclear reaction, it just changes form.”
There is a finite amount of matter and energy in this universe.
If you leave this time and travel, forward or backward in it, you would be ‘creating’ more matter than the universe had in it at that time. All matter in you and your machine was here, in some oth. form, at the time you chose to visit. The same matter cannot be in two places at the same time. Every atom and erg of energy must balance out and be accounted for.
So, in order to travel in Space-Time, you would have to transfer the exact same amount of matter and energy to the place you left, and vice versa when you come back, if possible.......
The whole point of the Trump movement is to rid ourselves of the entrenched Washington politicians, those corrupted criminals of both parties who do the will of their globalist masters, and not the will of the people. What has Cruz done? He has done everything he can to maintain the power structure, it will be business as usual in Washington, and likely Jeb Bush the nominee. After all Bush said he would be, and Cruz is going to ensure it.
By their fruits you shall know them. And Cruz is establishment fruit, changing nothing, deceiving the people, giving them the pretense for a little while they are not voiceless and powerless, and so will mindlessly following the “renegade” Cruz, the Judas goat who will bring them back into the fold to be shorn and shackled, and then business as usual for the elites and their globalist masters.
This time traveler story by Dan Simmons is particularly relevant today.

No, not that big into horror except what I write myself, some of which is published.
Check out Kirk.
I was there 2 weeks ago. Obambi is still blaming Bush for everything.
Thanks for the ping.
