Right now He’s seeing me being born while He’s also seeing when I’ll die while He’s also seeing me in the here and now.
God tells us “I AM”, not will be or was..............
I will get my own aspirin.
There was a game, US Patent No. 1, about time machine inventors fighting to get the first patent on the day the patent office opened.
Plain language? Impossible! Plain language wasn’t built for time travel! Unless you want to talk about what will’ve’d’ed is’ded’ve’d beened’veded.
If I could travel back in time, I’d go back to February 15, 1971 with 60 RU-486 pills. I’d go to d’Ottawa and feed Margaret Trudeau one pill a day, from February 15 through April 16.
No idea what I just read
But it made me sleepy.
Imagine right after you invent your time machine you get a note from yourself telling you must use your new time machine to kill an Australian baby you’ve never heard of. So you go to Melbourne in 1889 and destroy world history because of your bad handwriting.
The Grandfather Paradox is solved by reading and understanding 1 Samuel 23 and quantum physics.
If you went back in time, you would be interacting with the matter there but it wouldn’t be YOUR grandfather you were interacting with. It would simply be a person in the other timeline which you created by interacting with the matter in it.
Similarly, David gets killed by Saul in Keilah and also he doesn’t get killed by Saul in Keliah. We are in the second timeline.
You shouldn't do that even if you could. It's wrong to kill a child. BUT . . . if you wait until he's a teenager . . well that's a different story.
That’s how I think it is. Another way to visualize it is get a blank piece of paper. Put a dot on it. That is the universe. From the dot draw a line for a few inches. That is the universe through time from beginning to end. God is the paper itself completely underpinning the universe and surrounding it throughout time.
Sci-Fi plotlines will become infinitely more boring under this constraint.
Maybe this can account for the bright light people report in near death experiences.
I wonder what happens to the numbers if hyper-luminal travel, via exotic propulsion or hyper-space shortcut, induces a negative time dialation effect.
IOW... If your reference time at point of origin is where the Universal clock is based off of. At Sub-C or C speeds, time dialation means that your experienced time becomes subjective and real space/time clicks along at a different pace.
This is where the usual tropes of 2 year subjective becomes hundreds of years for those you left behind.
But now consider hyper-luminal... where that time debt is no longer subjective. Your 6 month trip out, 6 months on-site, and 6 months back at n+C speeds means you come back and only 18 months have passed. The difference in n+C would then only effect how much volume you’ve traversed.
So if you save Lincoln, then Lincoln has still been shot in your universe, but you've created a new universe in which Lincoln has not been shot.
Something to do with string theory, I think.
It is just how our informational reference frame, Reality, moves through it that creates our perception of what is Real.
Information cannot be destroyed. Even Hawking needed to back off that a bit due to the evaporation of “black holes”...
Everything you've ever done lives on frozen in time. Everything you could possibly do is already written in to the future. Just because you take one path, doesn't mean the rest cease to exist...
My I-Ching calculator says, “suffusion of yellow”... /Douglas Adams
Well, I don’t know what is really real, but I’m an NPC. Just wanted to share that. Or did I?
Sending mass into the past adds mass, and energy, to the universe in the past, which adds mass to the present out of nowhere. Can’t be done.
The biggest problem with time travel is that one cannot go to a place that doesn’t exist... like the past... or the future.
