Time Travel Paradoxes Solved? New Study Shows How Quantum Mechanics Prevents Changing the Past

Can you imagine the stories Isaac Asimov could write?

[GreenHornet]

I was just discussing this with someone next week.

[Dead Corpse]

We’re all the Main Character in our individual lives... :-)

[Huskrrrr]

“So if any of us actually was a time traveler, we’d never know it :)”

That makes the most sense, to me. Whatever slick idea we come up with, God has already come up with a better idea.

[Red Badger]

You mean like “The Ugly Little Boy”?..............

If you set out to “Change the past” then the “past” is in your future, making this whole discussion useless.

Time travel makes for great science fiction. It’s not reality.

[Jeff Chandler]

The FUTURE. Biff had the right idea with the almanac.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hugh Ross suggests visualizing God’s reality this way:

We exist on a line of time, just moving on it in one direction. But God exists in more dimensions of time, as though He sits on a globe of time, from which He can and does drop down to any and every point on our line.

[TexasFreeper2009]

But new technology can not be kept secret forever, eventually, the technology gets out. When something is ready to be invented it will be invented. And it wouldn’t be small one off’s like your example, everyone from the future for ALL of eternity of the future would be traveling back in time as tourists.

[T.B. Yoits]

We’re all the Main Character in our individual lives...

So many are spectators in their own individual lives.

[ByteMercenary]

“You can’t go back and kill Hitler as a child because you wouldn’t remember it if you did...”

Rather ... just because you cannot remember doing the act does not mean you didn’t do it.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Red Badger. When I mess around with my time machine, I always alter the future. Screw 'em.

Ha! Not me... I’m even working on Plot Armor. :-)

[Tell It Right]

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve read Dr. Ross’ description many moons ago. The RTB team is a very valuable team for God’s church.

[Socon-Econ]

We don’t need to study advanced physics to know that time is linear from past to future.

[Nateman]

All kinds of great Science Fiction have time travel. My favorite was Asimov’s ‘End Of Eternity’.

[Red Badger]

Time travel is not forbidden in Einstein’s Universe.

But it is difficult.

It requires massive amounts of gravity, and is usually one way.......

[Nateman]

..Many years ago, I saw a YouTube video explaining what would have actually happened if Superman did that...

A delightful old movie with something similar. The Man Who Could Work Miracles.

One such writer called it “creating a stem” where the previous time line will continue but a new timeline where the alteration occurred continues from that point. Thus you can travel back to a future that still has you in it but the other time line has another you.
