Not totally.enriel said:
Someone earlier on this thread posted that you can not travel back in time earlier than when the time machine was invented. Something to do with matter being made out of nothing I think. Thus, we wouldn't know if time travel was possible if that was the case.
Nice try, but I don't play that.Wardnath said:
That whole "you eat ten spiders in your sleep in your life" is a lie. In fact it was placed on the internet in order to test people's gullibility on things they read on the internet.
Really? Sorry but if people of the 'future' came back to the 'present' we wouldn't know.enriel said:
They would know the consequences of using a Time-Travelling machine and so they would try to avoid any contact at all. If anyone or anything saw someone from the future, things would become very ,very bad.

If you're really shocked about any of this, they could all be lying. Liars.
Everything could be a lie in fact. There's no evidence for everything. Eyes can be tricked. People can lie. Everything could be wrong, and nobody wants you to know. But why? What's the point? What's so special about you...

If you go back in time in the future then you have already went back in time and tried to change it, failing in doing so. As time passes, you have the same thoughts your future self thought and try to go back in time and change an event. But, the actions you take have little to no effect, if anything they assist in making the event happen meaning that there is no changing the past. All actions you ever do in the past have already happened and have led to the event (or others) occurring in the first place.
You paradox is therefore not a paradox at all, but a simple impossibility... as I believe anyway.
Trivun brought up an interesting point about this, as did Sewblon. The idea that as we change the past we create a entirely new universe is a one that has piqued my interests, but only my interests. Mainly due to the idea that all past and future occurrences have already occurred. Sewblon's idea that we can't sense the changes is also rather interesting; if the past has changed, how would we know? We certainly wouldn't remember the other present we lived in, for it never happened.
However, Sewblon's leads into the whole idea of perception and what we recognise as our universe could be nothing at all. This could be expanded into it's own thread... I might do that later tonight, in fact.
