I read an article in the last Grapevine (5) that attempted to deal with time
travel, so seeing as My hobby used to be Theoretical physics I decide to
stick my nose into this topic and bore you to death, tough.
The article went along with a generally accepted theory of Travelling through
time and particularly centred on the effects `Changing` the past might have
on the `present`. Putting it basically most people believe that if we were
to travel back in time and change the past one of two things would happen:
1. An `alter reality` would be created that would exist in near parallel to
the one which the time traveller originally came from, but would be created
and changed from the point at which he made his altarations.
2. The famous `Paradox`, it`s incredible to believe that many scientist still
accept this nonsence as feasible. In this situation its is believd that any
change in the past might not be channeled to an alter-reality but move rather
like a ripple throughout time, causing great unexpalined change in the
present the traveller left, the bigger the alteration the bigger the paradox,
eg. You might come back and kill your father, there by ending your existence
in the present you came from, it would be necessry for you to exist in order
to come back and stop yourself evr existing, we have a paradox situation.
This may make sense to most of you but that`s because it`s too easy to
believe, it`s total nonsense.
The above theories may work in the movies but I`m afraid Time is too
complicated a thing to confuse even more. Want to have a stab at the truth?
In order for time-travel to exist time itself would have to be an infinity
therefor rendering it a `timeless` unit plane, ie. the every moment of past,
present and future would have to exist simultaneously. If. this is true and
man eventually developed Time-travel there would be no risk of `Alter
realities` or paradoxes. If he travels into the past and thinks he changes
something then something will happen to counter act that change; Why would
a Counter-Change occur? Very simply because it did in his past, it would have
to have happened in order for him to believe there was something he needed to
change, basically in his present he had already been in the past and tried to
change something but somehow it had been stopped or covered up because in his
present (Before he travels back in time) he thinks nothing`s changed.
Confused? Put it this way, If someone travelled back in time to kill Hitler
he would fail, or they would do something to replace Hitler or make people
think he still lived, the proof would be that in the travellers present,
Before the trip, It is believed that Hitler Lived until the end of the war.
It is the ultimate in cosmic protection, you cannot change your present by
changing your past , with the simple proof that you didn`t.
On other thing to think about is that if man developed Time-travel we would
probably already know, unless they were very careful, as they could appear in
anytime before they developed it, they could be here right now.

Lessons in confusion you may think, but hey man.............
