Oh, to be able to travel through time. Perhaps going back in time to observe or even change your history. Or maybe going forward in time to see what the future holds for us. Or how about travelling through time and space just messing around? Why not spend some time watching these movies that explore the fourth dimenesion. |

The grandfather paradox. You travel back through time and kill your own grandfather, (even if only by accident). So you end up not being born. But if you're not born, you can't go back in time to kill your grandfather. The only sure thing is that you're going to end up with a headache. But of course people have come up with all sorts of ways around that. One way is the multiple time lines idea - that any decision will result in a split into different time lines. Thus you can go back in history, but even if you don't change anything, you can't go back to the future from whence you came. Many prefer the more stable approach, where the timeline can be bumped around, but largely goes in the same general direction unless there are some really big changes. The grandfather paradox can be resolved by simply saying that once you have come back in time, your link to your past is effectively severed and you are a separate entity, so no matter what you do to your ancestry, you still exist. Is real time travel possible? Yes it is possible, but not in any useful way. |
