So if you kill people, for example, they only die in your new universe, but not your old one. Thus you still would be alive if your parents died from someone going into the past." - Quoted from Jason's post of cool Topics. If that was true how come in Back to the Future, the photgraph Marty Mcfly carried slowly kept fading the more his mother fell in love with him?
March 29, 200817 yr comment_9563 Because that is a movie. That is another theory though. Theories include the one I mentioned, the possibility that it CAN mess up things back in the original time, or that some forces prevent you from doing anything to alter the past... so in that third theory it's saying basically you just can be an observer of the past, but not really interact. In the theory I mentioned if you go back and see your parents, they arent really even your parents, just exactly like them. And if you were to go back and kill Hitler before he rose to power, then that Universe would have 50 million new people and then their offspring also. By the way Back To The Future is one of my favorite movies of all time. I haven't watched them in a while though. On the dvd it has outtakes which are quite funny for scenes not being left in.
August 4, 200817 yr comment_10443 Going back in the past is widely accepted to be impossible as time is a vector. Theories of time travel, true ones, not arm chair speculations like you and I have, require a lot of mathematical understanding.
August 5, 200817 yr comment_10449 There are theoretical physicists though (Michio Kaku is the one I know of) who do think traveling into the past is possible due to the multiple universe theory. (I think it's called that, may be called infinite universe theory.... whatever it is called it's theorized by them that the Universe splits into parallel universes if you go into the past).
August 5, 200817 yr comment_10455 Michio Kaku is probably referencing Kurt Godel's work on the Godel Metric. It's much more complicated than this though. Like I suggested there is barely any use in us conversing about this since it's basically the same thing as two kindergarteners discussing the meaning of life. Neither us knows what the hell we're talking about.
