Time Paradox?

Question

Say you had acess to a time machine! You go back in time and prevent Rosie O donald's conception! (just as an example) Ok so since that time VH-1 still plays videos, Kmart is the greatest store around and the view is no longer on the air. How would you know to go back in time and stop the conception!

Would time just run in a circle?

Answer 1

From what I understand there are very few privileged enough to know about these changes.The Term Watchers has been used to describe these people and typically what they can do as well. Some people are "chosen" to alter certain events much like the Movie The Matrix. You really really need to watch more sci-fi and see the logic in this more clearly. Although many of these movies and shows insult our intelligence such as the  Star Trek series who can take people apart at the moleculer level but can't seem to beam them back up uninjured or healthy. Huh?! Check out remote viewing which is similar to these watchers. What would Yoda say?

Answer 2

And who would have played Betty Rubble in "The Flintstones" movie?

My guess is that there are an endless amount of alternative timelines and universes. We would just veer off into one of those.

Answer 3

That is the whole crux of the Time travel debate. Is the traveler immune to the paradoxes they create. If they are not then you could never change anything that directly affects you. That is provided time is actually linear. It has been hypothesized that it is possible that time is not linear and that its linear appearance is merely a limitation of our own linear existance. How is that for a brain twister.

Answer 4

The question whether the speed of light is a true physical limit has no definite answer yet. It depends on the real structure of the space-time continuum, which is presently unknown. If absolute time (and a preferred reference frame) exist, then faster-than-light speeds - and even faster-than-light travel - are possible, at least in principle. Although the theory of special relativity states against absolute time and superluminal phenomena, it does it not by proof, but only by assumption. If superluminal signals are to be discovered in the future, then the notion absolute time will surely have to be reintroduced to physics. check the links for more information;

Answer 5

you cannot change something that is already there. something that is already there in front of you proves that you didn't go back in time and changed it in the first place.

Answer 6

Kinda like the one used for acting of the movie Deja vu? I thought that was cool.
