Rules For Time Travelers
Thanks to J.J. Abrams and his slew of time-travel related plot devices in film and on TV — basically LOST and Star Trek — I’ve been thinking a lot about time travel and like I usually do, took to Google to learn some basics.

“One of the most famous arguments against time travel was the problem of temporal paradoxes. What happens if you kill one of your ancestors? If someone else did it, then the line that bore you would cease to exist and so would you. But if you did it to yourself, you would cease to exist thus undoing your murder which would bring you back into existence where you would travel back in time to kill your ancestor, etc. A paradox.”

“Although time travel has been a common plot device in fiction since the 19th century, and one-way travel into the future is arguably possible given the phenomenon of time dilation based on velocity in the theory of special relativity (exemplified by the twin paradox) as well as gravitational time dilation in the theory of general relativity, it is currently unknown whether the laws of physics would allow backwards time travel.”

nomnomyumyum 4 years agoTime travel won’t ever exist. I postulate if it did, wouldn’t we encounter people from the future? What! Are they not interested in visiting our time? No future person with a conscience, wants to travel back in time to stop Bush from beginning the Apocalypse?
