On Time Travelling
If someone could go back into the past, he wouldn't be able to change anything.. to us. All he'll do is spawn a parallel possibility and NEVER be able to return to this time and space. A different one brought about by his emergence in the past perhaps. To us he's simply disappeared, never to be seen again.
If someone were to try and travel into the future, he'll cease to exist. Because although the future already exists, for him it won't, cos of his non-existance in between, thus wiping him out during the jump forward into NOTHING.
So is time travel possible? Why not? Although personally i think not. The kind of energy required would most probably suck all life out of this world. The most likely achievement would be to stop time for the "time traveller".. for maybe a second.. ha.. Even if u could travel through time, its not going to make any difference to the rest of us. So why bother?
As to why the future already exists. Sure, its shaped by our decisions that we've yet to make. It seems fluid but its really not. Example: What is my future 5mins later (T+5)? Unknown? i can go sleep or continue blogging. 5mins later whichever choice i made would have happened, thus if u look at T now, T+5 is already known, just not when we were at T. So here i am blogging still. Sure i can argue i could have gone to sleep. But i didn't did i? There is a future where choices have been made n things have happened. Just that it hasn't YET. Don't worry, we still have free will, its not predetermined, we still made the choice despite it feeling otherwise.
Brain twister huh? i kinda think i'm right though.. Haha.. Lalala.. all cos of dat stupid commercial on the upcoming drama.
