Suppose you could travel back in time...

NeoNite · Sep 28, 2004

back to when you were a baby, a newborn.
And you could hold ehmm.. yourself in your arms.

Wouldn't that be extremily.. well, both weird and fantastic?

O.S.T · Sep 28, 2004

I would draw my baby-me eyes on the eye lids and a mustache with a marker, because it looks funny

das_ben · Sep 28, 2004

I don't like babies at all.

AMmayhem · Sep 28, 2004

I'm not good with babies, and I'd probably kill baby-me.

Would that be suicide?

ShortCutMan · Sep 28, 2004

I'd probably freak myself out.

@AMmaygem: I think it would be murder, because the cops that catch you there for doing it wouldn't believe you if you said you were from the future.

But if you killed baby you wouldnt that kill future you to because you no longer exist?

Space time continuum discussions make my brain hurt.

...but if your future self didn't exist, then you couldn't have been there to kill yourself as a baby.

No you are currently your future self when you go into the past. So if you kill your past self you will pull a star trek and vanish into thin air. Or something like that.

Time is change. You can't unchange things that have already happened.

Zur · Sep 28, 2004

Hmmm, if time didn't exist then what would be like ? I mean, what is a creature that is 1 year old and also 5, 10, 25, 40, 60 & 70 years old ?

If time doesn't exist, then how does our brain actually work and how does it filter things out so it can say to itself that it's in moment A and not B ?

What if you found a way of tricking your brain to not do this ? Does this mean the possibility of time travel without lifting a finger or does it mean instant dementia ?

If time doesn't exist then why do we die ? Have we reached a frontier beyond which our "life stream" can't go ?

Yes. I would also no longer exist to go back into the past to kill myself.

If time didn't exist then nothing else would exist. Because you need time for space, and space for time, and everything revolves around time and space.

Time Travel

Time is also defined as being the fourth dimension of our universe. The other three dimensions are of space, including up-down, left-right and backward-forward. Time cannot exist without space, and likewise, space cannot exist without time. This interconnected relationship of time and space is called the spacetime continuum, which means that any event that occurs in the universe has to involve both space and time.

Onsop · Sep 29, 2004

No, scientists say that if you go back in time it would be a different universe. if you killed yourself as a baby in a different universe, you are not the same, it would not affect you. (yea it dont make complete sense)

Onsop already explained, so I won't paraphrase his post.

Traveling BACK in time means never going back to your originating time-line. But, hey, that's the point of time-travel.

_Zd_Phoenix_ · Sep 29, 2004

I'd rather see me when I was 13 or so, so I could tell me about some things to avoid. Much more useful.

but if you told yourself those things, you'd never learn that you need to know that, and never go back and tell yourself that. and then you'd make those mistakes, and then you'd need to go back, and not make the mistakes, and then not need to go back, and then your head would EXPLODE!

_Zd_Phoenix_ · Sep 29, 2004

i agree about needing to learn from mistakes, but some just go too far. Like Head exploding for example.

Stigmata · Sep 29, 2004

i always thought that time travel was more or less crossing over into a another dimension that was X amount of time in the past (or future); so that if you were to kill yourself as a baby, only the future you from that dimension would cease to exist, but You yourself would continue to live since you are from a nighboring dimension.
come to think of it... I don't like that theory. that's too many dimensions to keep track of...

sweeny · Sep 29, 2004

good old time travel
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/timetripqa.shtml in case anyone was intrested

i would take all the money i have now and put it in a bank for myself so when i was older i could have lots more money

Suppose you could travel back in time...
