[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 12123, member: 42"] [b]Why is our worldline so special?[/b] ::.. Making it virtually impossible for him to be THE Time Traveller to go back from our worldline ..::.. That idea has been hashed to no end ..:: [right][snapback]13231[/snapback][/right] [/b][/quote] Well, not quite so hashed, actually. The questions may be answered by thinking of the "present" moment as the point from which any number of alternate potential timelines can branch-- perhaps even some, according to some theories, that proceed "backwards," that is, a bizarre reverse timeline. The element in common in the divergent lines is nothing other than the present moment; and each is nothing but potential. To go back to a point before something happens does nothing more than recreate the potential, such that it may not, and probably won't, be repeated. That is why Titor, if he becomes a celebrity, will most probably not make the trip to the past, and why he cannot meet his [i]future [/i]self (something oddly not mentioned much in the forum) by "returning" to the future. If he comes here and waits for thirty years, he will see his current child self grow into an adult in a new and unpredictable future, which we will work to guarantee doesn't include a holocaust.
