Re: Infinity:The headstart paradox we'll say man B runs at a constant 10 m sec now. Man A waits till man be has gone 30 m (so he waits three seconds) Second #4 ManA takes off at 20 m second, for a total of 20 m traveled. ManB continues at 10m second, for a total of 40 m traveled. Second...

Re: Infinity:The headstart paradox <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(\"Alpha and 0mega\")</div> We'll say the head start was 2 seconds. We'll say man A runs at 10 m/sec and Man B runs at 5m/sec First second..... (the headstart) Man A stands still and goes 0 m. He's gone a total of 0 m by...

Re: Time Travel: Recent experiments in quantum erasing I like the idea that once you're in the past, you're there. You're severed from the time frame of your origin. I only concurr with the formation of a new timeline idea if we consider that the old time line was destroyed in the process...

Re: The Grandmother Paradox Yeah. If a new timeline is actually created when you jump, then yeah, nobody would be hitting a timeline that was being jumped from. Well, unless...... Let's say you create a new timeline by jumping, then someone like you still manages to exist in this new...

Re: TimeTravel If the present is 2% different from his timeline's version of now, then the future must be even more different, because differences cascade. There are a lot of butterfly effects in life. I would be more convinced if the time traveler was able to present a coherent...

Re: The Effect On Matter Well, energy was constant until Einstien added a new dimension there as well. If you have more matter in one timeframe, you can probably ballance it by having less in another, no? Think of if time travel consisted in litterally making all time flow...

Re: The Grandmother Paradox What people forget about the grandfather/mother issue is that even less extreme circumstances apply. What if your parents had sex on a different day and a different sperm and egg combined? Then another person is born instead of you. As for John Titor: Titor's...

Re: Killed yourself in the past? I don't think anything you do in the past can affect your current self. If you made your past life happier, you wouldn't remember it. The moment your modified future self steps into that time machine, they wink out of existence and you (perhaps unfortunately)...
