[QUOTE="temporal recon, post: 63300, member: 2826"] Everyone, The potential of Time Travelers visiting us provides us the rare opportunity to interact with someone from our future, someone who knows events before they happen. How? Because they are recounting events from their own past, a past that has not happened for us yet. Over the short time that I have been inquiring into the Time Travel question, I have seen the same questions asked in different forms over and over again to the point that it becomes tiresome. [CENTER][SIZE=4][B][COLOR=#ff0000][I]What will happen tomorrow?[/I][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/CENTER] Why? Why is this same question asked time and time again? If you watch the news, the [I]vast majority [/I]of the news isn't necessarily what [U]happened that day,[/U] but rather what [U]will happen tomorrow.[/U] Even the news knows nobody cares about what happened in the past. Chalk it up to simple human nature, it's been going on for centuries. Now, it is easily understood what we could possibly have to gain by knowing our own future. We can prepare for what's coming, both mentally and materially. For example: If you knew that the lights would go out tomorrow and not come back for some time, [I]what would you do today?[/I] [CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000][B]But have you considered what you might LOSE by knowing the future?[/B][/COLOR][/CENTER] It is here that the enormous responsibility that time travelers have to the residents of the time lines they visit reveals itself. For example: If a time traveler gave you the exact date and time that your father will die in a car crash, what do you LOSE? What you have to gain is obvious, you could save your father from a horrible crash and death. You get to have your father for a few years more until he dies of some other cause. But what do you [U]lose[/U]? You lose the life experience and wisdom gained personally by his death. Working through the grief, coping with your sorrow. How much [B]poorer[/B] are you by avoiding this hard and difficult experience? How differently would you lead your life (thus avoiding the hard experiences that shape us)? Eventually, every decision you make is colored by what you [U]think[/U] will happen according to what an anonymous time traveler told you. Yes, this is decidedly difficult to measure, but have you considered knowing our own future is a net LOSS in our own human experience? Is THIS why time travelers are so circumspect? Should we now change the questions that we ask from what the weather will be tomorrow to larger questions? Temporal Recon [/QUOTE]
