[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 171045, member: 10263"] You are not reading what I post. You cannot necessarily compare time to distance. They are related, but not necessarily the same at all. I can measure the distance between two points, for instance, by starting at one point and counting my steps to the second point. When I reach the second point and sum all my steps to come up with some measure of distance, the first point still exists. I can easily walk back there. There exists no proof that this is the case with time. In order to travel to some place, that place has to exist. In order to travel from your current position to another position that is also in the past implies that the past actually exists, else you would not be able to travel there. Do you understand what I am saying here? You have no reason to believe with any certainty that the past even exists, and therefore no reason to believe you can travel to the past. This is the ancient philosophical debate first engaged in between students of Parmenides and students of Heraclitus. Parmenides believed the universe cannot change. He saw all of time and space as one thing. The passage of time was an illusion to him. Heraclitus saw the universe as only the present moment, a thing in constant flux. To Heraclitus, the idea of traveling to the past would have been nonsensical. This division has continued throughout philosophy and even science until this day, expressed in many forms and in many contexts. [/QUOTE]
