[QUOTE="I Explain Time, post: 170472, member: 10275"] I stumbled upon this internet forum and man, as a time traveller, you guys have time travel and how time works, in general, all wrong. Just to make things clear, John Titor, as well as every self-proclaimed time traveller, are all fakes. All of them. And to be clearer, you don't have to believe me either, that's fine. I'm just here to explain what really happens when you time travel. And for the record, I don't develop time machines and I don't really know what they're made out of. I just know what happens to you when you time travel, as I am just a consumer of time travel. Although I'm sure most of you know better than this, meeting yourself in the past will not cause the whole world to be erased or something. Nothing happens. Thinking that this is true is just applying human values to physics, and that doesn't exactly work. All that happened when you time travelled was the following: a bunch of particles (you) was displaced and put somewhere else in spacetime. This bunch of particles (you) meeting another bunch of particles (old you) would only result in each bunch of particles (both of yourself) processing information about each other because of certain particles within each bunch (the brain). That's it. As for the people in the "present," you have basically blinked out of existence. You are literally gone, with the exception of some residue. However, that's not an issue, because when the "past" catches up to the "present," you will have always been there. Well, two of you will have, unless in the past you stopped old you from existing. Which by the way, wouldn't stop you from existing. Oh, by the way, you should know that the only way to skip to the future again is to travel nearby light speed. Anyway, if you wanted to know about the nature of time, then I'll talk about that now. So, as confusing as this sounds, everything in time happened at once. Now, you may say that's not time, because if it all happened at once, then time hasn't passed. Well, you're right. This whole thing with everything happening at once creates the illusion of time. If you're playing billiards, and you strike a ball the exact same way 100 times, all of the events on the table will happen the exact same way 100 times, right? A good enough computer can know EXACTLY where each ball will go. Well, replace billiards with literally every particle, and that is how time works, and the universe for that matter. For another example, take a parabola. This curved line goes on forever and has no linear slope. However, if you were to look infinitely close at this parabola, you would see an infinite amount of infinitely small straight lines. If you were to look at time itself, you would see an infinite amount of infinitely brief moments. Each moment depends on what the last moment was, just as each slope of each tiny line depends on the last. Time doesn't "move forward," but instead it doesn't move at all. The reason why we don't interpret time in any other way is that in the past, we have not processed the future. Therefore, we only know what happened before and at our current period of time at any given point in time. This is slightly unrelated, but this is also the same reason why we view the world as ourselves. There is no such thing as a "self". Since our particles simply exist and are interacting with each other, and sending/receiving information, we therefore each have a perspective. You can not ever be somebody else, what you are is simply your particles, and as long as your particles are not a literal part of someone else, then you cannot view the world from their point of view. I hope that answered/corrected multiple things about time. And now that I think about it, the time traveller verification question "answer the question I haven't asked you yet" doesn't work. This literally assumes that they have a method of travelling light speed or have travelled here in the past and happened to remember what that was. You can't properly ask a question that would verify the accused of either being or not being a time traveller. Asking about future world events and such doesn't work either; their presence in the "past" alone could set off the butterfly effect to the point that the event happened differently OR didn't happen.
