[QUOTE="temporal recon, post: 53683, member: 2826"] Good question. We may get our idea of "thou shalt not change the past" from popular literature and not necessarily from any real knowledge or experience. This idea that history is inviolate and sacred and the "natural progression of things" may never be changed sounds a lot like the commandment laid down by Gene Roddenberry when he conceived of the "Prime Directive" and its non-interference policy. Why [I]can't [/I]we change the past? What is so sacred about it? And, more to the point in another thread, [I]we wouldn't even know the difference to begin with.[/I] And this brings us to something I've been meaning to bring up for a while: Our history. Time Travel is real and is happening now. We know this because the evidence is in and well documented. [CENTER]----------------------------------------------[/CENTER] (Not to sound like a commercial, but if you haven't read Conviction of a Time Traveler, I recommend it. Lots of updated information and evidence never before seen. Don't take my word for it, ask around). [CENTER]----------------------------------------------[/CENTER] If we accept that time travel is real and happening now, then, on any scale you wish to measure, time travelers [I]are [/I]changing our past. Just by virtue of [U]being here[/U] they have changed it. If, for example, a time traveler were to rent a room in my house, he has now taken the place of the person I would have rented to, thus precluding me from meeting and interacting with that person, possibly sending my life in a completely different direction. Of course, change can happen on a larger scale, say recommending to the radar operators on the hill in Hawaii to have a second look at their radar screens, to borrow a previous example. My point here is: [I]There is nothing in our history that is "as it should be." [/I]And from our perspective, we can't even measure how MUCH our history has changed by the actions of time travelers in our past. To transplant a question from a recent post: [CENTER][I]How do mission planners and analysts measure the success of a mission?[/I][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
