[QUOTE="Chronodynamic Jim, post: 19217, member: 201"] [b]Re: Three Laws of Chronodynamics[/b] Both Lucidus' and StarLord's comments are related, so... The Second Law can best be understood with the following example: A young man builds a time machine and travels back in time to witness the execution of Jesus Christ. Upon his arival he pushes through the crowd to reach the stake to which the dying Messiah is nailed. In his mad rush he knocks down an older gentleman with a scar on his right bicept. At the foot of the stake, he rashley attempts a rescue of the unjustly accused former carpenter. This attempt is thwarted by a roman soldier and the young Time Traveler recieves a nasty cut on his right bicept for his troubles. He goes back to his time and tends to his wound. Later in his life he decides on another trip. On his second trip, he is content to simpley observe. Lost in his thoughts and the mood he is unexpectedly knocked down by a familiar looking young fool who goes on to attempt to rescue Jesus. The young man is injured in the attempt and flees. The older Time Traveler rubs his right bicept in painful memory. In Classic Time Travel, multiple trips to the same point in time meant replaying that point somehow, like a video or DVD, allowing the traveler to make whatever changes he could manage. This viewpoint allows paradoxes to creep in and calls for no end of imaginative inventions to fix them. There has got to be a flaw in this reasoning. A paradox by definition is an event that is impossible. It can't happen. Therefore if your Time Travel Paradigm leads to paradoxes, there is something fundamentally flawed in your paradigm. The flaw with Classic Time Travel is the concept that by time traveling we are somehow forcing the universe to replay a moment of time at our whim, then we change it and now demand that the universe spawn another altered version to accomodate our changes! This is paramount to declaring that as we move about on the surface of the earth, it is actually the earth that is rotating in a direction opposite to our direction so that we are infact not moving. Preposterous! and Yet that is how Classic Time Travel would have us think. The Chronodynamic Viewpoint is summed up in the Second Law.
