[QUOTE="mr_bumpkin, post: 26804, member: 513"] [b]Re: Time Travel: Recent experiments in quantum erasing[/b] I like the idea that once you're in the past, you're there. You're severed from the time frame of your origin. I only concurr with the formation of a new timeline idea if we consider that the old time line was destroyed in the process. The creation of a whole new universe based on the changes made by a single time traveler (so as to have two universes now instead of one) seems like a pretty momentous occurrence, too momentous for a machine to be able to bring about. The only matter left is the issue of duplicate particles of matter existing in different places at the same time. If you go back in time one day so that there are now two of you walking around throughout the same day, that would imply that the same matter was occupying two places at the same time. Since he/she is you, the matter that composes his/her body is the same matter as that which composes yours, minus any sweat/skin flakes/ excretion you might have shed in the course of the day. Can it be in two places at once? Maybe that's what time travel is meant to create. What if you go back a few decades and prevent your own birth? Does the matter that would have become your body go somewhere else, or does something have to disappear? In order to have the same matter exist in two places at once, there must be a duration limit of some kind on that coexistence or else what you would have would be a machine that creates matter from nothing. Or.... a better example.... What if you go back in time one day and then do something to prevent yourself from going back in time the next day. (Like tie up your alternate self and leave them in a closet the whole next day through so they can't go back in time) Now there are two of you. If you then destroy the time machine, from then on, would there always continue to be two of you? [/QUOTE]
