[QUOTE="whatisitgoodfor, post: 13718, member: 235"] [b]timetravel and fate.[/b] The theory of time that I actually subscribe to is essentially the one presented by Robert Heinlein. People assume that there must be multiple time lines in order for time travel to exist, otherwise you would not be able to account for the paradoxes (paradoxi? what is the plural of paradox anyway) that can occur from time travel. The whole question of going back in time and killing your father before you were born. The most subscribed to theory would state that you simply taveled to another world line and killed the man that would have been your father there, while leaving your own father alone. The theory I subscribe to would state that when you intended to kill your father, something stopped you quite apparently. Simply put, any "changes" that you make in history are already taken into account in the future you traveled from. While these effects of yourself may not have been evident before hand, after the fact you should be able to look back and see your own thumbprint in history. You can not go back and change anything, because you already have, and the changes that you made were already taken into account when you made the decision to go back. The most common argument against the theory is that it emliminates the possibility of free will. Of course, the chemical nature of thought pretty much eliminates that possibility on it's own. The only variability that could be allowed for in free will arises from quantum events, which may or may not be random. (Honestly, we don't know if they are or not, we simply know that we can't predict them and they line up nicely on a bell curve.) [/QUOTE]
