Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

If you went back in time and killed your granny before your parents were born, what would be the outcome?
Discussion.

My theory is that then your parents wouldn't be born, then you wouldn't, but that wouldn't change the fact that you killed your granny, so you wouldn't be born again afterwards. Some people will say, then you couldn't have killed you granny because you weren't born! But your granny would STILL BE DEAD!! Even if you never existed, your granny would STILL BE DEAD!!

You know, i question the whole, killing grannies thing. Why does time travveling alays have to do with killing your grannies!?!

P.S. this is a fictional post: Time Travelling into the past is not possible, seeing as time can only move in one direction.

siblings wouldn't work, because they did not have you. But yeah, anything else except siblings and your children or cousins or uncles and aunties would work. I could go on for years as well!

I don't think you'd be able to kill him because if you could kill him you couldn't.

Re: Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

Namely, you cannot do anything that prevents you from going back in time.

You can mess up anything you want otherwise though if you go back in time.  big_smile

after you killed your grandmother you wouldn't exist therefor you couldn't have killed your grandmother and if you didn't kill your grandmother you wouldn't have not existed. so basicaly you would "re-start" from where you began.

But you would be dead.

Re: Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

I think that somewhere in nature is a law that prevents you from traveling backwards in time, because then someone from some time period would mess something up. I know that if you were near a black hole for a while, time around you will travel much faster, thus causing you to age slower than everyone/everything. But I don't think that there is a way to just go back in time.

Re: Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

Time travel is way out of my league

I will stick with math problems for now

But if I had to give you an idea I would say it would tear apart the space-time continuum

Re: Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

But that CAN'T happen. The first time period was BC and the second was AD, the one we're in now. Time machines won't be invented until the next time period, AAD (After After... whatever the D means.)

BUT.

The next time period isn't AAD. It's ADA (After *whatever D means* Again)!

So because the time period AAD will never exist, time machines will never exist, therefor making time untravelable.

Re: Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

Well, actually, if time travel to the past were possible, then you wouldn't be able to kill your granny, because you can't change history. You'll only make what's supposed to happen, happen.

Very true. Time travel is possible, but impractical at the same time. It's almost impossible for a human to travel in some sort of car that can go close to the speed of light.

If only we could get there by driving a DeLorean with a flux capacitor at 88 miles per hour.

Re: Comment Question Of The Day: Time Travelling

That's simple- it creates a new world that you can affect, but can not affect you. In the new world, you were never born, but in the real world, you're still alive.

The real question is this- say two people travel back in time to the same place/time, but both travel at different times (e.g. one goes at 5:00 PM, the other travels at 1:00 AM). Will they meet in the past, even though they left the future at different times?

The "D" in "AD" is "Domini"- AD means "Anno Domini" (it's latin).

Actually, the thing is, if a cyborg goes back in time to kill your mother before you were born, then you'd probably just disappear from sight forever. That's not the case. Like I said in my earlier post, you can't change history.

But you aren't changing it if it already happened (refer to HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban dementor-time scene, as an example- if the past is changed, then it'll already have been like that the first time something happened.)

AD means Anno Domini which is 'Year of our Lord' in Latin

It means this is the 2010th year of our Lord Christ

A lot of people say it means 'After Death' but that would not make any sense because BC means 'Before Christ'

And if I have this right Jesus is like 40

So it is impossible to grow to 40 in 1 year

Therefore it is illogical to presume that Jesus was born and died in year 0 alone

Gosh dude get your facts right
