What I thought of

[pdiggitydogg]

A few years ago I read a book by astro-physisist Michi Okaku.
The book explained about wormholes, time travel, energy barriers, phaser beams, faster than light travel, fusion reaction power, and all that stuff that most believe to be science fiction. He proclaimed it all to be "science future".

One thing that I have been thinking about lately is time travel based on alternate dimensions, loops, and time seen as a river or street w/ many avenues, caldesacs, and loops.

Ok, take this idea that has been my thoughts of this afternoon:

Lets say that, in the future, time travel is possible (just go w/ me on this). Through a controlled portal/tear a person jumps to a certain point on the current time-line's past. (Red line)


Through the traveler's actions time is changed; creating a separate parallel universe. (Green line)

However, the original line continues - since it had to, in order for the traveler to exist in the first place. (The Red Line continuation)

Due to the traveler's action on the event, there could be an infinite number of universes also created due to any number of actions that resulted from the change (represented by the blue line...that there should be more of..but I didnt draw)

So...if that is the case, and that becomes possible, wouldnt it make sense that the world we know it is not as it has always been? Even if a point was changed, by said traveller, we wouldnt know it because the event's outcome was changed. We become part of the parallel universe and that is just how it has been, is, and forever will be....at least on our time-line
If the past is changed, we'd never know it. "we'd never say "where's bob?" If bob never existed.

People say "if there is time travel in the future...why arent there any people proclaiming themselves to be time-travellers?" The answer to that is easy. Those people get locked up in insane asylums or jail, marked as terrorists. That makes sense. I mean if someone came up to me and said "Im from the future; dont go to work today, there will be an accident" Id think they were nuts. Then, after I go to work and have the accident I'd think that person had something to do w/ it and I would have that person taken to jail (given the accident being something man-created, I mean.......think 9/11).
-
So now lets think to civilizations. Some say similarities of civilizations 1/2 way across the world are alien related (south america and egypt). What if it were a time traveller who did it? Dropped a picture, a hint, something. Im not big on that one...just something I thought of writing this.
-
Finally I'll say: What if people from the future, who travelled through time, were the cause of some of the most curious things on earth?
Dinosaurs didnt die of a meteor...they died of sickness from humans (like indians) and the craters were there from earth's creation?
What if we lost ww2 and time was changed by a rebel?
What if everything we know it as now, isnt how it was or how its supposed to be?

Time's a fun thing to think about. At least it is when I have nothing to do @ work. So, Im not crazy...just bored w/ lots of time ( )
