The ability of time travel w/o causing ripples or catastrophic chain reactions thus defeating the time travel paradox.With this ability I could travel back to predestined times/dates/years & alter the course that lead up to the untimely death of loved ones.Godspeed!Cy :smile:


Why would you cause a time ripple? If you were to go back in time then the present would already be affected by the fact that in the future you will go back in time so nothing would change.
That being said you could never change the present by trying to change the past because the present would already take into account anything you did in the past. You could travel to the future and see what happens and change it possibly. Seeing that you travel into a future where you don't have your knowledge of the future yet.

Hi!Chazster;)I'm pleased to meet you btw.I've always been intrigued by time travel so needless to say I loved the Terminator movies 1-3,however they dropped the ball sadly w/ #4;( There are some other great time travel flicks also that I've enjoyed.I posted the Grandfather paradox below also.However the question remains what if scientists were able to circumnavigate around this paradox via the parallel time line thus allowing the traveler to alter the future & save his loved ones from untimely death or great leaders,musicians,etc.I hope the OP does not mind my multiple posts.Thx!for posting on this thread.Godspeed!Cy :smile: drinker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The grandfather paradox is a proposed paradox of time travel first described (in this exact form) by the science fiction writer René Barjavel in his 1943 book Le Voyageur Imprudent (The Imprudent Traveller).[1] Nevertheless, similar (and even more mind-boggling) paradoxes had already been described, for instance by Robert A. Heinlein in "By His Bootstraps". The paradox is this: suppose a man travelled back in time and killed his biological grandfather before the latter met the traveller's grandmother. As a result, one of the traveller's parents (and by extension the traveller himself) would never have been conceived. This would imply that he could not have travelled back in time after all, which means the grandfather would still be alive, and the traveller would have been conceived allowing him to travel back in time and kill his grandfather. Thus each possibility seems to imply its own negation, a type of logical paradox.

Despite the name, the grandfather paradox does not exclusively regard the impossibility of one's own birth. Rather, it regards any action that makes impossible the ability to travel back in time in the first place. The paradox's namesake example is merely the most commonly thought of when one considers the whole range of possible actions. Another example would be using scientific knowledge to invent a time machine, then going back in time and (whether through murder or otherwise) impeding a scientist's work that would eventually lead to the very information that you used to invent the time machine.An equivalent paradox is known (in philosophy) as autoinfanticide, going back in time and killing oneself as a baby.

The grandfather paradox has been used to argue that backwards time travel must be impossible. However, a number of possible ways of avoiding the paradox have been proposed, such as the idea that the timeline is fixed and unchangeable, the idea that the time traveller will end up in a parallel timeline, while the timeline in which the traveller was born remains independent or the possibility of the time traveller saving his grandfather's life instead of killing him so that he could later be born and travel back in time so that he could save his grandfather's life, exactly the opposite of the original paradox.spock

Another paradox similar to that was developed by Stephen Hawking in his TV Documents, Episode 2 in 2010 series, Into The Universe With Stephen Hawking. According to the paradox, a young scientist travels into the past one minute with a time machine he just built. With him he took a gun and killed his past self that was loading the gun, instantly killing him. The question is though, who fired the shot? The loop stays open with the person being dead who fired the shot. According to the theory however, there is always a cause before an effect saying that the future man is a copy of the past man, meaning he killed a different person.spock
