theory / question Imagine there’s a knock at your door late at night. You open it. And it’s you standing there. What would your reaction be?

I think it would terrifying. The person would be you, but from a different time, maybe not too far in the future or past, they’d quickly say things to make them know it’s you and not a long lost twin or something. I think it would be stunning in a very scary way. As far as I know, no one has ever experienced such a thing.

theory / question If you time travelled to June 25, 2009, would you like to save Michael Jackson?

5 Upvotes

On June 25, 2009, American singer Michael Jackson died of acute propofol intoxication in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 50. His personal physician, Conrad Murray, said that he found Jackson in his bedroom at his North Carolwood Drive home in the Holmby Hills area of the city not breathing and with a weak pulse; he administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to no avail, and security called 911 at 12:21 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (UTC–7). Paramedics treated Jackson at the scene, but he was pronounced dead at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre in Westwood at 2:26 p.m.

theory / question If you time travelled to November 30, 2013, would you like to save Paul Walker from, car crash?

0 Upvotes

Paul William Walker IV (September 12, 1973 – November 30, 2013) was an American actor. He was best known for his role as Brian O'Conner in the Fast & Furious franchise (2001–2015). On November 30, 2013, at about 3:30 p.m. PST, Walker, 40, and Roger Rodas, 38, left an event for Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan, with Rodas driving his red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. Traveling between 80 mph (130 km/h) and 93 mph (150 km/h) in a 45 mph (72 km/h) speed zone on Hercules Street in Valencia, a neighborhood of Santa Clarita, California, Rodas lost control of the car, which crashed into a concrete lamp post and two trees, catching fire within seconds after impact. Forensic evidence indicated that both men were knocked unconscious by the impact. Rodas died instantly from multiple traumatic injuries, while Walker died within seconds from the combined effects of trauma and burns. Both bodies were burned beyond recognition. The curve where Walker and Rodas died is a popular spot for drifting cars. No alcohol or other drugs were found in either man's system, and neither mechanical failure nor road conditions appeared to play a role. Police found no evidence of drag racing. The investigation concluded that the car’s speed and the age of its tires were the primary causes of the crash. With Furious 7 in the middle of filming at the time of Walker's death, Universal announced an indeterminate hiatus on the production, citing a desire to speak with his family before determining how to proceed with the film.

When you time stop you see everyone frozen but from the eyes of the other people you will just appear in another place but what REALLY HAPPENS when someone stop time for a really long amount of time??? Do they still do the things they were doing or something else happens?

theory / question Time for Life Forms

2 Upvotes

Obviously all of my social media algorithms are about conspiracy theories and aliens and time travel and fringe topics. One was just about quantum physics and how time isn't linear and a straight line, but something that folds in on itself. And that got me thinking. We (humans) aren't the only form of life on earth. We are, according to our own view point, the most intelligent form of life. I think human's are the universes conciosusness. Just like the thoughts that form in a mind, we are those neurons firing and interacting within this reality, for the universe itself. The universe being the body or the brain, and we, the thoughts, in real time. With that being side, I try and think of how time travel and these concepts, are interpreted by other living beings, like animals. A tiger or a wolf could never consciously interpret these concepts or dive deeper into more meaning with research or data or findings or theories. And to me that is fascinating. That they simply exist in their own reality that could never be altered to the degree it could be for human's if we discovered time travel. They would just be along for the ride? And maybe perhaps, we are just along for the ride of some other concept we can't comprehend. We come close to understanding what those sort of concepts would be. At one point humans thought earth was the center of the universe. Then the sun was. Then we discovered there are other universes and galaxies out there. Now we believe that our one, could be spiraling through space, around something else, and not just at a fixed position. Another stark difference for us as humans, we advance our understanding, whereas animals, and plants, and other life forms, seem to remain stagnant in their intelligence. More simple minded. Eat, reproduce, and protect offspring, carry on the cycle. We do this, along with a fuck ton of other insanely complex items. Like building cities or curing disease's or exploring the stars.

hey parallel universes doesnt exist and ...we say smhow time machines is built then grandpa paradox and lots of nuisances like how w e living the present...and if we change tthe past what happens to the future...the thing is acc to me...it has happened and that doent go ahead it stops literally stops like a tree branch,,and starts grkwing from anther....like literally living twice..thats ur whole timeline.,...bcoz u have conciousness and the moment u leave ur universe...it means no one is there like u there...so its just a different place and u r out of it..simply like leaving canada and coming to germany...the only loop hole here is...those are not different places...it just stops like statue.....

but qn...what happens to people memories..is one person capable of erasing everyones memories??maybe..if that intelligent person exist enough to build time machine then why not restart univ...mmhmm,,,so we just imagining things ig..

0 Upvotes

We could have everyone who did think of that idea to be able to join in on a time machine adventure.

Each planet may have had someone who also thought of the same idea.

They couldn't have thought of it through consciousness ESP communications.

There would be an absolute first being to thought of it. Then there's the first within each planet before we go around sitting the idea and plan. They have that much time to think of it without cheating.

theory / question I'm not a Time Traveler or so I think.

11 Upvotes

I've seen some pretty weird things that suggest a time traveler might be involved in my timeline at some point in the future.

I've got more than enough instances where something has interfered with what I saw happening in real time that completely changed the experience that happened in the real world.

I was in a car accident with my girlfriend, and the roof of the car was sheared off along with her head, the roof hit my seat and caused it to collapse with me lying flat out and missing everything.

Then, just as I had seen the truck that hit us pass over, I was back sitting straight up again and looking at the headlights coming at us again except this time the truck went straight sideways and rolled over so many times it ended up back over at the same place it left the road.
No reason, it just went straight sideways from a speed of about 60 MPH to straight to the right and no more forward motion could be detected, it all went straight to the right and killing five people that were in it. No reason.

In August of 1978, I watched the entire earth and everything on it come to a complete stop, except the sky which smeared itself off into infinity and with it everything above eight inches from the ground. then it got very quiet and when the sky had stretched itself far enough, it all came back, froze for a moment, and then everything started again.

I watched the first shuttle explosion in 1983.

In 1985 an incident happened at my school involving a teacher whose class I was in and not very fond of. The day it happened she left school early because as the principal and his secretary explained to us the situation involved two streams of water appeared in the main office out of nowhere and followed that teacher around getting her wet as if two people were urinating on her. No one could see where the urine was coming from only that it appeared out of thin air.

I watched the second shuttle disassemble in 1997.

I'm not really wanting to debate the merits of what I'm telling you so that you'll believe me because that's not going to happen. I know exactly what I've seen, and it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, I'm not looking for absolution I'm looking for answers and hoping maybe someone has had a similar experience.

So, here's my questions:

Is it possible I'm the time traveler in the future?

Is it possible the time traveler is someone else that's found the need to involve himself in my existence here?

Are there any other possibilities?

theory / question On Time Travel

0 Upvotes

If a time machine were ever actually invented, I believe the most logical method—one that avoids the Grandfather Paradox—would be for only consciousness to travel, not the physical body. Furthermore, the consciousness could only travel to a time when the individual actually existed; for instance, if someone was born in May 1977, they absolutely could not travel back to 1976 or April 1977, as they did not exist then. Upon arrival, the consciousness would retain memories only up to that specific point in time, with no knowledge of the future. For example, if the person was debating whether to go to an internet café or grab a meal, they would still be weighing those same options and following their original path after the jump. There would be absolutely no possibility of altering one's destiny in extraordinary ways—such as founding Tesla before Elon Musk or getting rich overnight by knowing winning lottery numbers in advance.

I believe that if time machines are invented in the future, there is a 1,000% chance they will be used for this kind of travel.

theory / question Can time prevent paradoxes without preventing time travel?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about the grandfather paradox, and I have my own theory.
I believe time travel to the past could be possible, and a traveller could interact with the past and even die there. However, time itself would prevent the traveller from changing events in a way that would make their own time-travel journey impossible.
For example, if I travelled from 2026 to 1950 and my grandfather killed me there, that could still be possible because I had already been born and had already made the journey. But if my grandfather tried to kill my two-year-old self in 2005, time would somehow prevent that outcome if it meant I could never grow up and invent time travel.
In other words, time protects the cause of the journey, not necessarily the traveller.
Does this theory make logical sense? What flaws do you see in it, and is there a scientific or philosophical theory similar to it?

theory / question My Variable Outcome Theory (VOT)

2 Upvotes

Imagine for a moment and you figure out that time travel is impossible with a device because it’s entirely science fiction, but travelling through time and space through a bridge of some kind within time is possible. Think about this for a moment. What if we could channel, learn how to control and clean our minds and only think of one thing, time travel?

I believe we are put on this world for multiple reasons, and this is one of those reasons. I’ve asked myself the question what if we are not alone in the universe? Maybe, just maybe the only thing we cannot see is the variable outcomes that have occurred throughout time. For example, we make a decision and that generates the outcome. What seems like a small decision someone makes will generate a bigger outcome. So, we see the outcomes, we experience the after-effect, the chain-reaction and that’s it. However, we always think of the variables. Why? Why do we do that?

We think what could’ve been, what we could’ve done different, and why we made the choice in the first place. That is where my variable outcome theory comes in. The trail of decisions that could have been for us that we only thought of because hesitancy got in the way, went to our potential variables minds, and they made their choices that we wish we could’ve made. In a potential time, someone, any of us in the world, a spark of someone’s free will was transferred to a variant. So, what does that mean? It means our souls are branching every time we make a decision. Sometimes those branches overlap, creating Déjà vu or a a spiritual echo from a variant.

theory / question What’s your take on the relationship between time travel, determinism, and free will?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been down a major rabbit hole thinking about how time travel interacts with determinism and human agency.

Different sci-fi tropes handle this in completely different ways:

Novikov’s Self-Consistency Principle / Closed Loops: The past is unchangeable. Whatever you do in the past already happened and leads to the present (e.g., Dark, Predestination). This feels strictly deterministic—if you literally can't do otherwise, do you actually have free will, or just the illusion of choice?

Multiverse / Branching Timelines: Every time you go back and change something, you create a new timeline (e.g., Back to the Future, Marvel's Quantum Realm). This seems to preserve free will and choice, but it turns time travel into universe-hopping rather than altering your past.

Dynamic / Erasable Timelines: You change the past, and your original present shifts or collapses around you.

Philosophically, if a closed-loop scenario is true, does knowing the future strip away free will, or is free will just the act of making a choice regardless of whether the outcome was already set in stone?

Where do you land on this? Which sci-fi interpretation makes the most logical sense to you, and how do you reconcile it with the concept of free will?
