Time Travel

[Steamlord]

Here's a fun theory: what if time is auto-correcting? Perhaps that inspiration you got from nowhere was actually supposed to be a time traveler from the future telling you something, but he hasn't visited you yet.... in the past. So time fills in the discrepancy with "inspiration" until he arrives in his own personal timeline.

I don't even know.

Maybe that idea is itself an "inspiration" from a time traveler.

Which seems to imply that there are no original thoughts.

That was one, too.

Heres a little mindfuck for you.


If you went back in time and killed your father so that you wouldn't be born. Then you wouldn't exist. Thus making it so you wouldn't go back in time to kill your father in the first place. So then you would still be alive right?

Yea, I knew it was Grandfather. I just changed it to Father. I thought that made more sense.

Here's one ... assuming the possibility of time-travel, this means that time is relative, that all people and things have their own individual timeline. For instance, if I am going to go back in time, traversing backwards along the universe's timeline, that will be my future.

This is my theory.

If you went back in time and killed your father so that you wouldn't be born. Then you wouldn't exist. Thus making it so you wouldn't go back in time to kill your father in the first place. So then you would still be alive right?

I went back in time and posted something like this before you.

As small as this thread is, I didn't feel like reading the posts.

Good job going back in time though.
