yeah, time is one of those endlessly enthralling things that can make one's head spin if you think about it too long. It's dangerous to mess with it.

me too haha, i think i'll settle for reading 'Airman' while I wait.

Indeed xD What could happen if one went back in time and changes something is dizzying to think about...or wait, if it's in the past, hasn't it already happened? So would the future remain unaltered, or if something DOES change, what would happen to the person sent back in time? If the reality they came from no longer exists, how could they have gone back in time?

/watched too much Back to the Future

Airman? What's that? xD

and according to fate, everything must happen for a reason, hence time travel is meant to happen, and yet it is such a complete anomoly that once one goes back in time the very fabric of reality is shifted and the present is completely changed, the whole world as you once knew it will be different.

'Airman' is Eoin Colfer's new novel...or the one he worked on between 'Artemis Fowl, Time Paradox' and the new Hitchiker's novel he completed (a series I still have to explore, I feel i will not have lived until after I do).

also, my apologies for taking up so much room, i should stop this bad habit of mine.

Aaaand that just made my head spin xD

But then again, how can time travel happen? Once you travel to the past, no matter what you do your presence alters reality, even in just small ways, destroying the future you came from. It's a double negative, because if you destroy your present, you can't go to the past because you no longer exist. The second timetravel is in effect you would cease to exist. (I think I stopped making sense even to myself)

=O How have I NOT heard about this? I shall go book-hunting >.<;;;

What room? Cyberspace is endless xD

ah, there's the question. according to scientists, Time Travel can't possibly exist. It's impossible for beings to go back in time--travel faster than the speed of light and not be torn apart into atoms by the speed. Existence is flawed because once you tweak something, even if you were born still in the reality you had, once you go back in time or even forward in time, things will still be different. Unless the tweak is meant to happen, therefore its a giant circle that is meant to happen as without a shift in reality, the present will not have a future.

see, it's a confusing, reality shifting anomoly like a four dimensional world.

haha, there might or might not be an excerpt in the back of your copy of 'Time Paradox' my copy had it, but yours might not. either way it's Eoin Colfer and he's outstanding.

Or maybe, like the new Star Trek movie, it will simply create an alternate reality where the timetraveler becomes part of that new reality without erasing his or her knowledge of what used to be, and without him or her disappearing due to the lack of a past (our would-be future).

I don't remember seeing an excerpt >.<; /goes to check

=O There IS one!!! /flails

I even read it too, my memory is failing meeee >.<;;;;

i think all of them are tied together, alternate reality, time, fate, life itself. but then how do you know if the alternate reality is, indeed, alternate?

i skipped over it because i have the book and it would be redundant to just reread the same thing in five minutes time, but you should read it and get hooked :D

yeonah January 10 2010, 22:19:59 UTC
True. We could be living in an alternate reality right now. Or, our reality could be changing right now as we speak. But as non-participants in the timetraveling process, we would never know the difference.

I am hooked xD Now I just need to finish the books I already have so my parents won't natter when I go to buy this one 8D

how do you know you're a nonparticipant?perhaps in the future you go back in time and therefore change something and that is what created the reality that exists now.

interesting anomaly. who knows when the very fabric of the gentle reality that is formed now is ripped.

lol, finishing books is always a good thing. i should stop my extracurricular reading though, i have classes tomorrow.

yeonah January 10 2010, 22:45:23 UTC
But then you would still be a non-participant, because you've altered the future and in this future you might not go back in time ^-^

Maybe we'll just all implode or something from too much messing with reality.

You can still read while classes are going on xDDD
