I understand your theory perfectly, Mal. In short, what you mean is that when the guy traveled back to the past, history was already intended to be that way, and therefore, cannot be truly changed.

I understand them pretty well, but I don't want to.

Why not? That theory is pretty interesting, something to think about, to be sure. Another thing about time (Though its not really much of a theory, just a real short idea) is the theory that you can't travel to the future to change the past because there is no future yet, its still being written as we speak. Yeah, its really obvious, not much thought to it, and I don't really agree with it anyway.

No, that one makes sense.

I can't make any sense of it either. Yes HP,if that theory were correct, than changes in the timeline are impossible.

Well, what would be creepy is that you travel to the past or future, to find just black if you whent to the future, and just white if you whent to the past. It has to do with Darkmatter and such, and part of ras's theroy. You can go to the past or future, because its already been written or not wirtten. So futre you would just be in a black nothing, and in the apst it would all be white, becuase at some time matter did occupy that space, but its now moved on, and the dark matter has been destroyed.

Well, I think you would be able to go to the past, but the future part of that theory seems reasonable.

Reaonably and creepy. You would not live if that happened.

What Kel is saying is that if you go back in time, you actually kill yourself becuase you wernt suppose to exist during that time.

I don't see how that's possible, but it's an idea.

Time is probably a concept that can't be fully understood. Not yet, at any rate.

All that can truly be understood about time right now is the present. And that there is a past and future.

But who is to know that there is even a future? For all anyone knows, we could be in a loop up until this point and just be repeating. Again, nothing is certain.

But as long as we keep going forward, there is a future.
