Even if the future is the past. (I hate myself for speaking time).

I cant see the future having anything to do with the past. time is a endless line.

Have you checked out my theory somewhere on this topic BP?

This one OK I'll try to tell you my theory. Be warned, it is very hard to explain and you need to beleive or at least know a little bit about fate and destiny: Suppose you wanted to change the present and you go to the past, then you make that change and go back to the present and everything is exactly the same. Why? you might ask, because in this case history is like a story set in stone, it can't be changed. In the past, history has recorded that someone came from the present to make that change, so history has taken all time changes into account so you can't change it. Understand? If not then I'm not surprised, it took me an hour to explain it to some people. Do you need an example that better illustrates my point? Yes, i looked at it while i was digging this topic up. O and i enjoy doing this: No rush here, but I'll probably forget this whole topic. In case yo uhaven't seen it between now and then: The world is existing pretty normally. Then, this computer hacker named Neo is contacted by a guy named Morpheus. Everyone is saying Morpheus is a criminal, but Morph is trying to lead him somewhere. After a few bumps, he is successful, and makes him realize that the world he lives in is fake and run by machines who absor all of our energy to live. He then takes him to a ship, the Nebuchanaazard, where a small resistance force lies. He trains him, but the thing is, it is a computer world that they fight in, so Morph is trying to get him to realize that no rules of physics apply here, so he can do anything. Finally, at the movie's close, as he fights someone, he realizes this, and defeats them. There are two sequels.

That would be so dissorienting trying to realize that the laws of physics are flawed. They work for now and they would be hard to proove wrong. I had to do some searching to remember that we were talking about the Matrix, I should add that to my list of movies to watch.

AS you can see, I am trying to bring back popualr threads. Does anyone else have any other time theories? I have some, but I will wait to see other's first before I put them here. But first, a question. What if, at the brink of death, you went back in time and then you died there? This is similar to the grandfather paradox. And, what would happen if you went back in time and impregnated your great great grandmother?

That would be sick and wrong if you knew. But no, I don't have any time theories, mainly because they hurt my head.

My best guess would be that is you died in the past, you might just die and be known by nobody unless they did a DNA test and informed the family, then that might screw every thing up in ways I can't imagine. As for the second one...I have no idea where to begin to think on that one.

If you died in the past than it would have been as if you had never even existed....
Another thing, not ver much a time theory as an alternate dimension one...
What if, for every choice you made, a new universe came? And if you decided to have toast instead of a bagle for breakfast, the universe in which you had a bagle still exists? And when the choices in the alternate dimension reallign themselves with those of the current dimension, you get Deja vu?

If you died in the past than it would have been as if you had never even existed.... Not true. If you were on the brink of death and then you went back in time in the past, then you would still have existed, as long as you don't do anything to mess up the fabric of time. Because, then, in the future, you would still be born, still live a life, still og back in time, and still die.

If you went back in time and died then, you would have completely erased yourself from existence from every point afterwards. You wouldn't be born again, time would have already adjusted itself to you not have ever being born, so therefore, nothing and no one would ever have been affected by anything you ever did(or didn't) do.

Not if you didn't do anything. Now, if you messed up the time stream, then yes, that could happen (like say you killed your great great grandfather). But if you did absolutely nothing, then your ancestors would still reproduce, leading to you. You would do whatever you did, and it would be an infinite circle.
