Good night, and good luck.

You need to stop Railgunning..

I find that shade offensive to the colorblind..

 

but on a serious note, is it a troll?

I just said it's Patrick Swayze

too soon man, too soon

What about when one is in conflict of riding a semi-mechanical radioactive extinct subspecies of supergoat and a regular goat?

So you're saying that the time travel would occur only through the branch that the time traveller is from and not be able to travel throughout the tree of timelines?

Well that quote from stargate is very off, mostly because no particle can have a known location and velocity (uncertainty principle) and even then, we can only find where the particles will probably be (atomic orbitals if we're talking electrons) so the universe and all the matter in it has a probablility of being pre-determined, but it's all left up to chance (much as the creation of life, if you presume that that theory of earths creation and life's origins is correct). No individual particle, in the entire universe can have a pre-predicted future because of its interaction with all other particles, which is also a game of chance. Also most of the "laws" that we know of physics are typically just theories because they cannot exactly be universally proven in all situations.

The parallel timeline, or "tree" theory is reasonable, but i find it mind boggling that every sentient being (not just human, but any creature that has "free will") making a decision results in a different timeline.. the 11th dimension containing all of them would be immeasurable in size and complexity, and just incapable of being navigated in a reasonable time span (unless you build a time machine in the time machine inside the projection of the fourth dimension to keep a younger version of yourself ready to man the machine, although cryogenic storage of yourself would work too). So, just to clarify, would every decision made by sentient beings (and in this instance, let's say its on another planet), would that decision, affecting the entire universe, create an alternate timeline where nothing has changed for the person in the machine?

The part about being paradox free by not adjusting the current timeline, but creating a new one boggles me as well. In my personal opinion, it would create a sort of paradox on some level, because not only would a new "branch" to the "tree" be created by the decisions made at that exact time that the time traveler enters that "branch" but wouldn't his coming to that location on the timeline also cause it to branch off and possibly his interaction in that time would result in more branches being made (such as the possibility of another time machine being created) causing more connections between the branches (making more of a web like pattern i suppose) and even going back and preventing the specific circumstances in a branch that resulted in the creation of the first time machine, causing the destruction of it, undoing the connecting of branches, causing a paradox perhaps. Yes i realize that made little to no sense.

The subject of changing the branches themselves by intervening with others decisions (and as you brought up, killing and replacing) goes far too much into a philosophical-time travel/alternate universe jumping ethical science that i cannot even begin to fathom.

Only if they're transparent and orange!!

if its a set that i care deeply about (such as my first set Lewa) i buy replacement parts if needed.

.... yeah.

Am I the only one who thinks of Toonami when i read this title?

Is this by chance a Wicker Man reference?

YES YES IT IS

 

 

...

 

 

I have no idea what that is

....

You have failed me.. my son

Is this by chance a Wicker Man reference?

I have nothing else to say at the moment either, strange.. I guess i'll just have to give you a very big and colorful welcome..

WELCOME!

and with that, I hope you have a long and fun journey here in the blogs..

Thats just a waste of perfectly good Dinosaurs..

And now BZP is thinking

with portals

laaaame

umm... federal offense?
