Re: Time Travel, according to an 18 yr old Quantum Physics Student~ (smart kid)
I have had a similar theory of the nature of time and the "timelines" we all exist upon. The best analogy I can generate is to think of a honeycomb of hexagonal cells. The timeline we individually exist on can be thought of as the straight edge of the walls of the hexagon that lead to a "Y" or fork in the road, if you will, that gives us an A or B path decision leading to the next "road" and fork. How we move through time and the events we encounter are dependent upon those decisions. I think we may all have had, at one time or another, the sense that a certain chain of events is relatively certain and there is nothing much we can do to alter the outcome, based on choices we make. What I also think is that the straight lines can be bent, meaning that every miniscule detail of time and the future path we choose is not predetermined, but even when bent, the path must lead to the "fork in the road" where a choice can be made. In a larger picture, all of reality is composed of this three dimensional honeycomb. I theorize that the parrallel cells and paths represent the "alternate reality futures" so many describe. I do believe that there are numerous potential futures that can simultaneously (in a larger context) coexist. When psychic premonitions or future dreams occur, they may be futures that can be avoided by not taking the paths that lead in that direction. Perhaps this is form of cosmic radar that humans possess. When predictions are made that do not come to pass, it does not necessarily mean that premonitory vision does not exist or that the psychic nature is a hoax. It may simply mean that we are forewarned sufficiently to avoid that path. As far as my take on time travel, I have always thought that travelling into the future would not pose any paradoxes to our "now" existence. I believe that regressive time travel may be possible, but limited to events that do not contradict anything in our "now" existence. I find it very reasonable to assert that opening a portal to [I]view[I] past events in a non perturbative way would pose no problems nor create paradoxes. Anyway, that's just my two cents worth
