If time travel were to exist, which theory would you subscribe to?
If time travel were to exist, which theory would you subscribe to?
Some ideas are:
- You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
- You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
- Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
- Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
- something else entirely

1 1 ReplyNope.
1 1 ReplyOkay. What did I say about gravity wells?
1 1 ReplyYou implied that life would be more terrifying the faster you traveled through time, like what would happen at the bottom of a gravity well.
2 2 ReplyWhere?
1 1 ReplyIn your original comment I replied to.
1 1 ReplyWell, that was not the intended message to convey.
Can you quote the part that gives you that impression? I'd like the chance to fix or clarify it.
1 1 ReplyIt's the last sentence.
1 1 ReplyBasically, time is your body’s sensation of the inevitable terror that is the heatdeath of the universe.
This doesn't appear to pertain to gravity wells.
1 1 ReplyWhat happens to the rate at which you travel through time as you approach the bottom of a gravity well?
1 1 ReplyYes, I know how special relativity relates space and time together, and that gravity is a warping of space, but I don't see how this matters in the context of my comment.
