Time Travel

[Anglorfin]

I think fundamental flaw in this essay is that the author hints slightly upon the parallel universes theory. (Reader beware, this may become a bit technical.)

It is widely accepted that the basic law of the universe, E=mc^2 relates to all dimensions. This one equation puts all things in the universe into perspective, and also makes them relative and in many cases interchageable.

There are actually three stated constants here; Energy, Mass, and the speed of light in a vacuum. The first two are true because of the Law of Conservation of Mass, Energy, and Momentum. The third is true because it is accepted as the universal constant.

We were hopefully all taught in chemistry that each reaction emits some form of energy or matter. Then keeping in mind the balance that the LoCoMEM gives us, wouldn't it be possible to travel back in time provided that there would be some type of compensation for the additional mass traveling to another time zone? Likely in the form of heat, light, and/or sound. Just as in a chemical reaction.

So getting into the parallel universe part, suppose a person does travel back in time. This SHOULD of course violate the laws of space-time because this person would be creating paradoxes, but suppose those can be explained away by the creation of numerous other parallel universes. Using our own universe as a reference point, suppose somebody went back in time and killed Hitler, thus altering the future as we have come to know it. That doesn't change the fact that whether or not a person came back in time he MAY OR MAY NOT have killed Hitler. That is a branch right there. Who is to say that in other universes there haven't been countless other cruel dictators INSTEAD of Hitler. We just happen to be living in a universe where Hitler was not shot, but perhaps somebody else from some other country was . . . thus eliminating that thread from the progression of our own universe. All in all the presence of the multiple universe theory brings a lot to the table concerning time travel. If any event creates countless other universes, then who is to say that a paradox cannot be solved, because the outcome would be different in different universes both equally REAL.


I hope I have explained well enough to at least make some sense. Keep in mind all of this is speculation and half a rebuttal of the essay.
