I'm with doubler here. Time doesn't exist, it's just a concept to clarify things up a bit. If you could ask a, lets say, slug, about time, it wouldn't understand. There is only to be or not to be, not past, present or future.

I don't believe in that time paradox thing and how it could make the universe collapse; if someone ever invents a time machine, that's probably being a part of what is supposed to happen; if that person travels to the past and does something there which even terminates his own existence, then maybe that was what was supposed to happen, and the line of time will adapt - maybe someone else in the new time line invents the same machine and travels back to do the same thing. Even the smallest change in the past could have catastrophic consequences in the present - just imagine a time traveller taking one of our "modern" diseases (like for example aids) and spreading it 200 years ago.

(by the way thats also what i meant with my first case)

I believe if you went back in time and killed your own grandfather, several things would happen, only two of which I can suggest;

1. In killing your grandfather, you would cease to exist in this reality.

But, if your grandfather died, you would never have existed in the first place. If so, then who killed your grandfather?

Why? I cant imagine why that would be so bad. I think i would be like "What the Hell?" but as long as he doesnt kill me so he cant travel in the past so he cant kill me... l0l you know, i dont see where the problem is.

well apperantly even if you meet someone who look sincredibly like you it can cause deep psychological disturbance, because you actually never see yourself. mirros are only reflection (sides are changed)

If time travel is soemthing that's invented in the future would we not see time travelers today, taking a visit to our time? Let's say they have a "keep it low profile" codex, would not at least on of them make a mistake or something like that? And there would be millions of time travelers because more to the future you go, time traveling would probably be more widespread among common people.

The time travel could be useful in some ways. If you could travel trought time, you could check if any disasters would happen, then you can prevent them in the future.

Could time travelling also answer to the big question: Why?

Cats hate water.
Dogs usually swim.
Cats don't play fetch.
Dogs retrieve items such as bones or sticks from playing fetch.

WAKE UP CALL!

1. Time is something invented by swiss ppl so they have an excuse to sell us clocks and watches, before the swiss did this we had the sun and the moon to show us "the time"

2. With the invention of time came stress. that's right, STRESS :wallbash: the #1 reason for burnouts and such. things like "OMFG i'm late for work" and "WTF it's X past XX already?" (replace x with any given number) I.E. not the best invention ever.

3. The possibility that timetravel will be abused is ******* HUGE! Approx 70% of the survivors of the 2nd world war will attempt to go back in time to kill the bastard (hitler) himself. Bloodwrath is imminent, killing the murderer of your husband / child etc. total chaos will emerge and the world will slowly but surely crumble into nothingness.

4. Who in his right mind would go back in time to kill his/her own grandfather?!?!?

5. EVERYBODY will try to go back in time to "prevent this mistake from ever happening". Chaos is, once again, very imminent.

6. (the first positive thing) you can try and stop the swiss from "inventing" time, effectively changing Timetravel to Whatevertravel.

7. yes indeed, there will be numerous time clashes (Timecop, Cycles of dawn, Groundhog day, etc.) In the end, the fabric of time will not be able to coop and the universe will end.

I hereby rest my case. k:
Shoot me if you will.
