Elysian Shadows

It's all just a matter of time....one single brush of a germ off of a leaf...could change the course of history and time itself forever....but hey....at least you get some good breakfast eggs, right!

The odds that changing something that small would create massive changes in the future is very low. Things are too random for that to happen.

I know...but I like to make people think and actually do something with their life.....that's a lie...

All I'm saying is...it could have some changes....I, too, doubt it would mean massive changes. But the fact that you're gonna go back 5000 years before dinosaurs were extinct....well...would guns really help at that point? You're gonna need a lot of ammo for that one...believe it or not...but that probably wouldn't be a video game like atmosphere.

Plus...you'd probably have a really hard time obtaining the eggs...unless you somehow manage to kill the parents while they're watching over them...and by then you'd probably know whether or not the dino in the egg is a carnivore or not...

I don't know...I probably wouldn't want to go back to the dino era...just doesn't interest me....I'd probably go to the end of the world and laugh at everyone while I tell them I can go back in time with my time machine and I won't bring them with me.

Or maybe it could help the world with the eggs and going back in time when theuy hatch they could help carry heavy stuff or something like that and we could train them and also we could bring ancient extinct plants that could cure diseases.Also with the time machine I would send an army back in time and help in world war 2 and I would try to get Adolf Hitler arrested and captured before he kills himself so then he would suffer.

True...but then it would be that Adolf Hitler wouldn't have killed himself and he really would have been arrested...then in the future you wouldn't have been prompted to bring back an army to make sure Hitler didn't kill himself...thus forth creating a paradox and quite possibly the end of the world.....or Krispy Kreme Donuts...not really sure how that one would go...

Uhhh...How could that end the world?????????I don't mean to be an ass I just want to know how it can.Also it sounds more like saving the world because you find multible cures with the ancient plants that we could grow and also the army made the war esier to win and the army brings more advanced technoligy and the president asks how we got the weapons. Also we teach the scientists how to make the 20th centary technoligy Adolf Hitlar gets tortured for what he did, and also we would have technoligy the about 70 years aheads today.

Yeah...I was joking about the end of the world stuff. But if you send an army to stop him from committing suicide...then you would never have learned that Hitler had committed suicide, therefore you wouldn't have the notion to send an army back in time to stop him. Therefore because you didn't send an army...Hitler still commits suicide...it just turns out to be one endless cycle.

About these paradoxs. I almost have a mind to say they are impossible. I mean, they wouldn't occur if you really think about it. If you go back in time and keep Hitler alive... then you went back in time and kept him alive. It's not like time has error handling capabilities. It just keeps going, no matter what's going on. So... I don't know, it depends on how time behaves, which I think is relative. Does time even exist? A hard question.

OOOh! Now we're thinking with our noodle! Good question...

Time exists only as a system of measurement.

I've been thinking a lot about this time deal.

Completely agree. And if true, a time machine is simply impossible.

Because it's impossible. It's the same principal with none-human organisms. Yes, I will answer your poll, since you asked so nicely.

Nothing's impossible. Also, back up your claims.

What would you guys do if you had time machine that can take you to the past and the future?

Go back to 1600's England and make fun of them for being British.

I'd go back to the time when my mom and dad are 'doing it' to have me and spank my dad in the ass while saying, " *DOOSH* I'm your son from the future! *maniacal laughter*. *DOOSH* I'm from the future! I'm your son! *maniacal laughter*."
