Articulate a shocking truth.

Spoiler: the truth. maybe.

Oh this is not about you? "whoops"

... Yet another reason to keep you away from that girl!

OT:

Spoiler: SUPER AMAZING TRUTH

English is a stupid language. No second person plurals? What were they thinking?

Clearly you don't speak black.

I think you mean Ebonics. Actual people from Africa have their own languages that exist independent of English.

Make sure you spoiler it, here is mine.

If time travel were possible someone would have stopped Hitler from coming to power. Also, time travel results in contradictions. If someone goes back in time to stop Hitler from rising to power, the time traveler would never have heard of Hitler so he would have never gone back in time to stop him from rising to power. So then Hitler would rise to power so the time traveler would go back in time to stop him. So Hitler both would and would not rise to power, and the time traveler both would and would not have prevented him from coming to power, which is absurd.

Spoiler: Consider this;

If you go back in time in the future then you have already went back in time and tried to change it, failing in doing so. As time passes, you have the same thoughts your future self thought and try to go back in time and change an event. But, the actions you take have little to no effect, if anything they assist in making the event happen meaning that there is no changing the past. All actions you ever do in the past have already happened and have led to the event (or others) occurring in the first place.

You paradox is therefore not a paradox at all, but a simple impossibility... as I believe anyway.

Trivun brought up an interesting point about this, as did Sewblon. The idea that as we change the past we create a entirely new universe is a one that has piqued my interests, but only my interests. Mainly due to the idea that all past and future occurrences have already occurred. Sewblon's idea that we can't sense the changes is also rather interesting; if the past has changed, how would we know? We certainly wouldn't remember the other present we lived in, for it never happened.

However, Sewblon's leads into the whole idea of perception and what we recognise as our universe could be nothing at all. This could be expanded into it's own thread... I might do that later tonight, in fact.

The truth is that Time-Travel will be possible. Someday.

Ahh, touche.

(Can't do the accent on the "e")

Hold down Alt, then on your number pad, the one on the right side, mind you, type in 138. Release Alt. Yay! It's one of those little things that makes doing online spanish homework that much easier. I still despise spanish though..

Shocking truths.. Uhh.. Having trouble thinking of 'shocking' and not 'bleak.' Hm..too much trouble.

Why thank you. I used to know some of those, but I haven't had Spanish since last semester, so I forgot alot of them.

We experience decision making every day of our lives, if that isn't evidence for freewill, what is?

Spoiler

Your brain lies to you every second you open your eyes. It falsely creates the impression that you don't have a blind spot in each eye, but in fact, you do. Similarly, your brain fools you into thinking that you have free will. Studies have shown that people often do something, and then later decide that they consciously wanted to do something. In fact, they performed the action before they actually decided to do it. Free will is an illusion, although as a corollary, it should be pointed out that you'd behave the same way if you somehow managed to violate the laws of physics and have free will

.

Oh my gosh it wasn't even my choice to go "wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?!" D:
I am at school and say "Do we have free will? or it genes that dictate our brain and therefore our life" They are like
wut?
But now I know the truth... how traumatizing

The truth is that Time-Travel will be possible. Someday.

But if that's true, then why hasn't anyone from the future come back to our time?

Because they would know the consequence of interacting with people or even being sighted in the 'present.' If they did, we wouldn't know.

Ahh, touche.

For the last time I am not touching you anywhere

There was some depressing shit in this thread.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.
