Good answer, but here's my impression:The_root_of_all_evil said:Number of ways to solve that.FrostyV3 said:______________________________________________
Here is the paradox.
- If you destroy it; then it would not exist in the future to send you the message to destroy it.
- So you wouldn't destroy it; so it would exist in the future.
- So this is a never-ending cycle.
1) There was another machine built. You can't really stop scientific progress. (And putting restraints on the human world never works)
2) The letter wasn't from you.
3) You're eliminated from the time-stream as a paradox.
4) You can't send the letter to yourself from non-intervention.
5) It might not have been the first time.
6) You might not be able to destroy the machine.
Applying set unbreakable rules to disprove something is Marketing, not Science.
1) Fair enough, but in this scenario it is supposed that another will never be made.
2) It would not matter who sent the message; the focus matter is the machine, not the operator.
3) Interesting theory, I wont argue it.
4) Apologies, but I don't understand this point.
5) Apologies, but I don't understand this point.
6) We're assuming that you were able to break the machine. One would assume that something this complicated could be compromised easily enough.
