Quick, There's No Time To Explain!

Well first I stop to admire how amazing I look. Then I follow myself and to discover how I get a laser gun in the remaining 30 seconds.
Clearly the only appropriate response is to ask "If you're me from the future then why don't you look like Bruce Willis?" then go on about my business.
I would turn around and walk the other way. If my future self has a laser gun that means that some type of violence is most likely about to happen and I don't want to be involved in that. Plus, I wouldn't trust someone that says they are from nine minutes in the future and already have advanced technology even if they are me.
Depends on which time travel laws you are using. Either killing your future self creates an unstoppable paradox loop where you are destined to always go back and kill yourself, or an alternate time line where you made the choice to kill your future self and one where you didn't. I can really think of any other options at the moment (it's early in the morning!)Lt._nefarious said:I'm pretty confident all types of time travel have the rule of if you kill your future self or they kill you, you are more or less fucked but then again all I know about time travel is what I learned from the Butterfly Effect, Looper and a Lost box set...Aylaine said:I realize that there are many, many different types of time travel.Lt._nefarious said:
The question is, which one are you talking about?
Hello thereAylaine said:
I would not trust that person unless they looked exactly like me and had a pair of futuristic goggles and a laser gun for me. Because if they don't look exactly like me (a different hair style is allowed) they're probably not me and it's BS, and if they do, but don't have a pair of goggles and a laser gun for me, I'm going to die if I follow them. Because they will have gotten the equipment from the future me that came back for them, I'm going to have to get the equipment from the future me that has come back for me (I know this because the future me has one set of goggles and gun and I would treasure that s***), and the next present me will be retrieving his equipment from my corpse, ie. I'm going to die in less than 9 minutes. If he has two sets, then there's a possibility he only needed me for a little while, then he continues living his future life 9 minutes ahead of me and I get present me who is 9 minutes behind me, we do whatever I was needed for, and I continue living my life in the time stream I started in.
That said, I would probably not have the luxury of forethought, so if they looked like me I'd follow and if they didn't I might anyway out of curiosity or more likely wouldn't because I have somewhere to go.

Back away.
Very slowly.
And then take a run up and fly kick that devilishly handsome sonofabitch.

Great my evil twin from the future is back again... and it looks like he's learned to shave!
Take his gun and shoot him till all the there's not even a pile of ash.

I'd kill him, steal his laser and goggles. Then realizing I would die in less than 9 minutes, I would go back in time, tell my old self to follow me and that there wasn't time to explain. I would then kill him to stop him killing me.
Yup, 9 minute.Ytomyth said:It's been stated before but yeah; 9 minutes? xD
Also, if I can safely decide it's me I'll follow him. I trust myself.
Think about it; hostile aliens could have invaded in 2 minutes, you kill one and steal there laser gun in 3 minutes, find a dead space marine and steal his goggles in 5, find the alien time machine in 7 and go back in time at 9 minutes. Simple.
