Time-travel Paradoxes! — the discussion since 2014

John,

I have some questions for when a copy of yourself returns.

Did the 6 other travelers enter this timeline with you? Have any of them interacted with people online?

Are you stating that you can return to the exact timeline you left with zero divergence and no extra copy of yourself?

Was the 177th the true name of your team, or does it have another meaning?

Were you at all surprised by any technological advances of this time (2014) or have you seen it all before?

Do you know the actual shape of the multiverse?

If you are willing to discuss: Have you or your team members sent clues or messages to each other via other means such as books?

Some people believe that gravity manipulation would take an enormous amount of power that we wouldn’t be able to generate. Is this true? If so, how do you account for this?

What are your thoughts on the recent (September 2014) claim that black holes have been disproven mathematically?

when people talk about time travel they always forget the earth moon and stars are moving. while you would remain in one place. even after a few seconds of time travel you would reappear thousands of miles away from the earth in space. or in the center of the earth.

I’m sure the time travel technology would account for that mathematically.

could explain the erratic behavior of ufo’s being able to travel so fast. just slowing time in half would cause an acelleration around you over the speed of sound.

You assume that you the time traveler remains in the same place.

You know, there is the Michelson-Morley experiment. The experimental results can be interpreted to show the Earth drags the space it sits within, along with it in its path around the sun.

But if he’s on Earth, he’s not. He’s moving. His UPS (Universal Positioning System) would probably know this, though, just as our GPS does.

they have to periodically readjust the gps satalites due to shifting caused by relativistic movemens to yes it is already fact that changes in time cause changes in position. so the faster you are moving in time the faster you will move relative to the earths position. slowing time down by half would cause supersonic speeds relative to the earths position.

Good answer. I couldn’t explain it.

Off Topic: BTW, what for the love of God is your avatar???!! Bread???!

If there is anyone, who can frighten me, it’s my other self, clone, he was by my self desired ‘dream’ proven to ‘testify’ to being & real enough, however, when he saw me, he vanished into thin air, meanwhile, who can pls. explain it to me, whoever it is?

I really want to believe that his time travel was true. This would be awesome!
