Time Travel.

There is a school of thought which suggests that time travel is impossible, and that even if it were, via some butterfly effect that by going back in time and making the smallest of changes you would alter the set of circumstances which brought you to the point where you would go back in time, therefore creating a paradox which would cause certain parts of the universe to instantly non-exist. Current quantum theory suggests that it may be possible to travel forward in time but not backward, which is pointless because you would not be able to alter your path making yourself richer and stuff.



Another suggestion as to why time travel is impossible is because at this point in time, we are not innundated with people from the future or even from the past (apart from the ones from the past who have come from the past to the present in the sense that you or I have.)

That might lead you to logically include that time travel is impossible, and a great many people would say that this is a reasonable conclusion to reach, given the evidence. Not me, I would ridicule anyone who came to that conclusion, I would say they are flatlanders  ...fucking idiots, plebs, knobbers, twats, and I will give three reasons as to why I think this way thus backing up my point with some rather flakey evidence to counter the first paragraph or two which accompany the rather loosely connected Salvador Dali Piece The peristence of Memory. Which in hindsight I probably should have substituted with a different example of time travel, unfortunately the examples open to me would have probably made less impact in the examples I am about to give you... nevertheless, if only there was a way to go back in time to replace that picture with another one.

BACK TO THE FUTURE (TRILOGY)

This film reveals that time trravel is so simple that a scientist can actually come up with a fail safe method of time travel with no government funding or grants, in fact it reveals that the method of time travel can simply be worked out by hitting your head in a bathroom, a method so simple that it can create what was not only the most important Macguffin in film history but a simple device which revolutionized quantum theory.



The Flux Capacitor was a bow with a Y shaped wire which (with the help of 1,200,0000 watts of electricity, which is easy to generate with either the plug sockets of 8,066,667 homes, or Plutonium or lightning, which were eventually favoured.) So that information in itself reveals that time travel IS possible.

Not only that Marty McFly travelled a total of 8 times throughout the trilogy, and the closest he came to eradicating himself from existence was when his mum nearly danced with someone else at the prom and his hand started to dissapear alongside images of his brother and sister within a photo. An interesting side note is that if the path of history was altered and Marty McFly had of prevented his and his siblings existance through the method of time travel, then the photograph still would have been taken because it was still there even though the images inside the photo wouldn't have been, which meant the person taking the photo would have just taken an inane picture of a well in a back garden.



The people who say 'even if time travel was possible it would alter the previous paths thus altering the fabric of existance and making you not exist anymore' are overstating their case. Afterall there are slight anomolies which occur, Marty didn't notice that his girlfriends physical appearence, if not her taste in fashion were altered by the anomalies which time travel throw up.



So this example alone proves beyond any doubt that not only is time travel possible, but also it would not do any damage to the fabric of the space time continuum at all.



BILL & TEDS EXCELLENT ADVENTURE (& BOGUS JOURNEY)

Yeah, as if one example wasn't enough I'm going to hit you up with another. Although there are many theories on the relationship between time and space is, it becomes apparent after seeing these films that time is simply a bizarre framework designed to encase a destiny in which Bill & Ted become leaders of some form of totalitarian zenlike utopia, with the help of an omnipitent set of time guardians.





In fact, time travel is encouraged simply for things like getting good grades in history assignments, or scoring girlfriends. In short, time travel is as simple and as safe as getting on a bus from one place to another, and save some rogue guardian using time travel to go back in time to cause mayhem by replacing Bill & Ted with evil cyborg Bill & Teds, even taking historical figures like Socrates, Sigmund Freud and Ghengis Khan into the future so they can enjoy the delights of consumerism- while at the same time creating a strinking dischord between the present and the past- is completely acceptable. In fact any alterations in the space time continuum are like maintainence on a pre-ordained destiny. It appears that Quantum physisists have been completely barking up the wrong tree.

Whereas the Delorean was the shell which made time travel possible, it appears that a more popular time travel mechanism is the phone box, whether it is a police phonebox...



...or just a bogstandard phonebox time machine like the one in Bill and Ted.



You might say that the fact that I am only quoting fictional examples of time travel undermines my argument, but I myself am a time traveller. I travel forward in time one second at a time. I travel through both time and space using...



Don't even need a flux capacitor or a phone box, who even used phone boxes anymore apart from characters in the Sopranos. And even they aren't real. People use Blackberries,to organise looting. Therefore the ACTUAL point of this blog is nothing to do with time travel, it is to do with social networking sites and technology, they are not responsible for the riots, or something.
