Time travel is a very difficult concept to grasp and is prevalent in many fantasy and sci-fi novels. Yet there is much more logical problems and paradoxes than other controversial scientific theories. For example, if there was time travel, where are the time travelers? They should be around in the present day to accomplish whatever they need to do.
There is also the issue of what happens when someone goes back in time to alter something? Take this argument:
P1: I punched Professor Silliman yesterday
P2: I used a time Machine to alter the past so that I did not punch Professor Silliman.
C: I did not punch professor Silliman.
This spawns many conflicts. If the conclusion is true, then the first premise, and consequently the second premise become untrue. It hurts my head.
Time traveling is weird. Here's another parodox:
ReplyDelete- You went to the future and found a book written by you, with things you don't know inside of it.
-You go back to the present and write what you found in the book.
- It is published and the credit goes to you.
- But where did the knowledge come from?
