Time Machine
Time Machine is not an innocative concept anymore but still the fascinated dream of everyone, including myself. I like the conept of being travel back and forth on this neverending dimension. However, if you believe changing from the past would result in a better present life, then you will fail because if Time Machine works, everything on the timeline has been pre-destinated. Changing from the past could only change the result of this set of sequential events but could not predict what would happen if this set is not going to happen. Similarly, to predict your life from the future could only help you on doing something from now on achieve some goals in future but doesn't mean these goals are error free from your future life. I would get a ride on the Time Machine only if it is a read-only Timeline Machine.

We already have the Read-only time machine to the past, it's the video recording! To capture a period of 'timeline' and allow you to play back in future. You are right, people always have a 'greedy' mind to change the past and affect the future. So, if time machine exists, basing on that and your idea, the theory of 'parallel timeline' appears, which predict that changing the past only affect the future of that particular timeline but not all timelines. If this theory is true, there will be multiple 'me' exist at the same time but on different timelines.
ReplyDeleteI am interested on time machine too, but only to the past...I would like to keep the future in the secret box to make my life can be more meaningful.
