The real issue arises from the lack of quantifyable data. Everything ME related is anecdotal at best. The experiences are personal, yet seem to affect a conglomerate of people on the same topics.

The Theory is , that you could. However , the act would split off another universe in which your grandfather was killed and you were never born. In the normal universe you would not have went back in time (paradoxically)
I'm not sure that is the case.
The act doesn't split off another universe.
The other universe always existed with you just being a murderous visitor at one point.
You could argue that if you never went to this other universe there would be no point to it existing however that's a pointless argument as you did go to that other universe (hypothetically).
Also it may be a little conceited to assume that this universe only existed for you to commit murder and the lives of the billions of others there are purely dependent on your travel plans.

I fail to see how its a "religious" argument. It also doesnt just cover names and logos of things either. I was an adamant studier of the pineal gland, which is in an entirely new location than what I had studied.
I find it very difficult to believe that Im just misremembering the placement of the pineal glabd whilst I was studying it. Of course, like everything else ME releated, its anecdotal and not quantifyable data. Which is why it is so easy to chalk it up to misremembering information.

I don't want to speak for Krahzeef_Ukhar, but that's how I would classify it as "religious". It's largely faith-based.

We're not jumping into our Deloreans and Police boxes and fiddling with time, we're having to put up with someone who IS.
I'm trying to keep this thread on track so I will have to skip to the relevant part.
Not to discount your experience but the arguments always tend to be emotional ones bordering on religious arguments. Often ending in "You just don't understand".
Rather than getting into a pointless argument I am curious how you make sense of the implications of such time travel whilst considering what the physics nerds believe.
Do you just disregard the science or have you made attempts to reconcile it?

What if the more unexplainable MEs *are* the results of time travel? How would we know?? And good grief, what if it's just a smaller symptom of a larger problem? I described my event, because that is as close to something of that magnitude I've ever experienced. I got nothin'. All I can do is describe it.

Is it possible that you saw 1 of the 3 Challenger launches that happened in '84 with Mr Glacier and then mixed that with your memory of watching the '86 one?
