I understand that, you cannot go back into time further then the moment when the time machine was created.
This is a theory... but since no one we know has tested this yet its just a guess
If I drank a cup of coffee...how am I going back to the point just before I drank the coffee? This sort of time travel is only possible if there is
some sort of memory, or phenomenal device that holds everything that has ever happened and keeps playing them back at the time it occurred.
Where I come from we call that the Akashic Record... or Cosmic Memory if you wish
And if, time was really a loop and everything that has happened, is happening repeatedly, then what exactly is the point of living?
The future holds infinite possibilities... the Record holds all the Present and the Past and all the infinite possibilities in the future, however
which of those futures you reach is not written yet...
That makes the journey worth it
When the past is visited and you make a change, you begin a new time line and continue along a new path to one of the other infinite possibilities...
so you could kill your father before you were born...
You would cease to exist in the previous time line but continue on a new line from where you are... there is no going back... there is no paradox
If nothing of importance was change during your visit you could return and continue where you left off...
Back To the Future handled that very nicely actually the final result was better but NOT the same when he returned home at the end
Once I click "Post Reply", there's no way, anybody is getting the option to go back and change that...for the act is done, and it no longer
exists.
Except for a mod... they can make it go away edit it etc... You see? there is no 'absolute'
The same goes for the future. One may be able to see into the future, suggesting that the future could be mostly mapped out
Can and do its called project Looking Glass... I have the documents from LANL posted here...

But, how is possible for someone to go to a point that does not exist as yet on a linear timeline on this plane of existence? It's impossible.
Because time is NOT linear... only our perception of time is linear... as we exist beyond this physical plane part of us exists outside of time...
