Still trying to get my thick head around this so bear with me.
So all this talk about JT actually BEING a time traveller is nonsense, before you flame listen to what I'm saying.
He's not a time traveller but a 'dimension traveller' there is no such thing as time travel as such but if you 'dimensionally jump' then you take
a chance as to what period of man you land in, seeing as I understand or hear there are infinite dimensions and each is at a certain particular
time.
We are here in ours here and now but there is one that is 1 minute behind where I ( my alter ego) is about to start typing this post, then there is
another where I have already posted.
Plus ALL the others from my birth to my death, plus all the other inifinte dimensions during at least Earths history, present and future each based on
, after and during decisions made, to be made?
So JT if he is a time traveller IS actually a dimension hopper and therefore ANY information given is not a 'prediction or prophesy' but a story
about HIS particular dimension, and if it is the case that he came here to 'tell his story' of his dimension surely he could've seen what lead upto
HIS 2005 civil war and noticed if any , any similarities to OUR stage. therefore warning US about ' if you continue to do 'X' then this will/may
happen? .
So he didn't come here from OUR future just his world to one (ours) that is similar.
I don't / can't dismiss time travel ( having never experienced it myself) but find it unfeasible that people can get all excited about some person
telling us 'X' happened / or will happen in ( insert date) as clearly if you know about it , it changes the outcome anyway, and if your from the
future and you actually go to YOUR past and try to affect the history then surely your setting your own timeline up for a paradox, you know the type
the old kill my grandkid as a kid paradox, where you kill your granddad when he's a kid , he doesn't have kids himself , so you can't be born to
travel back and kill your own grandfather paradox. Time travel knock on effects would negate the possibility of interferring only to observe what HAS
happened.
My thinking is this :
There's this person time travelling , his past is set and EVERYTHING has happened that allowed him to travel in time, if he interferres with ANYONE ,
either by talking , touching or interracting in ANY WAY, then he alters that persons personal timeline.
Now this individual the TT has interracted with had to make a choice |( something simple like turning left instead of right at a junction) the events
of the past will alter the conclusion of the future, IF said individual is killed in a car crash BECAUSE he turned left instead of right then ALL the
individuals actions words , intreractions with other people is erased, therefore paradox.
Every interaction we have with each other affects them AND us in some way, even if its a smile off a good looking person on in a lift / elevator, it
makes you think about that person, ( enough to be of a wandering mind and not watching the road when you cross hypothetically) , a word can make you
angry or sad or happy, every event that has happened now affects the future.
Now imagine a child in Iran for example , he's killed by accident but in another reality or even our own future he could hold the answer that saves
us all.?
Surely any time traveller worth his salt and with ANY compassion or thought for HIS OWN WORLD would only OBSERVE the past and not interferre, to try
and keep as minimum the contact as possible IN FEAR of altering or erasing his own world.
Anyone who claims they are from our future is wrong , unless he is the last person in the world and his last ever act to to change the catastrophic
events that lead to his worlds demise, even then its a hell of a chance that the end result is any better than the one he left behind.
To tell us that we end our own world by doing 'x' should be listened to but to be totally honest, ANY person claiming to come from our future will
have NO effect on the future of our world because TPTB want their way NOW and to hell with the future , they would be 'debriefed' i.e killed to be
kept quiet and any technology /information stolen for their benefit and not ours.
SO if your claiming to be a time traveller then please don't advertise the fact to all and sundry, go to the people / person that can actually help
make a difference, if you can find them.
Dimension travelling is fine as any interaction between traveller and indigenous inhabitants will not have any effect on the travellers reality or
dimension, whereas ANY coincidental history ( if traveller is from a more futurist era) can be altered to make the end result more beneficial to the
inhabitants. Like a 2009/2010 nuclear war here to be averted by someone whos own dimension who HAD the nuclear war happen .
confused you will be, I know I am.
