TIME TRAVEL

     The first question one would have to ask is, does the past exist in
the same sense that the present exists, in other words is the past there
to be 'gone back to' in the first place.

     If so is the 3 year old Homer in Maine back in 1954 another
conscious unit playing the same role as I played, or is it the same me
as I am now, only I don't know it.  (I don't buy this last.)

     Second question is, if the past exists relative to us, then does
the future exist in the same sense, as we are merely IT'S past?

     If the future already exists, then the game is a completely written
loop with no hope of change.

     Again the question comes up, who is that conscious unit who is
being Homer in 2050?

     Anyhow if we accept that the past and the future all exist in the
same sense as the present, and 'we' in the present are merely a wave of
beings filling roles in 2010 that are moving forwards in time to fill
future roles, that are already filled by those ahead of us, it is quite
possible that time travel can exist.

     But since the whole loop is prewritten, there is no hope of
changing anything that has already happened.

     That means that if my present self, when I was back in 1954, didn't
BACK THEM run into a future me, then I can't as a future me go back to
1954 and meet me.

     But if I did run into a future me back in 1954, then I MUST go back
into the past to meet me.

     Thus in this theory there can be causal loops from future to the
past, but they must be consistent and not cause time quakes or self
denying feed back loops.  A common theme of science fiction is that
knowledge of how time travel works is itself injected into the past from
the future.

     Most meatballs consider that only the present actually exists with
conscious units in it, thus the past isn't there to go visit, except
maybe as empty memories sucked out of the akashic records.

     Thus the future does not exist either until we in the present get
up there.

     Some will claim that relativity will allow us to travel into the
future, but this is not what it says.  Special relativity allows us
to make time move faster for everyone else in the sense of aging, but at
the end of the trip everyone is now in the future, never to return to
the past.

     So if I go to Alpha Centuri which is 4 light years away at 99
percent of the speed of light, in my time it may take a few days, but
once I am there, the whole universe will have moved forward by 4 years.
So relativity allows us to waste everyone else's time by speeding it up,
and so is of little use.

     Same thing for surface of black holes, as one crosses or gets near
the horizon, the whole remaining time of the universe passes by while
only minutes pass by for us.

     That just allows us to get to the future faster, not travel around
on the time line at will.

     Traveling into the future by speeding up everone else's death but
not ours, is not what we intended when we said 'time travel'.

     The dreamball theory allows that a wave of beings might travel
through it multiple times, each time changing it as conscious beings
make different decisions based on quantum chance.

     Like an arcade game that is 'pre written' but allows forking of
decisions so that each time it is played, different things happen.

     People who like to believe in MTA, or LTA, multiple times around,
or last time around, tend to come up with incidents very simlar to this
life and this life's past AND future, because the universe doesn't
change that much from time around to time around, but it does change.

     Thus knowing the approximate future this time around results from
knowing the past last time around.
