I believe
that if time travel were possible and you could
travel back in time, you would not be able to affect anything at all. I believe
that if you were to go into the past, you would not even be seen by anyone there. If you were to stand in front of an
approaching person, they would simply pass through you. The reason being: you do not yet exist. Even though you are there in your own body,
you will be housed in a body which was not from
that time. Therefore, in the eyes of
those in the past, you are not there.
Even though you are visiting another time and seeing it with your own
eyes, you are seeing something that has happened already and cannot be changed. Although it would be an interesting experience,
you could only be a spectator, not a participant.
I
believe the same holds true for the future.
It would probably be the same.
You would be a ghost because likewise you would not be from that time. In fact, you will have been long dead.
I believe
there is little or no difference between the past present and future. Even the future has already happened. Humor me for a moment.
Imagine
you could throw a rock into outer space.
It would travel on and on forever until it finally hit something. Let’s assume that the very moment you threw
the rock, there is no way to retrieve it.
(Duh) Consider it an irreversible decision. In a way, the rock had already landed at its
destination because it is GOING to happen and it CANNOT be stopped. The minute you threw it… the action was
complete even though it hadn’t quite played out yet.
The same
holds true for the signals that we (humans) have been broadcasting into outer
space over the past 100 years with hopes of reaching some intelligent life-form. Is there any
way possible we can go back and catch those waves? We cannot.
It is irreversible. Therefore, whatever those waves run into
whether a star, black hole or an alien radio receiver, the action is done. Perhaps we’ve already been visited by others
who are able to travel through
time. If that were the case, the moment
the signal was sent, it is possible that we could have been visited the next
day or within the same hour. That is, if
they could travel back in time. However, if I’m correct, we would never know
it because they would not have been from
this time and therefore would not exist! Unless I’m wrong, then maybe that explains all the UFO sightings we’ve been seeing for
quite some time now.
