time traveling

Postby Coltpower » Sat Jan 16, 2021 7:47 am

Now I'm writting book, but it not about the book it simple problem I'm running into a problem on basic time travel problem
which is if yourself get thrown back into time through a worm hole and put you into crussade peroid and you change the time line and and end up becoming a King now would your other self find out or if he didn't follow you by not getting on space ship would the event of changing the time line still occured

There's a more general problem with traveling back in time; negative matter.

Basically, if you travel back in time and come into contact with anything that was formerly a part of you - stardust, normal dust, your body, skin cells, even tiny microbes in the atmosphere - there's a hypothesis that you'll completely and utterly obliterate yourself, like antimatter touching normal matter. These chances obviously increase the further back in time you go, since all the matter that would be "you" would be much more spread out.

But if we avoid that, then time-travel is... weird. How would the time traveler speak the language? English even just a few 400 years ago was remarkably different, let alone over 900. I guess he could have a translator, but that'd be a hard thing to hide. Would changing the past even change the future? Who's to say time doesn't follow Endgame logic and split timelines whenever it's changed? There are a lot of questions you have to answer, and the villainy of your present self is one that's less on the priority list.

Sorry if this sounds a bit rude, but there's a lot you have to tackle.

The thing about time travel is that it isn't real, so as the author of this story you can make up your own time travel rules.

True, although Time travel to the future is scientifically plausible and has less consequences (we are all technically time travelers, but I mean in the sense you experience time much faster).

At the current time fantastical time travel doesnt exist. So your story would be fictional. So, why dont you just make up your own rules? The best part of writing is that you can make your world uniquely yours. You have, pun intended, an open book of the possibilities at your pencil tip.

no your not it was one of many question I had to figured out which is an Implant with AI as he from 2222 and the AI main source is on earth, but even without the AI the implants allows him to hear and translates different languages through his voice. So his voice is his, but alter to speak that langugage as the commons were arabic, old english, old french, spainish, I guess you called say old Germain. Some pluricentric or Farsi depedening on the area.
I was just trying to figure it out the time bit of the rule of this while it fictional I still want some science into it

Sounds like an interesting story.
Hope it’ll go well!

What if you could time travel but only like a month in the past?

I see it in terms of parallel universes. Going back in time creates a new timeline, without necessarily changing the old. Let's say you go back in time and change the present. You have now existed in two different timelines. In the original, you just left in a time machine and never returned. Life continues on as it were with the exception of your absence. After you change the past and "go back" to the present it's actually a different reality entirely. That's the easiest way I can explain time travel in a way that avoids those messy paradox loops.

Just borrow the Futurama Multiverse Postulate, and assume time travel spawns a new universe that's 10 feet lower owing to the accidental assassination of Eleanor Roosevelt.
