Title: Gates Question
Post by: but2002 on July 19, 2006, 12:49:44 am

I know that if you stay n a timeline for 3003 seconds, that 3003 seconds passed in another timeline, now If you say in a timeline for about 30 years, does the gate in a specific location. Dissapear? or would it stay there till 2300 A.D. even though that gate is not there when you visited the same spot.

The gates never moved between centuries (The gate between 600 AD and 1000 AD was in the same place.) in Chrono Trigger, I don't think they would move between 630 and 1030.

I understood what you said, yet I am clueless.

So am I. :D

There is a gate in Truce Canyon. 400 years pass and now it is the fair. The gate is still there.

I Think that is the ONLY gate ( Could be one more ) that does not move, Most of the others do move, but if the gate is in 1999 A.D. to Zeal, the gatwe would not be there 2300 A.D. or in 1000 A. D.

I believe the prevailing Chronoscholastic opinion here is that the Gates are not tied to absolute moments in time, but rather follow its linear progression just like we do. What remains constant is the amount of relative time between the two ends of a Gate. In other words, the gate at the Millennial Fair will always take you back exactly 400 years, whether you're using it to travel from 1000 A.D. to 600 A.D., or 1002 A.D. to 602 A.D.

One interesting question which I do not think has been answered is whether the endpoints of the Gates exist simultaneously across their entire lifespan in linear time. If you've waited around for two years and now it's 1002 A.D., you know that the Millennial Gate will take you back to 602. But if you were to use another time traveling device--a different Gate, or the Epoch, or something else--and travel back to 1000 A.D., what is not known is whether the Millennial Gate will exist at that time anymore.

EXACTLY what I was getting at!
