Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Paradox of time travel..........
« on: September 20, 2006, 04:51:20 pm »
Paradox of time travel: this is the question that has been battleling scientist ever since the theory of time travel was formulated..an enigma that doesnt seem to have a solution.....It is said that time traveling is not possible due to the "cause and effect" problem and the changes that may occur that will negate the main purpose of time travel on the fiorst place......Example: if you can travel through time, you could go back and kill your grandad..right? some scientist would say otherwise....Why? because if you do that, you wouldnt have been born in the first place, and if you havent been born then how could you go back in time to kill your grandad?? errr to make it more confusing if you failed to kill your grandad then you surely would have been born and can travel back in time to kill him....... ??? confusing??? cause and effect, its like a circle of event that couldnt possible begin and couldnt possibly end........
the good thing about it is that the paradox has its holes....
for exmaple, what if you dont want to kill your grandad, lets say you just want to meet him..then the paradox will not apply...it will only apply when theres action involve, like if you would like to give your grandad 100 million dollars for example, if you did that action and you were born then the paradox will again be applied because if you give him that and then when you were born, you might not think to go back and give that to him on the first place because he already had that before you were born, what if you didnt choose to go back in time......
What do you think?? could you share it with me?? i'd like to know what you guys think about this paradox and how did the author of chrono trigger managed to dodge the paradox in the story........
