Each alternate reality is played out blissfully ignorant of the others, think of it as a tree with each branch representing a decision, going back in time just creates another branch with more branches... I told you God was more plausible.Originally posted by Dong View PostWouldn't that mean, that if someone went back in time they could never go back to their future?

Talking of time machines...
..something thingie here said.
Physicists say you can't travel back in time and kill your grandfather, but you can go back and save him from being hit by a bus and killed.
Therefore, you can go back in time and invent the timemachine.Tags: None
