alvin asks Aug 19, 2008 12:02PM ever wonder why many movies say it's a bad idea to go back in time and change your life? something to ponder
HighDef says Aug 19, 2008 04:05AM it's thought that since it'll change the flow of events from that point, the unintended consequences could be catastropic.
leonniefm says Aug 19, 2008 04:05AM coz they think it's gonna change the history & they think it's bad if the history changed.
WoLF-[x] says Aug 19, 2008 04:09AM that's the old days of time travel anyway. Nowadays we think in quantum physics where you jump time and dimensions. Time is not linear.
alvin asks Aug 19, 2008 04:45AM what's the difference though? weather prediction is nonlinear too (there's no formula for perfect prediction) but the initial condition
WoLF-[x] says Aug 19, 2008 06:28AM haha...i dunno bout weather prediction. But the other way of time travel is you jump to ANOTHER dimension. So the time you left behind is
WoLF-[x] says Aug 19, 2008 06:27AM still running in parallel to the one you just jumped to. You can never meet the "you" in the new time jump because you will simply take
WoLF-[x] says Aug 19, 2008 06:28AM his place. Its a really huge thing to conceptualise because every decision you make leads to another "what if" dimension. So you just travel
WoLF-[x] says Aug 19, 2008 06:30AM back in time to an alternate decision that was made or before the branching in time space continuum blablballa. I just talking sci fi crap.
Moggs Aug 19, 2008 06:58AM doesn't want to ever go back. Each thing you do teaches you something new about yourself and others and helps make you who you are.
Moggs Aug 19, 2008 06:59AM would be a whole different person if she could keep going back and redoing.
jaclyn87 says Aug 19, 2008 09:56AM i thought it was about no matter how many times we get to redo something, something else could always go wrong
Nethead says Aug 19, 2008 12:37PM i enjoy going back in time on plurk and seeing if that can change time in the present
Moggs Aug 19, 2008 12:42PM recommends also 'Run Lola Run', 'Go', 'Memento' and just because- Freeway it's so wrong, it's right.
huinee says Aug 19, 2008 05:38PM yeah! alvin, ryanlim and i watched it 3 freaking times on the same night trying to understand wtf happened in the movie
Moggs Aug 20, 2008 01:12AM takes out her notepad (the old fashioned paper kind) and writes 'primer - must watch'.
spiderkitten thinks Aug 20, 2008 05:57AM it's because the scripts get too hard to write *steps on some ants*
aBihas says Aug 20, 2008 04:22PM i wouldn't choose to (unless i ccould go bck multiple times to try fix, screw up and make it back how it was the first time) cuz i believe
aBihas says Aug 20, 2008 04:23PM everything happens for a reason and going back in time to change 1 little thing you never know. it might change ure whole life that came af
