Urgh, this is what I hate about PD.com, it is the only site in existence where a perfectly good spam thread can be misused for high quality discussions.  I hate you all.

I thought it seemed in context with these posts, but I can repost it in a new thread if you still disagree.

Quote from: TGRROkay, so time travel is theoretically possible.  Given that, eventually someone will DO it.

So where are they?

Where are the ungrateful bastards?  Why don't they ever visit?  Have they no respect for their illustrious forefathers?

Quote from: Dr.Pataphoros,SpDIt's a good idea to take care of the future, just in case reverse causality is true and we create our own species in the past from the future.

I still disagree.  This thread is about hating my descendants, not the theory of time travel.

Thanks in advance for starting your own thread.

you know you ruined the joke daruko
:sad:
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

ehmmm TGRR you do know you're not human right?
and any kids you have would be hybrids and most hybrids are infertile.
this proves that timetravel won't be available for 2 more generations.

Assume time travel is possible and future generations are doing it.

There are still many unknowns, such as: is time a continuous variable which only flows 1-dimensionally (and in one direction)?  Or is time more flexible, allowing for alternate universes where a time traveler would be able to access one and not affect his starting universe?  Is time a universal quantity (universal across the assumed many universes) or is it specific to each "reality?"  Is time even dependent on direction at all or is that just our perception? 

I don't really know, but I'd say that time is more complex than just a 1-dimensional object, and tends to branch off into alternate realities every now and then.  Loosely speaking, there is an established concept of "imaginary time" related to this, but I'm not familiar with it (Stephan Hawking likes to babble about it now and then).
