Have any of you gone back into your past and changed it? I bet there are some of you out there who either have or are working on techniques to do it.
HAVE ANY OF YOU DONE IT?

Hm, there's some food for thought in that. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif <font color="blue"> [/COLOR]

We-ell....that's making assumptions on how the universe timeline is constructed.
Taking a different viewpoint, you could apply the "all worldlines" idea, in which case, going back and changing your past would cause you to return to an altered present with all your memories intact and where, depending on how much the present had been altered by your actions, possibly even an alternate version of yourself. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It amazes me how so many people want to travel through time and alter thier own timelines. If they (you) understood the full reality of doing so you may not want to change anything, except maybe in only the very recent past.
When you alter your timeline (some call it destiny or future), you retain memories of the previous line. Your career may change, the people you know and love are different, your lifestyle is different, you live in different city, and these may all be for the better (in your temporal mind's eye), but you still remember the previous line. You can never get away from that.
After years in your new/latest line you will begin to miss people who you used to know. You will remember and long for the interactions and experiences you had before no matter what they were. You will often, if not always, wonder where you would be now if you had chosen to stick with your original life deciscions and original timeline.
And the further you get away from the split in the lines, the deeper the memories become, to the point where your "real" life seems surreal at times. You don't even know what is real anymore.
You can go from sexy billionare world leader to poor farmer with 6 kids and back and forth as many times as you can imagine, but each split of the lines creates another layer of memories and another dilution of feeling.
Time travel from an observational only point of view would be ideal for the casual traveler, however the stark reality is that every minute action has a reaction and those actions over great distances of time are both profound and at times troubling, knowing you can never go back to your previous pschological state.
It is a good thing that the technique is not fluent among us.

"Figments of imagination would be a waste of time, when discussing the traveling of time. And to avoid a bombardment of questions I feel no need to answer, I will answer your question as YES."
To not waste anymore of my time I will not be asking you any more questions.

Hello /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif This is my first official post to this forum. I am very excited to join and I feel like man is not only on the brink of major accomplishment, i also feel we are on the brink of self destruction...sorry to say it! The last question was what is the significance of the M216? What, is that a new type of machine gun? lol! I spent about a minute looking it up on google and found about 2,000 different references to "M216", mostly product model numbers. I would love to help you research this, but can you provide some back ground? Thanks!
To share my thoughts on the origional topic "Have any of you done it?", I believe we all experience time travel every nanosecond of our lives. At VERY least, we are currently moving forward into the future from the past, whether it be on a single timeline or one of infinite parallel universes. But we are doing so at a rate of our own individual conscience experience. I realize that sounds insanely stupid and obvious, but rarely do we ever consider this to be a legit form of time travel. I could write a book on this topic alone (which I am writing a book, but only touching on this topic)...
Now that elementary idea aside, let me give you some real food for thought. How often do you think we actually move backward in time a second or two, or even a year. Would we be aware of a naturally occurring time loop? It seems to me, that generally speaking, if we were to move backward in time, our conciseness would also move with it, thus setting up a blank forum for new memories up to the time we moved back, at which point, free will may take over and we choose something else, avoiding the loop that sent us back. Am i the only one who experiences or questions what deja vu really is? As far as an experience I can remember, I do have very bizarr memories that seem real, but to the best of my research according to people who were with me at the time have no clue what I am talking about. On the same token, there are a few experiences that people tell me of thins I have done that I have no memory at all of doing. This could be a psychological condition of "selective memory", but again, black holes are said to possess certain time-altering effects. Cannot the unknown quantum universe also produce these effects locally? How do you test for something like that? Sorry for the long winded note. I do have a ton to say on the topic of time travel and specifically, personal experience.
