Hi Chrono,
I just started reading some of the threads on TTI and would like clarification on your statement that paradoxes cannot exist. You use the example of going back in time to kill one's own grandfather. Does that create an alternate timeline where you were never born if you go back to the future? Also, what would happen if you go back in time and kill someone famous, like Hitler? Wouldn't that change the history of our world and create an alternate timeline? Or does the timeline compensate and find a "backup" Hitler to start WWII?
My greater curiousity is about what future generations remember most about this time. You say that most do not remember JFK being assasinated in the 60's. That is understandable since eventually, the American Empire will fade into history as the Roman, English, French, Spanish Empires have done. What do the people in your time remember as noteworthy in the early 21st Century? Is there no event that you could tell us about that will happen in the near future, like the Indonesian tsunami in 12/04, that would definitively prove you were from the future? Otherwise, what is the point of telling everyone here that you are from the future?
Also, there are many I know of who propose that "all of time is happening simultaneously." Any comments on that?
