NATAS,
<<Erm chicken or the egg is only a paradox cos you would not be looking at the whole picture,>>
Whole picture? Well didn’t you just ask me how Aliens could be us in the future? Is that not a paradox as well? And how is that any different in the Chicken vs. Egg paradox, if it’s a change from one species to another? Each having different origins, coming to a completely new evolved state. What whole picture am I failing to see here?
<<obviously evolution had its role and there was no first chicken or first egg,but a slightly different species to the chicken we know today,eventually it layed an egg that is just like the chicken we know.>>
If that is what similarly became as what we know of today as the chicken and the egg, then why not another species follow in the same evolutionary path over time? I.e. mankind.
<<But thats evolution not time, the chicken and the egg IS a good example of how the human brain can be confused by viewing principles as we are taught,or wrongly taught as the case may be.>>
So tell us, what is the right way to think about it? Please teach us, and help clear away all our ignorance
.
<<But you cannot solve the grandfather paradox without using alternate timelines or parrallel worlds, to assume fixed time would suggest i cannot kill my grandfather,but if it were fixed time id remember my grandfather telling me a story of how a man that looked like me tried to kill him.>>
Very well. Then perhaps a different variation would suggest a different evolutionary path to the Aliens of that alternate timeline. Still you fail to buy into it as possible for that occurring, but are only inclined to suggest how it could apply to you trying to kill your dear old gramps
.
<<If i succeed,i wont exist to kill him,if i didnt exist then how would the attempt on his life be made in the first place?>>
Theoretically it’s a possible paradox, but will anyone ever have the opportunity to test it out and try and kill his or her own grandfather, I highly doubt it
. Manipulate maybe.
<<Also even if i succeed and live there is the problem of memory and alternate advents transpiring from the change,the alternate advents will change my future self to the point it is unlikely he will go back in time and do the deed,for he would have no reason to,>>
Memory, recalling the alternate reality from the now changed future. Hmmm, sounds very familiar to what I remember I used to go through. And to what my déjà vu reversions have been showing me to remembering of the past triggering a change, that is now crossing paths again for a 2nd time in the now/future (read my post in the paranormal conference for details). I will spend some time thinking about this one.
<<If i change something ill exist in a different timeline,the previous timeline may still exist without the change(whatever that may be) made. So i step in a time machine today,and i wont be seen again,ill disapear from here,and ill be elsewhere on the timeline where i made the change. >>
And what was your point in not wanting to believe in a fixed timeline again and about a time traveler coming to nip and nap? Maybe it’s just me, but you lost me
.
Either that, or it’s passed my bed time...
Well I’ll get back to you later anyways
