Time travel maybe possible!

In the quantum theory, we can have multiple states of any object. For example, an electron can exist simultaneously in different orbits (a fact which is responsible for giving us the laws of chemistry). Similarly, Schrödinger’s famous cat can exist simultaneously in two possible states: dead and alive. So by going back in time and altering the past, we merely create a parallel universe. So we are changing someone ELSE’s past by saving, for example, Abraham Lincoln from being assassinated at the Ford Theater, but our Lincoln is still dead. In this way, the river of time forks into two separate rivers.

This paragraph on page three of the link reminds me so much of "Source Code". The man kept trying to stop the bomb from exploding and eventually did.

The way that thread is jumpin from one topic to the other; I felt it was fitting to have its own thread

I know. I typed this four days from now.

we are technically all walking through life in the past, as we see/feel something, it takes a small amount of time to process it, so we experience life as it was in the past at all times

much like the stars we see could have died out a million years ago

I believe that time travel will be possible but I also think that it will be a trap for some people. Will it need a nuclear reaction to generate 1.21 gigawatts of electricity?

Yep, but i think the "time travel" i speak of is actually able to be present during the time of that star burning out. Which is much more unfathomable.

in a alternate universe, you are a drug free atheist, and light travels so slow you hear the gunshot before it leaves the chamber, thus allowing you to bullet dodge as an olympic event

That doesn't make sense. >=[

wasnt trying to, sorry for the confusion

We never see the present, only the past.

When I look at my wife's face, I am seeing it as it was a few nanoseconds ago.
