TIME

THE PROBLEM WITH TIME.

One day in the future Time Travel will be a thing of the past, because one day in the future, the future will be the past. Then what?

Time stops at the event horizon of a black hole. It also started at a singularity that in later years became known as the big bang. Modern day conjecture will one day, maybe come up with an answer to why. Before somebody actually ask’s why !

Once upon a time some one did ask why, but unfortunately an answer was not forthcoming and the universe, space, time and what to have for breakfast were questions that even to this day and beyond remain critically unanswered. Perhaps one day it will all fall into place when some one some where decides yes I will have sugar on my breakfast cereal.

One can try to envisage a past without a future simply by looking to the future with retrospective hindsight. In some ways one should be able to predict future outcomes by engaging in post futuristic predictions of what as already occurred in the future. In a past tense of course.

At some stage in the future you will be able to get to where you want be before you actually set off. The only problem with travelling at the speed of light would be that of inadvertently crashing into your self before you have set off. Space time curvature is a menace. Especially to those who want to get to where they are going without actually leaving where they are.

The speed of light is not the only universal constant. Train spotters for example are another one, god knows why because I don’t. But the 3.35 from Exeter as just arrived 30 minutes late at platform one. Perhaps there in lies your constant.

Paradoxes in time travel are a problem, that is to say they will be a problem when eventually time travel is invented. In so much as I would readily point out paradoxes in time travel were a problem, will have been and very likely will be when one inadvertently becomes your own great grandad.
