Yes, there are those Nazis and Fascists who seek to control the world population. The Georgia Guidestones were monument to that fact. GMO isn't really part of that. But, you can go on believing it. I don't really care.Bob » 03 Feb 2023, 10:49 am » wrote: ↑
Stevia and other unnecessary stuff is added into the food-water = population reduction. The current solution is to bring a new population into the USA area instead of solving problems that reduce population. USA is only a small percentage of world population.
Pagan barbarian war slavers want you to have a small sick non reproducing population and you want this kind of situation too, win-win deal.

Time travel is almost certainly impossible,because we exist in time,and cannot exist outside of time.
There are no time machines,but let's assume that one is possible and speculate how it might work:
Suppose you were born in 1980. So you get into the Time Machine and decide to visit Woodstock.You set the dial for August 15, 1969.
But you are not immune to time,so you find that you are suffering the effects as you grow younger and shorter and you cannot reach thecontrols,so when you pass 1980,<*POOF!*> you vanish, because you cannot exist before you are born.
Or suppose that you are born in 1980 and want to see what 2424 is like: will it be like Ziger and Evans sang about, But when you hit 2070,you pas your life expectancy and you DIE.Because as a temporal being, you cannot exist past the life expectancy of your body.
People who write about time travel and time machines seem to assume that time does not change within the Time Machine. But why would that be so? Why should we assume that there is a place anywhere in which time does not exist. I say that is ****.
Of course,time machines are like warp drive and the StarTrek Transporter: nonexistent,impossible devices that make sci-fi more entertaining.
The scenario is a curious one and an interesting one to me. I am not concerned whether someone else has thought of something similar, but I can assure you I did not "cut&paste" it from somewhere.Xavier_Onassis » 03 Feb 2023, 11:11 am » wrote: ↑ So you think that calling yourself some kind of omnipotent Devil is creative?
Irrelevant. Clearly this is not an exercise in reality. If you thought it was, then you are mistaken.Time travel is almost certainly impossible,because we exist in time,and cannot exist outside of time.
All of this is highly speculative and pure conjecture on your part. But, even more so, it is completely irrelevant. This is far from an exercise in how time travel might work.There are no time machines,but let's assume that one is possible and speculate how it might work:

More irrelevant speculation. I would be more than glad to discuss time-travel paradoxes in another thread, but that's not what this is about.Or suppose that you are born in 1980 and want to see what 2424 is like: will it be like Ziger and Evans sang about, But when you hit 2070,you pas your life expectancy and you DIE.Because as a temporal being, you cannot exist past the life expectancy of your body.
Writers, good ones anyway, effectively use time travel to explore a particular aspect of the human condition. If I want to know more about the technical feasibility or impossibility of time travel, I would dedicate my life to studying quantum mechanics. The question I asked was a metaphysical one, not intended to solicit theories about quantum mechanics.People who write about time travel and time machines seem to assume that time does not change within the Time Machine.
While not relevant to the discussion, I do not believe that time exists. It is an imaginary measurement construct of humans. It is nothing more than one aspect of our incomplete way of attempting to describe how things happen in relation to other things.But why would that be so? Why should we assume that there is a place anywhere in which time does not exist. I say that is ****.

Good science fiction has a multitude of topics.Time travel is one of them.Good science fiction is, above all else, ENTERTAINING. I enjoy a good time travel story, even though it is bad science.Bad science is probably necessary for most good science fiction.Skans » 03 Feb 2023, 11:42 am » wrote: ↑ The scenario is a curious one and an interesting one to me.

You have free will to choose to answer it or not. I have read all of the answers and find them quite interesting. To be fair, I even answered it myself. But, if you are offended by it, or fear the answer might reveal something to a part of you that you keep closed off, or to others, then don't answer it.

You must have done some nasty **** in your life to regret it.

Regrets can be big and they can be small. The small ones should not be fretted over hence having no regrets.
It’s like that lyric in the song, “my way”, too few to mention.
