TTTP2 Multiple realities

This theory is about multiple realities and the existence of every possibility playing out. For this theory we could go back to the man who wanted to kill his dad (See TTTP1). The example would now go with, he goes back in time and he kills his dad and he returns to his time and nothing has changed. The reason for this is the path he created where he killed his dad went off into a different existence; therefore he was responsible for creating a possible world where a man killed another man. He would not belong in that world because he could not exist there. He had killed his dad and therefore his dad would have not met his mum and he would have not been created.

This theory would mean that the reason we have no tourists from the future is because we are living in a reality that does not feature any. This would mean we could never revisit past events because the reality we created would not be the same.

Time would branch out. There could have been visitors from the past but they would have changed some events and created the world we live in. If a person time travelled back to the start of time and had the technology to impress and show off the skills, they may been seen as a wizard or even the son of god. This would then create a chain of events from that point. This world we live in now could have been changed by a time traveller. The lack of evidence to back up this claim would not be needed because the time traveller could just leave taking everything that he used. This may mean there are some recordings in text of someone having a great advantage. This possibility could mean Merlin or even Jesus was a time traveller.

This would mean that every time some one time travelled into the past they would not affect the present. One issue with this theory is how would ensure they travelled back to their reality and not the one they had created. Getting back to the example, what would prevent the man from seeing a time that is was not meant to? The time where he was not even born? This could be explained by when travelling back the time travelling device would record the current location in such detail that this would not happen. One may also be able to visit alternative realities where any event could play out. Think about seeing a world where Hitler won the war by going back and killing Churchill.

Maybe someone died before they could do something. We could go back and use current knowledge to prevent them from dying then visit the future of their reality to learn from it. We could go back in time change important events and see the out come. All the time this would not change our reality but just create new ones. New realities where an unknown man did something and it just happened. If Merlin or Jesus was a time traveller, He may have gone back in time used knowledge of the future to create appearing Miracles or Magic. Merlin could have used a camera flash, or a lighter, or even an mp3 player to create a change and make it recorded in history. The world could have been very different and people may have not followed Gods word so maybe a preacher who had travelled from a world where devices existed to turn water into wine and heal people. Maybe Jesus did return to create the world we live in because the world he came from was bad, possible, is it not?

Right or Wrong

What one person thinks is a good idea or believes to be true does not always it is right. An example would be two people, one an atheist and one a theist. The likelihood of one to convince the other one that they are right is very unlikely.

What is real and what is not real? Example, one man called Bob said to a man called Jason that he knows a man called James that lives in Scotland. Jason does not know that this man exists and sees no proof. Jason believes that man because there are lots of people in Scotland, and at least one is going to be called James. Bob does not stop there but goes on to tell Jason about how James can heal people with his bare hands. Jason’s belief in James is then lowered, but thinks he may have heard it wrong and James is a doctor. Jason asks Bob “how does he heal with his bare hands?” Bob replies “like a miracle he just holds his hands over the wound and the wounds are healed.” Jason then stops believing Jason.

The above example shows a man (Bob) telling a man (Jason) of another man (James). It is easy to relate to the first part of the example. One man does not know everyone, so of course it is easy to believe in James. The man later goes on to talk about James performing what sounds like every day medicine but a little different. After hearing that it is like miracle the belief is lost. This is because it is very hard for Jason to relate to this knowledge. It is very easy to lie and get the truth wrong. Even if Jason was to meet this person and see the miracles with his own eyes he still may think it is nothing more than a trick. The problem here is that we are relating to knowledge we have heard or seen in past performance. As people who play the stock market will know the saying “Past performance is not a guide to future returns” (Investment Times, May 2009). But everyone follows past performance after all we would not read the Investment Times if we did not. The point is finding it hard to relate to it may mean it is harder to understand how it can happen.

There is one man in history people find it so easy to believe the man is of cause Jesus. Jesus was said to have performed miracles, he may or may not have. Why is it easy to believe in Jesus but not in James (the above example)? It is because Jesus has so many believers and so much wrote about him. James could have performed the things Bob said but believing him is hard. To some Jesus is real to others Jesus is wrong. To Bob James is real to Jason James is wrong. We all know what we believe to be real and if others truly believe in it then it is not our choice to say they are wrong. We should respect their beliefs and try to adapt to their way of thinking. We may completely disagree with them, but at the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What is right and what is wrong is up to you. We should base what we believe is right on past correctness but should not disbelieve something because it sounds wrong.

Live before you die

The chances of living forever are extremely unlikely. We are all going to die. Every minute is one minute closer to our demise. Our life is slowly going away drifting away. But we are alive now you are alive because you are reading this. Live is full of chances to change it. How long you wait for the right choice is depending on how long you are willing to wait. We could all quit our jobs, college or university. But what would we do? Knowing what to do with your life depends on the choices available to you. With knowledge you can know your friends are fine and you can know how to improve yourself.

How your life is defined is up to you. Knowing your alive should allow you to have the hope that your life could get better. Only when you are dead are you truly out of choices and you should lose hope. If you are unhappy with your life find out what you are unhappy with. Then see if you can make it better. If you want to feel alive some people do extreme sports such as parachuting or bungee jumping. Others would say these are could lead to your death. Everything will lead to your death it is better to have lived before you die.

The wall and the man

There is this wall; the one thing that is true about this wall is that it cannot be climbed. There is this man; the one thing that is true about this man is that he can climb any wall. What would happen when the man attempted to climb the wall? It is a paradox as both cannot be true at the same time. If the man climbs the wall then the wall is climbable. If the man cannot climb the wall then the man cannot climb any wall.

My personal answer to this paradox is that they both cannot exist in the same universe. If the man goes into the universe of the wall then he cannot climb it. If the wall enters the universe of the man then he can climb it.

What if it is in the same universe can it exist? An answer is maybe, if the rules changed depending on creation. Such as in our universe something can be made and sold as unbeatable yet beaten later on. If this is the case both would be true but one would become false. It could be chosen on when they was created.

If one were true and the other false which one would win? The wall, if it did indeed like being wrote down came first, then the man should have attempted to climb it before being named the man who can climb any wall. Therefore the man is true and the wall is false. But the wall is not a living object and therefore unless given that title in error. The man could have failed and said he climbed it, therefore making the man false and the wall true.

What do you think?

Everything is possible till completely proven impossible.

Can fly to the moon see the moon is made out of cheese and take some cheese back for your mum? Well yes and no. It is possible that the moon is made out of cheese and you can fly up there and get some cheese for your mother. Is it likely? No it is very unlikely. But if you can think it is it possible. Science shows us only what can put into a theory based on events that have already been seen. Drop an apple see if drop, everything drops down so gravity is born. A theory based on an event that happened. How can something be dropped and not go down then. Well there are two solutions one agrees with science kind of and that is some gases such as helium cause objects to not drop. Science explains it but could be wrong. The second is a miracle.

Miracles cannot be possible because they do not agree with current science. Well for us to completely believe in something 100% we should know everything about it. If this world is created by god and god knows everything then he should know the answer.



Let us show it from another point of view. If the apple was filled with helium the apple would not drop. Would gravity still exist? Let us make another example, spontaneous remission is a medical term for when a recovery is caused by an unknown reason or cause. This is not a miracle just something current science cannot explain. So what if you was to now be able to fly to the moon and get some cheese and bring it back and give it to your mother. That would be an unexplainable event in current understanding, but have to be possible because he happened. Science would try and most likely work out a reason for it happening.

The moral of this story is just because it has not happened does not mean it cannot happen. The more seemly crazy the thought, the more unlikely but not any less possible, for past events cannot predict the future every time.

Spontaneous remission report, http://discovermagazine.com/2007/sep/the-body-can-stave-off-terminal-cancer-sometimes
A quote from Wikipedia about the above story:
A published example of unexpected spontaneous remission is that of John Matzke. At 30 years old, he was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 1974. A chest tumour and lung cancer were found in 1984. Instead of undergoing immediate treatment, he spent one month hiking, meditating, and eating healthily (to prepare his body for treatment). Surprisingly, upon his next X-ray appointment, the tumour had disappeared. He lived for another seven years before the cancer recurred in his brain and took his life on November 8, 1991.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_remission
This story is quite basic but if he prayed religion may blame it on god, he was told he would recover science may blame it on a placebo. The answers are not clear and only possibilities are available.

Greed or necessary, is it useful? Do I need it?

Is it being greedy or is it necessary? An example would be someone complaining about their house. Is it really necessary for them to have a bigger house? If the living conditions are bad or the house really is too small then it may be necessary. Another example is a shop is giving a discount of 30% on loads of items such as mini dustpan and brush or an electric marshmallow toaster, etc. Unless one wants the items the discount is rather pointless. If one wants it because it is discounted it could be classed as green as wanting something one does not need just for the sake of it is rather greedy. One should ask themselves “Do I need this?” If the answer is no then spending 70% of its purposed retail price, is pointless. This is not to say that one should never use these discounts, just not buy useless stuff.

But what about wanting a better life, new car, a bigger house or more money? We all want something we cannot have and the fact we cannot have it makes us want it even more. Take this example, a new video game is about to come out and although there are loads of video games that do the job and would happily entertain us for ages we want this one. Why? What makes this game better than the loads before it? Sure it may be marketed at allowing the user to drive new cars or has better handling; it is at the end of the day just a new game. What if this game really is the best thing ever? Then wait a few months and the price will drop and if nothing else is made that can beat it then buy it. It will be cheaper and reviews can back it up as the best game ever.

What about more money? Now this is something that is very interesting the want for money as it is the backbone of the life we live. To live we need money to pay the rent and buy food. The human race does not need money to live. The human race needs warmth, water, food and sleep. To get warmth we need to buy clothes, and pay the rent to stay somewhere. To get water we need to buy drinks. To get food we need to buy food from the supermarket. To sleep we need somewhere to stay. All of these require money but not because they were meant to require money but because our way of living has made it so. People can survive living in the woods if they want. Money is required to make our life better. We do need money but too much money is rather pointless. If one wins a million what does one do? Spend it on a house and car and other stuff? A million is then gone. It is the upkeep that will then push that ex millionaire into work. If that millionaire had put all the money into savings accounts or spent it on something that will produce more money. The millionaire can survive with out working. Before he won the million he was alive and after he is still just alive. Us what money we have to better our self and not buy useless junk we do not need. Before you buy something ask yourself “do I need it?” Think long and hard before coming up with the answer. The same thing goes about replacing something, is it broken? Does it need fixing? At the end of the day we are having a better life than other people. Spending money on stuff that gives us nothing back only brings our life down later on when we have debt and a house full of junk.
