TTTF1 The copied traveller

In case you have forgotten TTTF1 = Time Travel Theory Future 1. This theory can work for travelling to the past as well but I feel it would be best to start travelling into the future.

This theory assumes everything is set and time travel was not meant to be possible but is. This theory assumes that if a traveller travels into the future he or she could see their own outcome but would be powerless to affect anything. This theory assumes that if a time traveller travels in time he or she will forever be lost. This is how it works, example, a time traveller wants to go into the future to get the lottery numbers, the traveller sets the machine to the following Saturday and sets off. The traveller to be careful not to bump into the future version makes sure to go somewhere they are unlikely to be. The traveller views the numbers and goes back to their time. The traveller then enters a world where there is two of the traveller, the other traveller being a copy of the earlier equal.

This is because time enters a dimension that is not available in this world. The traveller cannot enter this dimension and if he or she does they would disappear with out leaving any trace. This basically assumes the universe would not be able to cope with the loss of something to that dimension so it creates a copy or prevents it from happening. The fact it is successful does not matter, from everyone in the universe the traveller would just disappear. So to cope with the loss the universe creates a copy. So there are now two of the traveller one that is travelling and one that would just think it did not work.

So back to the example the traveller as now just seen that there is a copy or clone. The traveller would be more shocked to see the traveller believes that it is not possible to travel. He or she may even travel several times because of this. So the traveller tries to tell the copy when they realise they are only a clone and only able to see but not been seen or change anything forever stuck in time unable to change or effect anything. This theory is quite scary in that there may be loads of copies all stuck unable to do anything. The time travel would however be able to travel into the future and see possible solutions to their problem.

Now this theory does have holes such as if this traveller is now stuck he or she would be unable to touch anything and although people may be able to believe that, the fact of the floor is a issue such as, wear and tear of the floor, stairs etc. As well as not being able to eat or drink. One possible theory to solve this problem without changing the theory too much is that the traveller can move objects, eat, open doors, etc. This may even answer the theory of ghosts but that assumes someone as managed this already. Another theory would be that because this person would not truly exist his or her changes would not continue. If this is true then if a stuck traveller went to eat an apple the apple would be eaten but the apple would still exist where he or she picked it up, creating another copy. The same could go for doors if he or she opens a door the door would open but would still be closed to those in the unstuck world.

Another theory is that they would have “no clip” (a video game mode) where by the traveller could walk through walls and fly etc. If this is true then the problem of eating would still be present and they would have until they die of hunger.

This could mean that time travel would be seen as a failed attempt and no one would try it anymore. This does however mean all the failed attempts would create copies. The next theory of travelling into the future will be TTTF2 the disappearing traveller.

18th of September Update

I start University on Tuesday my second year. This means I will have less time to think of random things. This and that fact few and few people are viewing my site or at least telling me they are. I do not believe putting a view counter will be a good idea. I know that not many people view my site but seeing a small number every week may cause depression. I used to get opinions from a lot of people and now get the odd one or two. I know some people are waiting for my entry into science fiction and I feel I should provide an update for that. I find it very hard to write science fiction and stories I do not read. Therefore I am likely to have lots of gammier mistakes. Tonight however someone told me about a book called Moon People by Dale M. Courtney, the story is not important yet (I have ordered a copy), what most people will find about on the internet is how badly wrote the book is. This has changed my opinion on me writing science fiction. I believe now if I can think up something (I have started something) it does not matter how badly written as long as people can understand it. Before I had the opinion if it’s worth writing about it is worth writing well.

The science fiction story I have started is set in the future in a time when time travel is available for education. The story is more an example and talks about problems that people could face with time travel such as, going back and changing the past or going forward to get the lottery numbers. I have no date when I will release it and I hope I can finish it. At the moment it is only 347 words long and does require a lot more.

One other comment I did get though regarding time travel is I don’t know if you remember but when I started my time travel into the past theories which in case you haven’t noticed are released once a month, I said I would also talk about travel into the future. I was talking to someone about a theory the other day and feel it would be a good start. I will try and have the time travel into the future theory up before Monday so that it does not affect the normal Monday post.

I really did not want this blog to be me talking random stuff but feel updates are needed. Enjoy your Friday!!

Greek mythology

Having watched Troy (2004) staring Brad Pitt last night it occurred to me that current day are blanking out the Greek religion as just myths by calling it a mythology. I also thought why is it called mythology at all and not another religion? If we called Christianity a mythology because they believe and study myths around a book wrote ages ago people would not like it.

Having looked up the word mythology it “sometimes refers to the study of myths and sometimes refers to a body of myths” (Wikipedia). Then the more interesting quote that answered my question of why it is not classed as a religion “whereas Greek mythology is the body of myths from ancient Greece. The term ‘myth’ is often used colloquially to refer to a false story; however, the academic use of the term generally does not refer to truth or falsity.” So how I understand that is although mythology it sometimes used to study false or made up myths such as movie mythology. It is used in an academic use as the myths around Greece at that time.

But this still does mean one thing. This was a religion that predates Christianity and talks about a different God and Gods than most religions today. I then thought how did the Greek mythology fed away? I found another Wikipedia quote “The widespread adoption of Christianity did not curb the popularity of the myths. With the rediscovery of classical antiquity in the Renaissance, the poetry of Ovid became a major influence on the imagination of poets, dramatists, musicians and artists”. So when Christianity began it was already classed as myths. The date of Greek mythology again from Wikipedia dates “from c. 900-800 BC onward.” This means if the whole of Christianity did for some reason get wiped out and lost (nuclear war, virus outbreak etc), it could be classed as mythology of old mankind by the year 2800.

The mirror world

Ever looked into the mirror and seen your self and the room behind you and wondered if it was another world or just your own reflection? Maybe not but think about it like this, we look into the mirror and we see our own reflection a fraction of a second delayed. We believe it is our reflection we are seeing and not another world. But what if it was another world what if our actions are the same as another world but that world just has everything backwards? How do we know we are not the reflection our mirror image sees?

Short posts and other optional posts to come

I have been asked whether or not I would be willing to write science fictional stories. These would be kind of like large examples of my theories. At first I said no because I felt it would not fit the site but thinking of it longer I feel it may work. I have a few ideas and I am not sure whether or not I will write any purely because of the amount of time building a story would take me. I am going back to university soon so I don't know what level of work I would need to put in for that. I am also looking for extra work and possibly moving out and all this would cause delays.

I have been told by lots of people some of my theories are too long and take too long to read. The next theory that will be posted at 19:00 tonight will be a short one. This will be the first theory in a week.

Comments are allowed on the site but no one seems to use them. Also the people who talk to me on msn are people I already know. I would like to know if people who don't already know me are looking at my site.

Wireless Minds

Some of my earlier posts as well as the movie The Matrix talk about a simulated world. This theory is kind of the same but a way in which it could work. Our brain as much as science can work out does not see, hear, speak, move, etc. What it does do is send signals to different parts of the body for those parts to perform the actions. The eyes are in contact with the brain so it can see and the ears so it can hear. But the brain is not seeing and is not hearing. The brain is still just sending signals out. Using this logic it would be very easy to fool the brain. Just catch these signals and relay another message. Kind of like getting a letter that is meant for someone else opening it reading it and changing it and then resending it. The brain would not know anything was wrong. So it could be possible to relay every message that is meant for the brain. This would mean the brain would never know anything apart from what it has been told. Kind of like what it does now. How do you know you are really sitting there reading this? You know because you think are there and you can look around and relate to your surroundings.

What does this mean? This has a flaw for why would something do this? The Matrix (amazing movie watch it if you haven’t) tells us of a story about a whole race of human beings being kept to create power to power the machines. This means the whole human race is in The Matrix just to create power from the human body. This relies on science from this world applying to the next or last or what ever the world is. The idea of the human body has and is present in this world. There is no reason to expect the world where this world was created has the human body. There are of course reasons to expect it, such as examples or ideas but there is no reason why they could not have just made the human body in an older program and just improved on it. This is relating a lot to computers of our world but from can be done with the use of computers there are going to be some amazing things to come.

Why is this post called Wireless Minds? Well there is another theory which only came to me today. What if the reason we are not using the full power of our brains is because our brains are not really what is running our bodies. You can sit on a computer and work the computer and get it to do what you want it to do. That computer is following your orders. You can get up off that computer and go onto another computer. That computer now follows your orders. What if our body is being worked wirelessly by another being? What if we are being controlled wirelessly by some computer or even another kind of living form? The human race has very few if any enemies to be honest in my opinion the biggest enemy of the human race is the human race. War, fighting, greed, etc seems to be the biggest problems to the human race. We have managed to control pretty much the whole world.

Power can cause people to act differently; people who were once great could change themselves because they feel they are better. The human race has felt it was better than every other life form on this planet so although there are people who believe we are living with the animals they are only really living because we let them live. The human race has taken over a lot of this amazing creation of what we call earth and turned it into something mankind will enjoy living on. There are parts of the world mankind have barely touched but to go and see them will be to touch them.

What does all this have to do with a simulated world or wireless mind? Well if we look at what we have done with power we can see what someone else could have done with us. Having control over the whole human race and getting it to work perfectly would be boring. If we are all being controlled by something else, our bad actions, our war, our greed and our control could be their thought. Think of it as a game, you are given the power to create, brake or simply do anything you want. So you make the perfect world. The entire human race living perfectly supporting each other no problems in the world. How quickly till you get bored? Think about having the power to be able to change the world but seeing the world as only your play thing. You could play out anything you wanted. Why make the perfect world all the time when you could make a mess like we have? Maybe this world was made perfect but started going down hill and was left on to see what would happen. Only time will tell but what is likely to happen if this is a fake world it is likely to just be turned off.

TTTP5 Time recorder

This theory assumes mankind will have the technology to be able to record the events of the whole universe. This theory means that it is possible to create a machine that can record the variables of time and space. This machine would allow the user to go back in time or forward to recorded events. Access to unrecorded events would not be possible due to how this theory works.

An example, a man wants to go back in time to place bets on a horse that has just come first in a recent race. The time traveller uses the device to go back in time places the bet and depending on how the devices works returns to his time or just waits it out. Should the person meet himself however it is unknown what would happen? It could induce and would likely cause a paradox. If they one met ones self in a universe that does not support branching time lines it would cause some problems. The time one has spent talking to ones earlier self has created a problem because it may delay the earlier self from travelling. Also the lack of memory of meeting ones earlier self is also hard to explain. Without connecting onto the first theory TTTP1 everything is set it is hard to understand how this would work. One way it could be explained is that the memories are instantly created in ones own mind. They then remember meeting themselves and time is slightly changed.

Hawking’s theory of no tourists from the future is valid here because no such device exists yet. But how the world could exist with a device like this is unknown. It is unlikely to be allowed to be used for tourists due to the amount of paradoxes it could and would cause.

There are two possibilities on how the device would work. One would be it just records time and one can view it. Or one would be as talked above a way to an earlier re-enter time. The latter is of course more extreme in terms of technology. If the device only allows the person to view the recorded events then it would be like a massive Closed-circuit television (CCTV) system. It would be able to monitor everything and could be extremely valuable for law enforcements. But like TTTP4 Time travel is unnoticeable this would cause problems to privacy.

This theory has a number of holes which are clearly seen. It has no way of preventing paradoxes unless the viewer is viewable and would require technology on a seeming impossible scale. It may be possible or may not be but the truth is it could well be the end of the universe if it is. If this is a simulated world it could lead to accessing the real world and be using some power from it. Think about this for a second if this is a simulated world and all the actions are recordable then if somehow mankind or even aliens managed to access the record button and the play button it could work. It may not even be known it is a simulated world at that point science is after all best guessed. The best guess may be that mankind invited a way of recording everything where in reality they are just accessing power from another reality. The next theory will be TTTP6 The future is not set so therefore can be changed freely.
