Retro Cognition with replacement (TTTP7 Revisit ones own timeline + TTTP8 Revisit ones own ancestry)

Having not posted a time travel theory for a while I thought I would write a spin off. This theory revisits TTTP7 Revisit ones own timeline plus it talks about the possible next theory TTTP8 Revist ones own ancestry. But it should be noted this is not a time travel theory on its own. This is more of an ability someone could gain.

Ever had regrets that you wish you could change? What if you could go back or see the future mistakes your about to make?

Retro Cognition is the ability to remember or have some idea of recall of past events. My earlier post “Post-cognition or retrocognition” talked about this. But what if we could go back and then place ourselves back there? What if we could return and relive all the moments.

Like I said above this is not really a time travel theory because, the person may not really be time travelling. They may really just be getting precognition. The time traveller can travel but only back to the start of the memory gained from their post-cognition state.

So what is this theory about? Well an example is really required here so here it is, a man is aged 30 when he was 29 he broke up with his wife and lost his kids. He realises he can remember the last year or two in perfect detail. He tries to remember where it all started. Whist remembering it he then goes back to that time to when he was just 29. Where this differs from TTTP7 is that he now has full memory of the next year.

Why would this happen? Well we go into Parallel universes again and a reason for this happening is because the ability of post-cognition is rather close to precognition. The ability of precognition should not always be classed as precognition. If the access to precognitive thoughts is limited to a one time line and ends are a certain age. An example would be the guy in our earlier example; he would not have access to any events after he was 30 and would not know anything about the results of changes he makes.

So why does this have TTTP8 features? If the post-cognition memory span was capable of going farther than that of the life of the person with the ability, it may be possible for them to have access to the life and make changes to things before they was even born. There has to be some limitation to this ability such as which parent/grandparent is accessible and if they can take control over other people’s bodies is it part of another ability all together?

I can understand if this theory is hard to read and if I am honest I did not really want to post this theory. I do however have nothing else to post and I wanted to post something today.

A Christmas in Utopia

This theory is based in a world without money, without unemployment and without debt. The country will be called Utopia. Although the following is closer to a dystopia world, in this world no one has ever known any better. This means that the world is all they know. There are no other countries that they know of.

Utopia is very controlled country. There is no war, no hunger, no debt, no money and no unemployment. The government control employment, leisure, child birth, food, transport, religion and relationships. All people of Utopia are allocated supplies and a place to live. When a male in Utopia reaches 21 he is made available for women. When a woman in Utopia reaches 18 she is made available for men. The relationships are fixed no interracial or same sex relationships are allowed. When a male and a female feel they are compatible the female is to move in with the male and her property if her parents are not living there is made available for new people. The male and the female are then allowed to one successful child birth. By this the male is taken to a clinic where he is to donate semen and the woman is then impregnated with that semen. Only one child pre couple is allowed in built up parts of Utopia. In other parts of Utopia depending on certain factors such as IQ, the couple’s trade and the population where they are living, additional children may be allowed. If a woman falls pregnant without permission her child is aborted and DNA taken to determine the father, who is then charged with illegal intercourse.

Crime is very controlled if someone is charged with something they are moved to a prison county and taken away from their family. In the prison county there are no relationships and people are made to work harder than before. If people refuse or do not comply they are charged with failure to support the community and sent to death. The laws are very strict and freedom is limited in Utopia.

When someone is born they are schooled and educated in the ways of live in Utopia. They are controlled and not allowed to be free. When they reach 16 the males get 4 years forced work in the police forces. There is no army as there is only one country and there has never been a war. Women when they reach 16 will learn a trade suited best to them. Women are banned from working in the forces or gaining access to high jobs. A woman is likely to become a nurse or work producing clothing or child care. Some women who were unable to find a partner might be classed as worthless and forced to work as a servant. Women when pregnant were not allowed to work and when the child was born could only work during schooling times. Men after they left the police would be given the option to continue and stay in the police or begin to work as something else. In the police they would be educated in other trades to help them when they leave. The government would put people in jobs that they was best at.

But what about Christmas in Utopia how would Christmas be? Well there is no Christmas in Utopia. Quite simply in the world created there is no Jesus and as a result no Christmas day to celebrate his birthday. That does not mean there are not holidays just not the holidays that are present in our world.

So what would Christmas be like in this Utopia of world? Well let me explain how holidays work in Utopia. Considering the fact that a holiday would be like a massive day off for so many people, the world of Utopia does not have holidays as such. Birthdays are celebrated as a holiday for the birthday person. On a persons birthday in Utopia they are given the day off of work. This is the only time of the year they are given a day off without having to choose.

The birthday holiday is as close to Christmas as there is in Utopia. They do not celebrate New Years as to them there is no start or end of the year, other than their birthday. So the birthday holiday is both New Year and their birthday in one. The start of the year is the same as their date of birth. There is still days and months just nothing to say December is the last month. There is one problem which makes it unlike Christmas or New Years in that friends and family’s birthdates are likely to be different, and as such no holidays. Because pregnancy is regulated most people try to make sure their babies are born close to their parent’s birthdays. A normal birthday holiday is spent with family who ask for a day off. The day starts with another family member cooking for the birthday person. There is no alcohol as all substances that can cause impairment to a person’s ability to work are outlawed. So they eat a meal and enjoy the company around them. People wish them a happy new year as for the birthday person it is a new year. On their birthday they are given access to extra food and drinks to be able to entertain.

This was originally going to be part of a set of stories but in the end merged into one. I was tempted to call it “A Christmas in Dystopia” although I feel that this world would work. It would work because everyone would be under the control of the government. The government would have full power and the human or who ever race it has would work like machines. This means from a government point of view this is a utopian world. The problem is the people of this world would not really enjoy life much. I mean a world where everything required is given to you is not really the perfect world. People enjoy choice people enjoy the ability to say yes and say no. For a government to be able to tell what people can and cannot do is for the person to lose self choice. Personal choice to drink or buy more food, pick your job go on holiday. All these allow a person to experience the best of life. If the lives of everything is restricted to allow everyone equal life, there is no individuality. People should be allowed to choose their own path in life not follow a set example. Christmas is an example of a set event. People year after year enjoy Christmas not because they know the story but because everyone else does. This is proof enough that with choice people does not necessarily mean they will chose to cause problems. The choices in which someone causes problems or does not help society should not be forced but educated otherwise. Merry Christmas and the lesson hear if not very clear is to not preach your ways to others unless their ways are causing pain to others including you!

Ever had a memory and not known where it came from?

Ever had that feeling that you remember buying something or that you did something once, but don’t really remember doing it? What about remembering the actions of someone else when it was impossible for them to have done it? Where do these memories come from? Are they from dreams? Is it déjà vu?

What if you were seeing a memory from another world? What if you were seeing what another you were doing in another world? If this is true then what could you learn from this? If you really are seeing or accessing the memory of another version of yourself you need to be sure you really are. False memories are called confabulation and if it is truly possible for you to access the memories from another world there may be some use.

If every possibility is played out then knowing what other versions of you have done may be valuable. Think of the mistakes other versions of you may have made? What if you could remember those mistakes and ensure you do not do the same?

Let us have an example, a man goes into a shop and buys coke. On leaving the shop he opens the bottle of coke and then trips over and spills it all over himself. This is sticky and the man is in a rush so cannot get changed. If another version of this man could access the memory of spilling the coke then he could buy another drink such as water.

But this would only be possible with access to the future knowledge and not knowing the present. If this ability is possible surely only present actions would be viewable? Which would prevent accessing the mistakes of other versions? A simple answer to this question is, what would have happened if you were born a year earlier? Sure there would be changes such as different food being ate in pregnancy different birthdates different so many things that it would be near impossible for you to be completely the same till you went in a shop and bought water or coke. But if there was infinite number of parallel universes where everything is played out, then it is possible. The problem is more about how access to these memories is possible.

This is one way it could work. Every universe has neighbours such as neighbours of flats, so you can hear what is going on in the neighbour’s flats. Now the rule of this listening in is that you can only hear the thoughts/memories of your other self. If you managed to be lucky enough that a parallel universe with another you was right next to your universe, you may be able to listen in.

Having all these values right may be hard and gains are not very clear. This does not make it impossible but may make knowing the advantages hard. Just in future if you remember something that might have happened but did not. Do not just forget about it for it may be a memory from another world.

Dual or multiple time lines

This post is a theory I have had for a long time and featured it briefly in my journal I wrote for university.

We view time as a linear line. We see time as a process of something happening and the ability to know something having a start and an end. We view time as the morning the afternoon the evening the night. But what if the time was both the morning and the afternoon for the same person at the same moment?

Imagine that time is not just one line but more like a zig zag or river like. This would mean that there is not one thing happening at one time but lots of things. The birth of person could be happening at the same time as his first day at school, his wedding and his death. All these would be happening at the same time but just different parts of river. This is multiple time lines.

What about a dual time line? We understand and view time in a linear line. What if there was more than one thing happening. What if we had two view points in time? We could already have two view points and just not be aware of them. They might not be aware of each other.

Think about this, every moment has already happened. The moment where you are reading this is just one moment. One thinks it is linear only because when starting a new “moment block” one starts with the memory of the previous block. Therefore you see the world in a linear fashion. But just seeing the world in this fashion does not mean it is linear. Think of a grid of 16x16 “moment blocks” or “memory blocks”. All the moments could be put into the gird into any order. The result would not be out of order because each time a new moment is started the memory from the last one is blanked and at the start of the block it had the preceding information. Using this logic it may even be possible to say that nothing has ever happened and what is remembered is only remembered because it was told at the start of the block. This could even mean that the universe is just made up of moment blocks and they are in no order what so ever. Think about a movie the start the middle and the end. The movie is like one block and one view of that block. If there were lots of blocks all being viewed at the same time but by different people there would be no reason to think someone else is watching another block unless one knew about it.

So what could be gained from this? Well for one if we are viewing all points at the same time of our life, then if we can become aware of the other view points we can see into the future/past. If we are not viewing but living in a river timeline we may be able to, jump on the bank and back in the river, so to speak. This would enable one to travel into different moments. Just because we view time from one angle does not mean it is what we see. Viewing a three dimensional object from one angle can make it look two dimensional. Just because time looks linear does not mean it is.

December 6th Update

As I am sure you have noticed there was not a time travelling post last month. This was not only because I was too lazy to right one but because I am running out of ideas. The post “TTTP8 Revisit ones own ancestry” is still being worked on but the theory I feel is quite hard to understand. It is the ability to go back in time by taking place of your granddad etc. This theory was used in movie series Trancers and the game series Assassins Creed. That will be updated and posted some time this month.

The “Lesson in Time Travel” I have given up on. The story was script based so there was a lot of “said him” or “he replied”. This made the story very hard to write and was more like reading minutes than a story.

Lastly tomorrows post may again be later as I haven’t wrote anything for tomorrow yet. I am not getting ideas I feel are worth putting up. I also am getting tempted to revisit old theories and build on them. A lot of people though have asked me to talk about other peoples theories and build my own ideas on them. I plan to talk about some theories of other people it’s just they require a lot more research. I have to not only read their theories but understand them to the point where I can add my own ideas where I feel they was wrong.

Fourth Dimension

First dimension, forwards and backwards, second dimension, left and right, third dimension, up and down. But what about the fourth dimension? Is it time? Is there something else?
In a one dimensional world nothing can move left or right.
In a two dimensional world nothing can move up or down.
In a three dimensional world nothing can move….?
What would movement in the fourth dimension be? The fourth dimension to some people is considered time. Time is a movement that allows other movement. Without time movement in the other dimensions would not be possible. But what if there was another dimension of movement? Let us pretend time is the fifth dimension and the fourth is something else.
In a two dimensional world nothing can move up or down, so a three dimensional object would effetely disappear when moving up or down. Using this logic a four dimensional object would appear invisible when travelling in the forth dimension. The human body is three dimensions are we have eyes that can see two dimensions with depth to allow semi three dimensional sight. We cannot see all three dimensions, what if two dimensional objects can only see one dimensions. Using this logic we can presume that a four dimensional object with visual sight can see three dimensions.

Four one dimensional lines linked together form a two dimensional object as in a square. Six squares linked together form a three dimensional cube. Again using this logic what would happen if cubes formed together? The answer has been named on Wikipedia and Teamikaria. The answer on Wikipedia was Tesseract and means an eight cell cube. The answer on Teamikaria was a cubinder. Some of these shapes are pretty scary such as the Duocylinder when seen rotating. Is this because they are impossible or just impossible in our world?

Shadows from a two dimensional object are a line or a one dimensional object. Shadows from a three dimensional object are two dimensional. Again using this logic it would a safe to presume that a four dimensional object would project a three dimensional shadow.

All the above is just ideas to think about. What if there is another dimension and we just cannot see it or sense it. Our three dimensional objects cannot sense a fourth dimension because they just are not made to sense it. What if we learned to travel into the fourth dimension would we just disappear?

In my opinion the fourth dimension is the inside and outside. But of a fourth dimensional object. What if we could travel in and out of our world? Think of a line then give that line another line crossing into it. That line is not a cross. That is now two dimensions now move a line up and down from it. The line is now three dimensions. Now draw another line through the inside and out the other side. The result cannot be achieved. The idea is that if something could go inside and outside we could not see that object travelling inside or outside just know it had. I do not understand it myself and it is my opinion.

A theory of the beginning

This came to me over the last few years in bits and pieces and seems to fit together. I have always had some weird thought that knowing the past is one step towards knowing the future. That past cognition is as good as post cognition. The following is what I came up with over time.

In the beginning there was an end. Although seemingly impossible there was an end. The end was caused by man. The human race kept expanding and expanding in this universe. They discovered a way to create another world. The human race discovered a way to play god and to create a fully living world. The world and worlds they created had fully populated humans living and breathing. They discovered a way for them to go into these worlds. Out of the world they was god in the world they was just a normal person. The human race was able to move into these worlds at the time of the destruction of the universe. The problem with this was that if their universe ended the world they hid inside would also end. So they started to create another universe from within this world that they had created. This universe was created and that universe grew to become the one your in now. This universe is the universe that will end. The loop goes on and on and on. But if at the very start there is a universe about to end then surely like dominos they will all start to kill them all off? The answer is that it is what has caused this universe. For we will not create this universe we will create the reason and the cause. This universe started with a bang and the bang was caused by us and the end of last universe. We cannot create ourselves but our creation will create us.

So what does this mean and how is this possible. There are a few things that can cause problems. One is that for this theory to work time is looping and not linearly. If time is linearly and is looping then time is set. Time has a set line that will repeat forever. So what about religion? It is not to say religion is wrong as and religion is still possible. If changes are slightly made in this theory such as they managed to leave a message in the universe saying it was created and the messiah will take us to the new world. This story still works. What if we are the new world? What if we are where the prophet will take us? What if the savour of mankind is just a normal person and will create this world that we will go to. Is there a god? Well yes but god is anyone who creates the world.

What is reality? Reality is the loop. The meaning of life is to live in the loop and to make it work. Is there free will? There is free will but only to stay in the loop. For the end has been set as was the beginning but this does not mean the middle has been. Ever had that feeling you were hear before? Déjà vu is the feeling you have been here before. What if the reason for déjà vu is because you have lived this moment before? This theory explains the feeling of us not being in the real world as well as having past lives. What if we can change some things but unlimitedly everything is set. There are points in time that will forever happen, JFK getting shot or 9/11 etc. What if these moments are fixed but your life is not
