Hanslune Posted March 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I maintain email relations with a number of interesting folks some of who if they posted here we would label as 'woo' worshipers, nuts, madmen(women) etc., Among all the gobbly-gook about Corona. A small gem appeared from a German friend who is well read, un-educated and unfettered by science. His new idea: Time traveling earthquakes. His view is this: That our current reality is well real the only real realness but behind us we leave the pass but it is still real to our earlier selves and the CIA & a whole bunch of other lettered organizations have been sending 'time traveling earthquakes' to disrupt those earlier realities. Why? Because they are evil and have plans for ...well something. I thought I would be remiss to not warn you. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past that's still real to our earlier selves: this is the undisrupted past, then, is it? So, if a time-travelling earthquake was sent back,say, last week to disrupt the (distant) past, how would our present memories of the past cope to accommodate these (later-but-to-us-in-the-past still unknown) disruptions?

The past no longer exists. Any attempt to travel there would theoretically tear spacetime causing a "big rip" and end everything. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask a similar question - but no reply yet however they strike me as - being: weltschmerz, and having an overarching weltanschauung 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be in for some broken windows. I live just and hour or so from a volcano and the region has a history of eruptions just none recently in my area. This two-story house is made out of Popsicle sticks and cardboard - collapse during a bad case of indigestion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His message was just so odd, I mean I've been dealing with woo even before Harte started liking girls (he was into penguins for a while as I understand it) and I don't recall 'Time travelling earthquakes' before.

+DieChecker Posted April 5, 2020 #20 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Are we talking real earthquakes. Ir metaphorical earthquakes. Such as killing Timmy Smith in the past so Little Suzie doesnt marry him 20 years later. If actual physical earthquakes... Woukdnt those be earthquakes that actually happened to us? Otherwise that would cause a paradox of some kind? The CIA, FBI, KGB, MI6... Whomever... Even if they did send something into the past, to change the present, if it worked, they'd not even know it. And thus, everyone would believe the technology didnt even work... even if it did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the various considerations on what happens when you change history, does it change something in the future or does it start a new 'pathway' retaining the original future, or is the future just immune to changes in the past....much debated in Sci-fi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
