Has never thought of different universes?

Eg. you travel back in time and do a falcon punch to hitler's mom while she's pregnant and then there's no fuhrer.

from that moment you created a new universe etc.

Has nobody seen cartoon network, gawd damn it?

The idea that there is more than one universe is used by theorists why have crazy ideas that only work if there are multiple universes.

It's a retarded idea. I am pretty sure there is only one. Occam's Razor and all.

Clearly we should travel back in time and shoot a T-Rex. I'm only suggesting this because I've never read a short story about that topic. blink.gif

Well there was this one book in the Animorphs series. They were in an explosion which put them back into time and they morphed into animals and shizz and took down an attacking t-rex. Then proceeded to eat it and make it into jerky for later. Supposedly tasted like swordfish.

If anything, they'd be more of a gamey-bird taste.

Time travel will fail, IMO, it is one of those things that is best left alone, You mess with that shit, its gonna eff you up, lol.

It would also take away the ramifications of choice, which is one of the reasons for living the way we do, without choice, we are robots.

Free will is an illusion under which we operate because few people could cope with the truth.

Sounds nice, but i choose not to believe that, without choice, what is the point of life, if our life has already been mapped out, what is the fun in it.

Are you saying you believe in fate or that all our actions have boundaries due to social conditions?

Nice? Of course it's not nice.
But reality has never operated under the constraints of "niceness".

Ultimately, nothing has any point.
But like I said, few people can deal with the truth, so they choose to ignore it.

Damn you sunscorch, lol, too late for me to put rational thought into it, but i dont think life has any meaning, purpose, it is what it is, we get up, we go to work, we come home, we live the same routine until we die, unless, WE choose to take a diferrent route, to live life to the full, be what we can be, go places youve never been.

Live life how it was meant to be lived, dont just sink into conformity and be bored till you die.

All life is contrained however by social engineering and dynamics. Whether you like it or not. The only people truly free, are those free both culturally and socially from these ideas. Or, well, those with sociopathic disorders.
