time travel its futilities and god.

i keep thinking of time travel.
i think it would be awesome when we can finally travel in time. then we would start living life in 3D. instead of the uni-directional time travel we now engage in. past and future would become relative concepts. todays future can be yesterday just because i went back in time and did something there. or tomorrow comes before today, because i went ahead yesterday and changed something there. our watches would have to become multi channel, with specific timelines for specific tasks, and all time shall be referred to as 0+2 or 0-24 hrs, time shall now need to be referred to in coordinates, x and y or x,y and z. none of the o'clock concepts shall exists. (i already had this concept of time becoming relative dialogue with kshitij while touring the greenwich median. it was a stimulating conversation, that kshitij and i had, which involved scaring tourists away, and stern looks from the museum guards. good times!) yeah, so in my wandering over 3dimensional time travel, i just realized something... its all crap. i cant go to the future, it hasnt happened yet. a series once described time as a book, just because you are on chapter two, chapter 3 and 4 dont not exist. but i think time is more like a work in progress, each day, space gets written. you can only travel in time to points in space, hence since the future has not been written yet, hence you cant be in space that doesn't exist.

unless, you believe that god/nature/universe has a purpose for you. in which case, the space in the future, or the events within those space, has already been provided for, thus making future travel possible. it also makes future travel futile, becase the same force that put the future there, would try to ensure that it stays unchanged and since those forces that put them there, are powerful enough to put them there, and hence will also be strong enough and determined enough to keep it that way.

thats all i got on time. besides wasting it. profusely.
[so that is post one of the week. two to follow soon. real soon]

haha, the idea is funny...time without consequences

and very poorly written. i cant believe you thought this was funny :)

but yeah, time without consequences. you could change anything. question everything. or as put by, frequently asked questions about time travel: you could edit parts of history to profit from it. :)

but apologies for poorly written words and the obscene use of the word hence.

I think the third dimension is th consequence of th action you have done in th 2D world or linear world as you have said..

more than a consequence, it is a byproduct. we create the third dimension of time, while we navigate it in the linear sense. since we have moved from today to tomorrow, we have a yesterday to go back to. if it were only linear, then all we could do was go forward.
