Excerpt from an article by Lisa Zyga, Copyright 2006 PhysOrg.com entitled “Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century”:

“The Grandfather Paradox [where you go back in time and kill your grandfather] is not an issue,” said Mallett. “In a sense, time travel means that you’re traveling both in time and into other universes. If you go back into the past, you’ll go into another universe. As soon as you arrive at the past, you’re making a choice and there’ll be a split. Our universe will not be affected by what you do in your visit to the past.”

Think.

If we were to assume this to be true, then going into the past to change something would thrust you into a new universe and you could never get back into your own, so essentially you changed nothing, and anything that happens differently in that universe as a result of your actions would merely be an illusion of change. So what’s the point?

There is a theory out there which states that we are all figments of each other’s imaginations.  In essence, I only exist because you and I believe I exist and you only exist because you and I believe you exist.

Think.

Under this theory if someone can believe something to be true they can alter reality.

Problem.

This could be possible at least when a person is alone and no one else’s precepts of reality are in the way, but how could we ever know or prove it since it requires that person being completely alone?

Also, a problem lies in how would one create a new reality?  If believing hard enough you could see the altered reality with your eyes and believe it was real enough is the issue here, than how come ever person on an acid trip isn’t affecting reality?  One possible answer could be that the subconscious mind is still clinging to tightly to the original perception of reality and is maintaining an awareness that reality is that the hallucinations are not real making the reality that they are hallucinations as opposed to an altered reality.

Filming it would not work because as soon as you showed the tape to others their precepts of reality could interfere and either change what was on the tape or their minds simply would refuse to see what was on the tape.

Ponder.

If the problem lies in more than one person sharing  a common vision and belief hard enough, what of mass hallucinations?  Why are groups suffering a mass hallucination unable to alter the state of reality?  Is it that each sees a different version of that reality and in order to actually affect change from a hallucination to altered reality there needs to be an exact common vision of what that altered reality is?  If it were possible to get a group of people to all have the exact same hallucination and could get them to believe it was reality, could they in fact change reality?

Note.

Again.  It made sense in my head.  I was stoned.
