Since there was some interest shown by OPPers
I thought it appropriate to expound further

Just another thing about time travel
Quantum theory suggests that there is a possibility that all possible events,
however strange,might occur,and every possible outcome of every event exists in it's own world
In other words,all possible pasts and futures,like the one where you didn't read this post but read something else instead,are potentially real
,
They all coexist alongside each other
Now lets suppose that we invent a time machine that allows us to move between those alternative time lines
Then you could set about k*****g grandfathers to your hearts content,by moving back on one timeline,
indulging your inexplicable murderous grudge against your grand father,and then proceeding forward on another timeline

And if you think all of these notions of parallel worlds and other dimensions are nonsense,please note that Jonathan Keats,a San Francisco -based experimental philosopher,has already
begun selling real estate in those extra dimensions of space and time
In fact,he sold 172 lots of extradimensional real estate in the San Francisco Bay area in just one day
I'm not sure what that proves exactly,other than the fact that there are people in California who will pay good money for things that may not exist.
which perhaps says more about California than about scientific theory
Also --can you see those people trying to enforce their property rights when faced with a ray gun wielding monster from another dimension???

I remember reading a book about the time patrol. They exist in a temporal bubble, and can monitor the current timeline against their database. Then they send out some trouble shooters to fix things. If I remember correctly, it was a series of books. I'll have to see if I can find them again. Anyone know what the series was, or the author? Wait a second...*Jumps on Google*...Here it is. For all you science fiction buffs.

Are you two speaking directly from the Twilight Zone, me Swabby Mateys

Little Ball of Hate

Slatten49. A portrait of a sparse little man, who feeds off his self delusions, and finds himself constantly hungry; for want of greatness in his diet. And like some goose stepping predecessors, he searches for something to explain his hunger and to rationalize why the world passes him by without saluting. That something he looks for, and finds, is in a sewer. In his own twisted and distorted lexicon, he calls it fate, strength, t***h. But in just a moment, he will ply his trade on another kind of corner. A strange intersection in a shadow land called the Twilight Zone.

Little Ball of Hate

I just thought I'd yank his chain, while doing a Rod Serling impersonation.

Obviously, a quote from an old Twilight Zone script.

Ah-hah, , just as I had thought

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Well, for starters, BB...you're way "out there."

Little Ball of Hate

I love that show. The irony is overwhelming, and the intro dialog is just awesome.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I couldn't agree more, as I was a huge fan.

badbobby Loc: texas

maybe so
but I have fun
and while attempting to elevate your knowledge
I get sarcasm
you are certainly unappreciative

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

And, you provide much entertainment for those who follow you

Not me, of course, but those BB-Bots who follow you.
