In Response To: Re: this is awesome, I love this stuff (Forrest of B.org)

: I look forward to seeing your reply, however I don't see how we disagree. All
: I'm saying is: (1) Either backward time-travel would result in paradoxes
: (making it logically impossible to affect the past), or it wouldn't
: (making it logically possible to affect the past).
Yeah, after thinking about it more (and doing all of the bloody math), I do think we agree. For the most part. :)
: (2) If it is possible, either the effects of it were already accounted for in
: the original timeline (implying loops in the diagram of timelines), or
: they weren't (implying branches in the diagram of timelines).
I finally figured out what you were saying, but the reason I was having trouble was I just assumed that you were talking about viable branches that people could travel down if they felt like it. After working out all of the math I hit a hitch in my theory and I have not solved the problem yet.
But I now I completely agree with you on the branching thing. I just misunderstood what you were saying. :)
: You seem to be saying that it is possible (you can affect the past) and does
: not loop (the effects are not already accounted for), which just is what
: I'm calling multilinear time.
Right, yeah. The specifics about where these extra branches come from and where they go and stuff like that is where I began making assumptions about what you were saying. My bad... :P
As it is, everything I typed up about it is sitting on my computer but it trails off where I found my hitch. This is the first time I tried explaining everything in mathematical terms. So thanks for getting me to do that... now I have to go figure out how to build a cause/effect chain in terms of our four dimensions.
I wonder if anyone else out there has done all of this work already... hmm.
