| May 5, 2015 at 19:52 | comment | added | JDługosz | Popping into a timeline that does not exist sounds likemthe traveler's problem: he just disappears and does not continue his world-line anywhere else. The universe he left is still unchanged. | |
| May 5, 2015 at 19:50 | comment | added | JDługosz | The new wording of paradox proof implies that time has a meta-time where different tracks exist like different strips of movie film. Then you can't destroy all, but meerly move to a different strip that is damaged, without affecting the original. | |
| May 5, 2015 at 19:47 | comment | added | JDługosz | @wposeyjr yes, like other laws, they can be formulated on an "action" principle. The real consistency principle works that way: quantum mechanis as usual, but with different topology for possible space-time paths. Think double-slit experiment, with wormholes. | |

| May 5, 2015 at 18:11 | comment | added | wposeyjr | @JDługosz the anti-paradox principle isn't a sentient being or actual power. It's more like the law of inertia is to physics. If a block is sitting on a table it will remain motionless, likewise, if you travel in time and cause a paradox, the universe will ignore it and pretend it isn't there. It's more paradox-proof than it is anti-paradox I suppose. I'll edit the question to reflect that. | |

| May 5, 2015 at 3:26 | comment | added | Schwern | Humans can't survive more than one trip, what about robots or other devices? Can we send machines back in time multiple times? | |
| May 4, 2015 at 23:15 | comment | added | JDługosz | Wouldn't the anti-paradox principles simply find that the easiest thing to do is break the time machne? | |

| May 4, 2015 at 19:36 | comment | added | Jax | What if he resolves to go back and somehow stop the Big Bang (don't know why they call it at: there was no bang) from happening? | |

| May 4, 2015 at 19:25 | comment | added | wposeyjr | @Samuel I suppose that's fine. He just wants everything he can possibly destroy to be destroyed with as small of an initial input as possible. It is a little joke I suppose haha. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | Samuel | Right, so he's not much of a scientist. It's just a little joke. Does spacetime need to be destroyed? Or just things like life, stars, planets, and molecules? Literally no one would know the difference. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 19:18 | comment | added | wposeyjr | @Samuel He intends on destroying everything including himself. He has no intention of anything not being annihilated. He doesn't even care about ego anymore he just wants everything gone. | |
| May 4, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | Samuel | He sounds more like an evil engineer, or does he have a control group for a universe that's not annihilated? | |
