And if you went back in time and changed something, it wouldn't change the present (like poof and someone disappears), it would change from that point in the past onwards.

I couldn't of course watch somebody "fade away," because if they never existed in the first place, I wouldn't be hanging out with them. I'd be elsewhere, or would never have been born either.<BR/><BR/>Or, if you really could get away with neatly removing a single person from the universe, without affecting anything else, I would just be sitting on the bus, and the person across from me would stop being there, and I wouldn't have a memory of him having been there at all.<BR/><BR/>I thought quantum physicists had already solved this problem with the multiverse theory? And hasn't it also been addressed in a Simpsons Halloween Special?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22810607.post-50910392315980773732008-07-27T13:05:00.000-07:002008-07-27T13:05:00.000-07:00great post, definitely a good read, haha and i lov...great post, definitely a good read, haha and i love the image, thats why i think math is so appealing; cuz it is so purepaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11646769502762001963noreply@blogger.com
