|    Grandfather Paradox    |
|    24 Jan 24 08:05:14    |
      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              Physicists like Steven Hawking complained about the property of       Cosmos and time called the "cosmic censorship". This mean that       the objects and the information cannot travel back in time.              What would happen in we could?              Typically, the paradox speaks about someone travelling back in time       to accidentally or purposefully kill his great-grandfather before he       begot his grandfather. But this would have the effect that his       grandfather would not have been born, so not his father, and not him.       So unlike "Back to the Future", he would immediately stop existing the       moment his great-grandfather died. But then he would not exist at all in the       timeline, and he could not kill his great-grandfather, so his grandfather,       his father and him would be again be born, but then he would repeat the       cycle, being able to kill his great-grandfather again.              Now, depending on the effect of great-grandfather, grandfather, father and       the time traveler on mankind, the large parts of mankind would remain       in quantum existing and non-existing state at the same time.              In the theory of a simulated Universe or a Multiverse on a supercomputer of       great power ran by some higher civilisation or being, this would eventually       overload material projectors confused whether to generate certain parts       of simulation or not, potentially leading to the collapse of simulation as       a whole.              A large part of the mankind and earth, depending on the life influence       of this family line, would become unstable, forever existing and non-       existing in the state of being or not.              It is possible that in an infinite number of Universes in the Multiverse       simulation, all simulations that did not prohibit traveling backward in       time collapsed, so our argument of cosmic censorship is athrophocentric:       in all (or most) of the Universes that did to prohibit travel back in time       someone tried to fix the past or the future and annihilated himself and       the Universe in the process.              How could that be? You could argue that only a couple of people would       kill his father, grandfather or great-grandfather or other ancestor,       and that they deserve all that happens to them, even being erased from       the timeline forever?              But maybe it could be done for the greater good?              Imagine, I saw the other day the article titled: "You could actually kill       young Hitler before he causes WW2" implying some young politician.              Now, what would be the implications of traveling back in time to       kill Hitler i.e. in WW1, before he ever conceived WW2 or concentration       camps? But then again, this person's parents or grandparents would       never meet in this other timeline - again zapping him from existence.       Considering the impact of Adolph Hitler on the known world and mankind,       the vast majority of the world would stuck flip-flopping forever in a       quantum state of simultaneously existing and not existing.              In a case of simulated earth, this would surely overload and collapse       simulation, but even in the case of quantum Universe this would       impact serious implications, creating a "Schröddinger Universe,       forever existing and not-existing in the state of existing and       not existing until being observed by a higher entity.              Eventually, the simulation would be restored by erasing the       time-traveling murderer himself from the existence rather than Hitler,       which would be explanation why we do not see such an effect.              The second explanation is that the other reality in which we would       zap ourselves from the existence occurs as "deja-vu" or changing       our mind, after being fixed by the Time Guardians, in which our action       was not deserving to erase us from the timeline, but we need some       memory not to repeat it again and again, for the stability sake.              in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Longsuffering       Amen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
