That is exactly what I've been trying to say about time travel for years, only more clearly than I could have put it. <BR/><BR/>A wholly different problem: atoms rebound off of each other because they have three-dimensional clouds of negative-repelling electrons around them. If you dropped in another atom from the fourth dimension, you could have a positively charged nucleus sitting right next to an attractive electron. My grasp of nuclear physics was never all that good, but it seems like in this case the electron would fall into the nucleus, effectively turning a proton into a neutron - and changing the atomic number of the atom.B322https://www.blogger.com/profile/18257802768718375656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-241003405505884402009-02-05T18:57:00.000-08:002009-02-05T18:57:00.000-08:00BTW, the most famous David and Solomon were father...BTW, the most famous David and Solomon were father and sonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-63614516722802257842009-02-05T18:14:00.000-08:002009-02-05T18:14:00.000-08:00The story was called "All You Zombies" and was of ...The story was called "All You Zombies" and was of course wholly improbable.

Time trave...Heinlein didn't understand time travel.<BR/><BR/> Time travel as we know it, presupposes a model of infinitely numerous "universes" or timelines, in which when one "goes back in time" one creates a new timeline. <BR/><BR/> The principal problem in time travel is not "the grandfather paradox" but the conservation of matter and energy. If you go back in time to where you were ten years ago, let's say, the earth's mass has just increased by, say, 200+ pounds. Two of you now exist.<BR/><BR/> The binding curve of energy meets "Something's Got To Give". Since matter can not be created nor destroyed (except by sourcing or sinking energy) that 200 lbs has to be "paid for" by an amount of energy equivalent to a number of hydrogen bomb detonations (at 500 kT each) equal to your weight in dimes, since, a 500 kT explosion results in a loss of matter of about a dime's mass.<BR/><BR/> If you can pay that bill, and time travel is possible, going back in time and interacting with people back there creates a new time line. Let's say you "get there before your dad did" with regard to Mother. You have sired a whole new time line, of course, one on which you and the new half-you are co-travellers. Now you go back to your timeline (which might be the harder part, without say just holing up for thirty years.) There are now two new your-timelines you can go back to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-64883875301458339612009-02-04T22:57:00.000-08:002009-02-04T22:57:00.000-08:00If she's that sophisticated then maybe she will ha...If she's that sophisticated then maybe she will have high-IQ children.
