A whole good minute

Have you ever wished you could go back in time? Change something that you did before? Re-write history? Well, that's what today's post is about. Time Travel.

Imagine if you had a time-machine like Marty McFly , or the ability to bend the time-space-continuum like Hiro Nakamura, what would you do? And more importantly, do you know how time-travel works? If you are looking for a mathematical explanation on time travel, you're in the wrong site my friend. I'm here just to give my opinion and bring up some questions about time travel that should get you thinking for a whole good minute.

There are many types of time-travel, that's what I've noticed through movies and TV-shows anyway. There is of course the time travel where you go back in time with the knowledge you know from the present day. And even this type of time-travel can be split up in to two sub-sections. First is where you have the knowledge of what you know now, and you travel back into the past in your current body. And there is the type of time-travel where you go back in time, but put in the body of "younger you". The latter can be seen in the movie "13 Going On 30." This movie was about a 13 year-old girl, being transported in to her 30 year-old self with only the knowledge of what she knew when she was 13, of course this is traveling to the future, but time travel nonetheless.

So using "13 going on 30" as an example, what happened to the past? I mean she teleported into the future, but if she did, how is there still a 30 year-old her? Maybe she just skipped her entire teen life and her 20's as well. Kind of like in "Click", another movie where the actor gets teleported into the future. For these examples, time-traveling into the future is more like fast-forwarding your life. You don't know whats in the middle, but you're living in the future.

I've probably bored you out by now, so I'll continue this post another time.
Till then, and I say this in the most cliched way possible :

dude, marty??? ahahahaha. man ur freaking random. i like it. ahahaha.

know what i never understood about time travel? when u go back in time, what happens to the future? sure u might go back in time and prevent something bad from happening, but the future is already dented.

so does that mean the future is erased when someone goes back in time? i mean, he can't go back in time, change something, and go back to the future, right? cuz then the future would have no explanation for the changes he made in the past.k read that slowly, then u'd understand. haha
