    i was thinking about the grandfather paradox and the reason why it could be disproven. first of all lets talk about time travel for this to be possible we must think of time as two relative entitiies the subject timeline and the enviromental timeline. the subject being the observer who has moved from one pointg in time to another which is constant and the enviromental timeline being the one that the observer is in.

    the theory of for every moment in time an infinite amout of possibilites exsist with in diffrent dimensions comes in very handy here.
    lets say a man exsist in one enviromental time line manages to go back in time the min he does he creates a new set of infinite dimensions which does not effect the dimension he originally comes from so there for if he kills his grandfather before his father is born then in that new enviromental dimension the subject is never born but due to he fact that in his time line he was born he is orignal from a diffrent dimesnion.thus logically disproving the grandfather paradox. but also logically theorising as you timetravel you also travel through to a newly created dimension which is seeded from the orignal timeline.
    also saying that if u move through a worm hole from one point in space to another i dont belive this is time travel just because you can look back and see ur self. the truth u are not exsiiting in to points in space at the same time it is just that you have beaten the energy that you have given off at one point in space to another point in space

    can you rephrase this

    infinite dimensions is not the best phrase to use, perhaps infinite parallel universes

    if you are saying a parallel universe is created by time travel, where does the energy to create it come from ? (by definition there won't be enough energy in our universe to create a copy of it's self)

    first of all lets talk about time travel for this to be possible we must think of time as two relative entitiies the subject timeline and the enviromental timeline.
    This is a science forum so you would have to show reasons why we "must" think of time this way ;)
    yes I am being pedantic on this but if we can only discuss this within your terms it ain't science.

    it's fine for theory's to come in handy, a very handy one for some is that matter is constantly created but we have a lot of evidence that shows the big bang and an expanding universe are far more likely, if you want to use a theory then justify it ( Hint, the paradox of time travel could be used to justify parallel universes, but parallel universes don't imply time travel )
