    Melt your brains over this! :pac:

    If a person went back 5 years and killed their younger self. What would happen? By the younger version dying there would be no older version. No older version means its impossible to kill your younger self :pac: or is there? lol.





    yeah. am bored. sue me.

    The newer you who went back would vanish in a puff of reality once you killed yourself.. simple..Now go to Amsterdam and spend a week watching the windmills turning, over and over

    Didn't an episode of family guy solve this mind boggling conundrum?

    I'm guessing your younger self would kick your assss, and in doing so kick his own assss, what a mind fook for him as he starts to disappear from the photos.

    Time travel is possable, my self on Saturday 17th November at 11pm set my alarm on my phone to go off at exactly 6am on Sunday 18th November , I closed my eyes and in a matter of no time at all the dam alarm went off. I felt like I had no sleep at all.

    I checked around me to see if there were tyre tracks of fire but all I could see was skid marks in my underpants

    In DBZ , you could kill yourself and still return to your own time. It's a different timeline.

    Marty, don't do it. You'll destroy the entire space time continuum and existence itself. Admittedly, this is all speculation as my delorean isn't ready yet..... Feck, I want a flux capacitor. :pac:

    You'd create an alternate reality where your younger self was dead. If you stayed in this reality, then you'd also have disappeared in your original reality.

    That's the standard time travel conundrum.

    You cannot go back to change something specific because once you change it you have no reason to go back.

    However you can go back and change something at random. Because you are going back with no specific intent you will keep going back regardless of what you change

    Why wouldnt there be an older version if the younger guy was killed ? The older version already exists, how can he not exist ? Killing the young guy wouldnt do anything to him.

    You'd be two seperate entities and nothing would happen except you would get arrested for murder if you hung around.

    They have Time Travel cops to sort all this out.

    You obviously have not watched any quality movies in your past life ... please let me introduce Mr. Jean-Claude Van Damme (your welcome in advance)

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Do you remember that film The One with Jet Li, yeah that was a good film. Nothing to do with time travel but had alternate dimensions, yeah that was cool.
