    For an interesting treatment of some of the paradoxes of time travel - take a read of "Consider Her Ways and Others" by John Wyndham.

    As whether time travel has already happened - and that we would not know about it and probably won't until the 'how' is discovered. The theory that JFK was assassinated by a time traveler in order to prevent the start of world war 3 - has been postulated as an explantation as to the mystery of his death and the enigma of his shooting.

    Is it possible? Who knows? Maybe we will find out in the future ...

    This was a story in the 2000AD comic book back in the 90's also,
    it was Kennedy himself that ordered the assassination from an underground bunker in the future.

    What about if each Quantum of Time is a Universe ? ? ?

    Yes, and if I recall from that thread in 2025, I made a stupid (but true) comment on Post 23 about the clothes that mods wear are from a different time, and subsequently got banned for that comment.
    Won't make that mistake this time 'round though.
    There is a chance you will upset the time space continuim if you do not post your comment at preciecly post 23. Hopefully the impact won't be too bad.

    I reckon if... if time travel was ever possible it would probably be cause by some crazy event in the universe. Some sun going super nova... few huge black holes near by.

    That's what the 'machine elves' are there to prevent,
