So, here's the (potential) problem I imagine with going into the past to deliberately change something; If you change the thing you wanted to change, there will be no reason for you to go back because that thing will already be like you want so you won't go back, so it doesn't get changed, and you don't like it so you go back to change it, ect., ect. You'll create an alternating loop, which is what you kind of said. The whole future bending thing; same thing. You don't like what's going to happen so you do something in the present so that thing doesn't happen, so that bad think is not going to happen, so you don't have any reason to do anything different in the present. So that bad thing happens, so you change something in the present, and so on and so on. Same alternating loop. That's my more prominent hypothesis. Bear in mind, I'm an airplane mechanic, not a theoretical physicist.

[@ThatBuckskin-Frank]

Hey, it's that granpappy grandsonny paradoxin' thing!

[@leovaldez680]

All you need to do to avoid this happening is inform the same events to happen. It’s not enough to stop the bad thing from happening, you need to instruct the necessary people to stop it again and again and again, so the timeline sustaines itself. In the fish example he gave, all he needed to do after not eating the fish was ask his wife to pass on the message “Don’t eat the fish”. Then he wouldn’t eat the fish, and he would in turn pass the message on to his wife, so the next him wouldn’t eat the fish, etc. Obviously this doesn’t work on problems like the Grandfather Paradox, since you can’t really instruct someone who doesn’t exist, but this gives you a workaround for some paradoxes

[@davidadams421]

Exactly the same premise in 12 Monkeys.

[@batlrar]

Plus, the reason this is a paradox is that there's no starting event that kicks it all off. Either there was a first timeline where the event didn't happen, or it has somehow always infinitely happened this way in every iteration of the timeline. The thing that resolves the paradox is the realization that multiple events can lead to the same overall outcomes, like if he had already decided to eat the fish that night anyway or if he originally got sick from something else and his wife just assumed it was the fish that did it. Of course this would lead to innumerable other inconsistencies between timelines due to the butterfly effect, but maybe that's where the quantum healing he talked about takes effect?

[@ER1SCO]

@@batlrar Not a theoretical physicist here, but I think the idea is that the timeline represents time itself, and so there cannot be a concept of the timeline changing. There is no time for it to change over! So, there are no iterations. The issue is, for there to be just this one timeline with a loop, it has to be consistent. Otherwise, say this fish example, you could say you end up with a bistability, where you get sick the first time through, then you don't get sick the second time, but then you get sick the third time, and so on. Such a concept of the timeline changing over time seems problematic, though.

Well there's a logical mistake here.

I mean this scenario wouldn't work with what you're trying to teach, but it'd be 100% logical. It's not like you just forget that the fish had gone bad and you're not supposed to eat it. Especially if you know about the time issue. No, I think you'd make it your number one objective to warn your past self to not eat the fish.

[@6-dpegasus425]

Another self-consistent example would be you did NOT eat the fish and thus did not get sick, but you would then tell your wife exactly how the call went and you would lie in bed in the background pretending to be sick while your wife, from your guidance, tells your past self not to eat the fish and shows you in bed. Two solutions. As long as what was witnessed by your past self remains the same or close enough as to not drastically affect your actions, it remains stable

[@closeupchannel4365]

'Future Man' is a good comedy/time travel series.

[@3DPDK]

The Grandfather Paradox applies no matter if you view it from the perspective of the grandson or the grandfather. The idea that alternate time lines (alternate universes) exist side-by-side is an idea born mostly out of science fiction looking for a way to create a story about altering the past and skirting the paradox issue. The whole discussion is based on a restricted perception of the linear passage of time. Our three dimensionality restricts us to this perception. The more dimensions you add to perception the less time flows in a linear fashion and at some point of increased dimensionality, time is perceived to happen all at once - the "future" happens at the same moment the "past" happens. You can't change the future if it already happened. This isn't "unalterable fate", our decisions and actions do indeed effect the "future" but the point is, outside of our perception of linear time, we already made those decisions and actions the moment "time" began.

[@gone3281]

basically time is like a tree, every option opens a new branch and past is like root, parallel pasts as well. u can't change neither past or future just create a new one. essentially paradox dont exist, u cant change neither past or future, all you do is create a new one that is not conected to your timeline, and if you get to travel, is a 1 way ticket, you wont return to your original one, by traveling all you do is create a new present, so yes, you can kill your grandpa, it wont affect you or create any paradox, it will just create a new timeline that is not conected to your timeline in the past, but in this new one both are merged in the future as a new branch.

[@shibainu2528]

I have a theory on how backwards time travel could create no paradoxes, you essentially need to get your past self to do the same things you did, whilst having a different reason to do said things. - The easiest but risky way to do it is to pass your past self a note telling them what to do to save themselves or other people, then they go back in time to take your place, recreate the note, and pass that note to their past selves. - The more complicated way is to recreate what caused you to go back into the past in the first place, but to hide the favorable part of that incident from your past self, making them still go back in time to do what you just did, for example you going back in time to save a murdered ghost that is haunting a house, then dressing up as that ghost and replicating what happened to you in order to get your past self to take your place and save the original spirit. - A third way is simple, brute force. Take this one mini-episode of Doctor Who where the Tardis was parked inside itself, but there is a few seconds of time difference so you can witness yourself walk into the Tardis then tell you to replicate what they saw their past selves do. Only one lever can get the Tardis outside again, all others will instantly kill you. So wait until your past self walks through the door to tell you which one is the right one, because in all other scenarios you wouldn't survive to tell your past self false info, effectively condensing all possibilities into one loop.

You may even want to encounter your past self just as they are about to go back in time to prove that they will get away with it. A better example would be if you got into a car crash and lost the ability to walk, you could go back in time and steal your past self's tires or something, causing them to never get in the accident, however now the incentive to go back in time is gone because your past self never got in an accident in the first place. The difference with the bank is... what's making your past self lose their incentive, you handing over the money to your past self? Because, again, there are two versions of yourself, the rich robber and the poor soon-to-be-traveller.

[@thudthud5423]

Regarding classical time travel: 1. You have to look at time travel as not just "time" travel but "time and space" travel. We are constantly moving through both - forward through time and moving with the Earth as it rotates on its axis, as the Earth orbits the Sun, as the Sun orbits the galaxy's center, etc. If you wanted to make a trip four weeks into the future to the very spot you're in right now, you'd have to calculate where that spot would physically exist four weeks from now. If I'm correct, if you're sitting in a chair bolted to the floor, your chair is going to move millions of miles in the next four weeks. Time travel would be very difficult as you would somehow have to tie your "time/space" travel to some set physical reference point. Either that or it would have to be done out in space somewhere. 2. In order to travel through time (either jumping forward or back in time), you'd have to "remove" or "clone" matter and energy from the universe. Think of the Conservation of Matter and Energy - matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. That means, the sum of all matter and energy in the universe is a constant. You'd have to break that law to physically travel through time. a. If you were to jump forward in time, let's say going from Sunday directly to Tuesday, you'd have to take your matter and energy out of the universe for all of Monday. So, for about 24 hours, the universe would be "lighter" for that period of time. Somehow, you'd have do completely "destroy" or "remove" matter and energy from the universe. b. If you were to travel back in time, you'd literally have to clone the matter and energy you are made of. Think of it this way - ten days ago, a fish was swimming in the ocean. In the next ten days, it was caught, sold in a market, bought and eaten by you. Part of that fish was digested and metabolized by your body. (You are what you eat). Let's say 5 ounces of that fish's matter now became part of you. So, then you enter into a time machine and travel back two weeks and you carry that matter from the fish in your body with you. Somewhere in the ocean, that fish and that exact same 5 ounces of matter are swimming around. In this scenario, not only did the fish's 5 ounces of matter get duplicated, but so did the rest of your mass. So, the universe actually "grew in size" and that growth was due to the addition of duplicate matter and energy. So, somehow you'd have to "clone" or "create" duplicate energy and add it to the universe.

[@blx9670]

3:07 So what would happen if you told your wife today to tell you on the phone tomorrow that you shouldn't eat the fish? Then, even without eating the fish and without getting sick, you'd still get the warning. (assuming alternate timelines don't exist in this scenario)

[@Nestor_Suarez]

Exactly, that's the first thing that I thought while watching this for the first time. That would be time consistent.

[@LothairApoclyane]

Any communication with the past assumes that the timeline will be separate and unified at the same time. Changes to the causal event continuum will be made whether you like it or not. The theory saying that 'consistency' is required is a fundamental oversimplification. All mental expression is an attempt at reaching into a separate hypothetical timeline. That's why it's useful in the first place. - Even without depending on mathematical prediction powers.

[@LothairApoclyane]

Well, maybe consistency of some sort is absolutely required - But if a change to the past is made, then an exchange instantly occurs where a previously actual timeline becomes virtual and is replaced by the new timeline. This means memory itself would be cancelled, and reorganized at the moment when the change to the past is successfully made. That means the person making the 'call to change the past' would suddenly switch out with another version of their self that is flowing from the changed timeline - and the version of the person currently making the call would vanish or become virtual, in some way as information or mind or possibility is virtual, relative to the consistent unified current timeline of actual events.

[@MrSpeedyAce]

I always liked the idea from TENET that what’s happened has happened. I imagine it like a mathematical limiter where a graph will ultimately lead towards a limit, regardless of future intervention. So knowing the future is already calculated into the ULTIMATE end result somehow. All the kinks are ironed out or included in the formula already.

I like the idea that all time exists simultaneously. The smallest unit of time (theoretically anyway) is the Planck time. So imagine a deck of cards starting at the Big Bang and extending either infinitely, or until some unknown time at which point things end. Each card covers one Planck time. You could travel to any one of those "cards" and now you're in that frame of reference. Any changes you make there will have no impact on the frames before or after, as everything ticks forward simultaneously. Going "back and killing your grandfather" only affects that particular frame of reference, and the effects would never propagate to another frame. Could be another reason why we don't ever see time travelers. The odds of one landing in our exact frame of reference would be astronomically small, way smaller than the number of humans who have ever existed or will ever exist.

[@LothairApoclyane]

The awkward thing about this is, that 'immediately in the moment when making the change to the past is successful' - the person making the call would suddenly shift into a state in which the call didn't happen because it became no longer necessary. That means 'the scenario where the fish was eaten and the call was made' would become a closed loop of parallel dimension to the consequential timeline. That closed loop would become part of the actual "past" but also only virtual, relative to the current unified spacetime, and the memory of making that change would then become impossible - precisely because of its nature of becoming relegated to a tangential closed virtual loop. The section of time that was changed would then resembled a closed time-like curve, or a closed loop of spacetime - like a thought itself that does not become actualized. -- If the change is successful, the self-healing would instantly make virtual the (scenario) event in which the act to change the past did occur. If the change is not successful, then the 'self-healing' involving virtualization of a closed loop of spacetime would not need to occur and you would simply have an extra annoyed Action Lab host with an added layer of regret. And he would remember the call and his wife would slap him for not listening.

The paradox is endless much like the endless scenarios that could exist in the future that you would never know about to recreate in the present to avoid the paradox. As for multi timelines, it's only an explanation (another theory) to support the theory that we may be able to future bend. Is there another reality separate from ours? When many believe in a spirit world that has no time associated with it and therefore can transend from one time-space to another. Does that exist? We won't know until we enter that sprirt world and once you do, know one has ever really comeback to tell us what happened. The only thing being bent, is our mind.

Consider this: if you were told not to eat the fish, and don't eat it, the next iteration of you that calls to ask about the next day wouldn't get the warning about the fish and because of that gets sick with the fish. And then the cycle repeats itself: calls to future self, does not eat fish, calls to future self, eats fish, calls to future self, does not eat fish, etc. The lesson here is: if you tell your past self not to do something, tell them that if they get contacted by their past self in their future, to pass on what happened in the original time line This way, the call to the futue will prevent the fish from being eaten for all further iterations.

If you allow multiple timelines for the future, then the grandparent paradox in the past is also not a problem, you just gain access to a new timeline that you didn't visit before. One is born (normally) in the timeline that didn't have out grandparent killed by a visitor from the future. The main problem with all this is that is pseudoscience, as the multiple parallel universes filling all possible outcomes is not a falsifiable hypothesis and doesn't add any explanatory power to another hypothesis that doesn't include a multiverse. It's not a good explanation at least in the way David Deutsch defines them, in the way Good explanations are explanations that are hard to vary in the sense that changing the details would ruin the explanation.

This VR headset that allows a user to peek into the future and return to their own timeline is a novel sci-fi trope, but asking whether it is theoretically possible, not within our current understanding of the universe. As the current universal laws present themselves, and as we understand them, we have NO EVIDENCE to prove that the universe acts like a "DVR" that records every single event and possibility that ever occurs and like "stores it somewhere" in the omniverse/omnidimension space. This would be a base requirement for any kind of 2-way time travel. Now, ONE-WAY time travel from the present to the future is absolutely possible, through like cryogenics (i.e. "Demolition Man"), or time dilation through relative speed (i.e. the theory of relativity, a spacecraft moving near speed of light would see a reduced aging process for any passengers compared to people on earth)

I think grandfather paradox can be resolved with a different logic If you go back in time, everything you experience has happened from your point of view, and everything in your present is caused by something from the past you went to So everything you seem to do in order to change the past, fails So probably you wouldn't be able to kill your grandfather, because then you wouldn't be born at all And since you have, then your grandfather didn't die At least before making your dad/mom

"Who does she think she is, telling me what and what not to eat!". LOL.

[@sludgiebear]

When you have a closed timeline curve, like in your example, surely that's a "chicken and egg" scenario. From the future she told you not to eat the fish, which caused you to eat the fish, but she wouldn't have warned you if you hadn't eaten the fish in the first place. That's another paradox, unless I'm missing something.

[@ER1SCO]

But he does eat the fish, because his wife always warns him not to, so I do not see the paradox.

[@jazzabighits4473]

@@ER1SCO Even in the case where she warned him and he didn't eat the fish, I'd say it's not a paradox. It's just the call from her perspective the next day (i.e. when he calls her from the past), she won't be saying anything about fish because he's healthy and fine.

[@ER1SCO]

@@jazzabighits4473 then at the same time she is both warning him and not warning him, and that doesn't make sense.

[@jazzabighits4473]

@@ER1SCO Yeah, from his perspective in the past she warns him, from his perspective in the future he hasn't been warned. From her perspective (in the past call) she warned him, from her perspective in the future she didn't warn him.

[@sludgiebear]

​@@ER1SCO The paradox I'm trying to describe is: which came first to kick off the loop: her warning, or him eating the fish in order to encourage her warning? It's a circular reference without any clear and absolute beginning. What caused her to warn him from the future? It must be him eating the fish. However, her warning then causes him to eat the fish. Keeping inline with the example, the second time he eats the fish is out of spite, but the first time (without warning) may have been out of hunger. The only change is motive. Yet, he still must have eaten the fish to begin with. Then again, I must remind myself, and others, that apparently there can be an effect before the cause. We could potentially hold that to be the case here.

My relatively profane two cents would be the multiple-world interpretation of quantum mechanics is true.

[@luciengrondin5802]

4:24 " if you think about it, one of the main goals of science is to try to predict the future. For example if I want to know where a ball is going to land when I shoot it out of a cannon, I don't have to test it and see, I can predict where it will land using Newton's equations. If I want to know how strong of a pressure vessel I need to go to the bottom of the ocean, I can just use an equation to predict that as well. But just so you don't get overly confident in science, this prediction method gets harder and harder to do the further in the future we want to predict, and also it depends on how reliable our current data and model is because any errors that we have in our data or equations propagate with time so that we may not actually be predicting the real future." The most interesting point was missed here, IMHO. If this prediction method eventually fails, it's not really because of lack of data or imprecision of the model, it's because predictions, just as time travel to the past or so-called "future bending", inevitably causes logical paradoxes whenever it informs an agent with free-will of his own future. The only way around it is the self-consistency principle, which basically implies that free will does not exists. And I'm not even sure the self-consistency principles saves it all. In any case, what is often missed regarding this subject, IMHO, is that it doesn't need to involve complex physics or math. These paradoxes occurs just with the very idea of predicting the future. As such, it is a subject that could be tackled by the Ancients, and it was, with what they used to call oracles and the paradoxes associated with the concept of destiny. The myth of Oedipus is the most famous exemple. I, for one, think this subject is connected to Alan Turing's work, as it seems to me that it follows the same logic. It also brings up the question of the ontological existence of the future, and by extension to the very existence of reality itself, or of its relation to consciousness. Surprisingly enough, these questions have been asked more and more seriously by modern physicists lately. Just search "consciousness", "past", "future" and "reality" on the "PBS space time" KZbin channel, and you'll see there is indeed a rabbit hole there.

The second situation is actually valid…I kinda very observant person and often warning people about future even…furthest is 13 years and what I predict back then become reality….but more realistic way to say this is I observe people that kinda close and predict what their behaviour will cost them if they never change it as I said…to whom who follow the instruction…their life turning great 🤷🏻 P/S : through deja vu kinda dream….I experience the very exact future on the next day..I even tell my friend to stay and watch it becoming true 😂…very weird experience

[@jazzabighits4473]

I would argue that even without the many worlds interpretation, there isn't a paradox here. If she told you not to eat the fish and then you didn't and weren't sick, the next day when you called her she just wouldn't have said anything about fish, that reality didn't happen.

@@Matticus289 Can't really blame you. I wouldn't be surprised if the plot is garbage since most writers are incompetent. Woke writers graduate, are hired based on wokeness instead of merit, are trained to write shows through a woke lens, and since they are wholly unqualified for the job, their writing is terrible. If they really cared about pushing wokeness, the plots would be near perfect, everyone would want to see the show, and their plan would succeed. It is precisely because they buy into their own narrative pushed on us that they are inadvertently contributing to their own failure.

[@moodberry]

You will always choose the thing you have a choice about AND what you know to be the most advantageous to yourself. If you must choose between A or B, your choice will come down to what you know of A or B. He ate the fish not because he knew it was bad, but because he didn't like to be told what to do, and that was more advantageous to him than not eating the fish as he knew it at that moment. We make free choices, but only about the things we know about. When we don't know the facts, we don't really choose. We simply accept random events as they happen to us.

I actually wrote an unpublished novel about scientists in the future who learn how to create a "virtual timeline" from a point in our past and pull over an individual into the future. There's no paradox because the created timeline is a virtual reproduction, yet there is a sense of time travel in the story nonetheless. Its a lot more involved than that, but anywho...

[@michaellv426]

The solution to the fish paradox is that, let's say, it was the phone's automated procedure that made that call. It made that call regardless of whether you ate the fish the day before or not, because as soon as the fridge's sensors detected that the fish expired, and was likely not good 24 hours ago, the phone made that call to prevent health problems in all possible alternate realities, especially in the current one. The best thing about this procedure is that it would necessarily made this call in any case, even if in reality you threw away that fish upon hearing that call, making that call seemingly unnecessary, - even in this case the phone would already know that the fish was bad, because the phone received that call from the future, so all it has to do is schedule exactly this call for the next day. There is of course, the remaining problem of phone scammers pretending to be calling from the future.

Everything depends on how you present the information from the future. You could just say "The fish in the fridge is rotten!" , then you have not altered the past or the future, it would be true in the future and the past. The choice to eat it is still up to you.

[@Sashazur]

You’re still moving information from the future to the past, so if someone acts on that information you are making a change and potentially creating a paradox. But I guess it is correct that if nobody acts on the information or is affected by it, then there’s no paradox.
