The age old paradox. If the future is sabotaging the past how do we ever get to the future to go back in time and sabotage the past.

All you need is a Delorian.

Nice picture Dave although for the sake of authenticity there really should be a "Mr Fusion" attachment on the hood.
You know reading that article I have this vision of this super brilliant scientist who hasn't combed his hair in like a month and wears his clothes like he sleeps in them running around all zig zag like when he's outside to avoid being hit by "Hibbs" particles.
They spent $20 Billion to construct an underground 27 km long super cooled circular particle accelerator.
For purely scientific purposes.
And it has never worked because of pranksters from the future.

I like the line "While it is a paradox to go back in time and kill your grandfather, physicists agree there is no paradox if you go back in time and save him from being hit by a bus" !

Doug,How I wish there was a way to go back in time. To be able to carry our minds into childhood:) Start all over again yet,know how our futures would unfold. Make changes where you know they were needed.

Joanna said...

Oh and a Delorian would make it even finer:)

Marty McFly: "Wait a minute, Doc. Ah.. Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a
DeLorean?"
Dr. Emmett Brown: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

Joanna said...

Delorean! Yes some style indeed.

There is still a possible paradox. What if after you've saved your grandfather from the speeding bus he falls asleep in the house with the stove on causing a fire that kills the entire family..

hmm.

Doug said...

Good one.

Yeah.Truth sometimes is better. My Mom met the very General who ordered Tokyo to be firebombed. Years later he met my Mom thru my Dad and he apoligized for almost killing her and her family.Yet none of us Sparks would be here today had they not met in Tokyo.
