Already tortured people by giving this presentation back in my 8th semester...here goes:
I have two solid conclusions:
1) Its possible to view past.
2) Not possible to travel back in past or is a very bad idea!
1st assumption is an easy one to crack...you see this phenomenon every day (every night actually). Just look up at the sky...see the stars. What u actually see is the past. That star might have died by now...since it is 100's of light years away...what you're actually seeing is 100 light years backward.
As for the 2nd assumption...lets start with the hypothesis that it is possible to travel to past. Now imagine that you do something to trigger the death of your past self...It means that you never took the path that led you to travel back to the past, a direct contradiction.
so let us now suppose that its not possible to kill your past self. It might mean that your consciousness might merge with the past self and u forget everything about the future u came from...meaning that in future u again do the same time travel thingy., come back to past. Dude, you're now stuck in an indefinite loop.
Third option, according to string theory, every universe represents a possibility. suppose u travel in past and do something different it means that you have shifted the future timeline to a new parallel universe...meaning that u effectively destroyed the current universe and connected the future events to another one...destruction of a universe...certainly sounds like a bad idea!
Crazy comments are most welcome!!
