| Topic | If you went back in time to it, how would you stop the Columbine shooting? |
| Sphyx 08/13/19 6:05:42 AM #49: | IMO, we take the concept of changing events in the past way too seriously, even ignoring the implausibility of time travel. It's a bit bizarre to be worried that you might change things while trying to change things. It's also weird to freak out about future events being largely unpredictable when that was the default position before you began time travelling. I'd imagine altering events in the past, if possible, as being like creating a chronological restore point and then having to play out the new timeline before you could see where it went. An oddity of that concept is that it would make time travel forward even less plausible than time travel backward. Back on topic, how would i try to stop it? I guess i'd try to warn any authority that might listen about the people involved and their propensity for gun violence, and hope they actually bothered to play it safe and keep an eye on them. In other words, it probably wouldn't work. --- You're so vain, You probably think this sig is about you. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
