Branching timelines but I do like media where it's a singular loop.
Like I watched this one horror movie about a time travel machine and the people running the test were trapped in there with a killer. And it turned out It was really fascinating to see this recurring loop in action and you could almost feel the time compressing and expanding with the pacing of the show. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div ...

If someone has died, and a person goes back into the past, where someone is still alive, would they unknowingly be conscious, even though they're already dead? If that's the case, it's possible all of us, or some of us are already dead.

If that's the case, it's possible all of us, or some of us are already dead. Yes, because from their perspective, the future in which they've died hasn't come to pass yet. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson ...

I think quantum mechanics generally supports the branching timeline theory. The way I think of it, and I could be wrong, is that if individual electrons exist as both a wave and a particle simultaneously, then why not an entire universe?
A lot of people think of time as some big clock counting down since the big bang, which makes no sense because time is relative. But if you think about it, time doesn't really exist at all. Time is simply change and the way we perceive things moving through space-time. As human beings, our perception of time is 0 dimensional, meaning we can only experience time through individual moments as a single point on a line. But time is not a line either, which only represents future and past. It exists in many other dimensions, like a plane (2 dimensions), a cube (3 dimensions), a tesserract (4 dimensions), and so on. If we perceived time in 1 dimension, our entire lifespan would appear seamless to us, and we would be able to visit each moment as easily as looking at a different spot on the wall. Does that mean we could go back to a past moment and change something and affect our timeline? I think it does. We would still be able to observe our 1 dimensional timeline as something different, though we might not know what that is until we change it. If we perceived 2 dimensions of time, we could simultaneously see every possible outcome from birth till death. Everything that could happen or could have happened, we would see it. You could "choose" to do things differently except the concept of free will would be entirely irrelevant, since you have already made every choice you could possibly make. Or maybe I think way too much about this. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you travel back in time and everything plays out the same way without interference then that proves that free will is a myth.

For storytelling purposes the easiest way to do it is a single timeline with time travelers immunity
When you think about it, time traveling breaks thermodynamics, because matter (you) that didnt exist before (in that timeline) popped into existence. Just say that breaking thermodynamics desynchronizes you from the timeline and you essentially become a completely seperate person from who you were before you time travelled Boom. No grandfather paradoxes.

Going back in time is not possible. The only thing you can possibly do is observe the past. The stars towards the center of the galaxy are moving slower in time. Also the closer you get to a black hole, the slower time is moving. If we observed an identical Earth near such a star, it could possibly be billions of years behind. Essentially, there are places in the Universe that are not 14 billion years old. Both younger and older.

BlueBoy675 posted...LordMarshal posted...Once anyone can time travel. Were all doomed. There's a theory that we won't see time travelers until the very first working time machine is turned on, in which case they would start showing up instantly. This also says that they can only travel as far back as that point in time, since time machines did not exist before it. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson ...

My feeling is past time travel doesn't exist.
It doesn't make any sense to me to be able to reverse the universe, or that the universe for some reason has a record of what happened that you can go back to. However, if backwards time travel was possible, branching is certainly how it would work. (future time travel could just be something like stasis) --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Steins;Gate had the best implementation of time travel tbh. All possible branches (worldlines) already exist, but only one is active. The active worldline diverges based on the actions the observer takes via time travel or other time mechanisms.
I.e. if the time traveler were to travel back in time and kill Hitler as a baby, the present is "recreated" to match how the world would naturally have progressed. Only the observer is aware the worldline has diverged. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

You seem to be implying that there needs to be some sort of "time force/energy/dimension" in order to travel through time, but that doesn't need to be the case in order to go "back in time." I always see that line "time doesn't exist cause it's a manmade concept", but that's usually used in a diminishing way that doesn't make sense. Time doesn't exist in the same way that meters "don't exist", but you can do a hell of a lot with the concept of measurement. --- [break the meta] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ...

Distance is a thing that exists though. "Meters" is a man made concept, but the idea that some things are a distance away from other things is definitely an observable fact. Time "doesnt exist", in that only "now" exists, this moment.
