aparsons Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I recently re-watched the 1st Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score, which has a heavy time-travel theme. The time machine featured, is not a man made creation, but a universal code that can travel through time. Built into this code is a method of correcting paradoxes. This is usually done when a characters travels back in time to meet themselves, at the point, the individual who went back in time is often killed in a bizarre accident that "corrects" the paradox of two of the same individuals at the same time. Do you believe that paradox correction is possible? If so, is it a good idea, or unnecessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kana_marie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Absolutely! It's definitely a necessity. And if time travel does exist I hope it's a certainty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinterest Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 to aparsons, I do not necessarily agree.If this is the case every time there is a catastrophe and someone from another time goes to fix this, then nothing goes wrong.If nothing is ever allowed to go wrong, then this could in theory alter the function of the universe.

ockham Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 That's an interesting thought. Suppose the universe has built-in paradox prevention/correction laws. That would explain why we're still here even though people from the past and future have possibly done time travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinterest Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Suppose the universe has built-in paradox prevention/correction laws. Yes it does.If you do too much fixing, items can pop in from other time lines as an equalization point.This is like having a car known as a Centurion 386 appear in a parking lot next to a pizza joint, to where nobody's ever heard of the vehicle, let alone knows how to operate it or gain access.This has been reported as actually having happened in similar circumstances.
