What if the time machine has a glitch and you end up just constantly being taken back in time just a split second like when a CD get's stuck and starts making that annoying sound... does that mean you can live forever?... the same split second for all eternity.

The "time travel" in interstellar is (effectively) the same principle... The characters don't travel through time more quickly than anyone else, everyone else just keeps aging and time moves on around them while they are "frozen" (moving very, very slowly in relativity to those outside the time distortion)

There really is no 'right' time in the universe is there?Everything in the universe travels at its own time frame depending on the speed it's traveling.If an object is in close proximity to another object(like us to the sun and the sun to the galaxy) etc then it travels faster due to its orbit and the faster an object travels then the slower time around it goes.Is that right?That's my basic understanding.
Also add on top of that the fact that everything is traveling through space.The galaxy's etc which also has an effect on time. Time really is relative. Last edited by Northern Monkey; 11-10-2015 at 10:03 AM. |

the only way to travel back in time would be to travel faster than the expansion of the universe itself, because the only real measure of time is how quickly;y the universe is expanding, but you can never travel so quickly towards the center of the universe that you could see the beginning of the universe, because it's already happened. The beginning of the universe has already happened, and really we are just watching the consequences of that at varying speeds.

also there is the idea of re-incarnation...if re-incarnation is real then you would still exist no matter who your grandfather was, because your soul would still be put into a body, it's not about genetics if you believe in re-incarnation.

If the concept of time shifts and slips in space and time/dimensions are so acceptable then why not the idea of shuffling off the mortal coil... to another when we die?

Personally I believe in the multiverse theory because you'd could be creating a time paradox by killing your grandfather, if he died before your parent was conceived, then you would cease to exist, therefore you're unable to kill your grandfather, thus bringing him back to life

You can't guess anything exists unless there is proof to be honest. You can hope all you want but factually it doesn't exist.

![]() Plus irrelevant to the grandfather paradox because in the Butterfly Effect rules you timetravel within your own consciousness and so (in that example) the furthest back you could go is being a fetus. I guess you could maybe hang yourself on the umbilical cord as a sort of self-abortion... |

[If you went back in time and killed your grandfather, what would happen?]
We are unable to travel back in time but with high powered faster travel we will jump ahead in time |

I suppose if you go back to kill your grandfather before you were born, then by definition of the scenario where you are in the past, you are already living in a world where it is possible to exist without having been born. And so killing him shouldn't make any difference to you in terms of the 'if he's dead you would never be born' problem. If you catch my drift?
Alternatively if you want to kill your grandfather AND travel through time without igniting the grandfather paradox, you could just travel to last week and kill him (assuming he was alive last week).
