Theory on Time Travel

I'm not going to sit here and say that time travel exists, rather I an going to say why we shouldn't figure out how to time travel. All comments are welcome!

Let's pretend for a minute that someone invented time travel;
"Look! I've done it! I've finally figured out Time Travel!" Jonathan shouts, setting back the day to his grandmother died. He never got to say goodbye. When he gets there, everyone is surrounding her. He tells her he's from the future. Nothing happens, but she dies happy. Later, back in his own time, he thinks; "Hey! I can go back and time and stop World War Two from ever happening!" So he gets his nice shot-gun and sets the time back to 1932, and shoots Hitler before he has a chance to do anything.

Okay, what will now happen to him, he didn't just change something little, he changed something drastic. Yes, he stopped alot of people suffering, but we had quite a number of social advancements at that time. If that wouldn't have happened, we might not have been as aware of the damages of prejustice. That was also a time when people of different races were forced out of there country and went in to others, and people of many different races might not even exist. It's the same for other events, big and small, we don't fully know the consiquinses of our actions, expesually in Time Travel, we might end up entering an entirely different reality, just for changing the slightest thing.

i don't know if it's true, but this is what I think : when you change something from the past, if you have the god's acceptance, you remember both variants and the world will take it the changed form. If you don't have god's acceptance you will enter in a paralel univers and there you will do the change. from that universe it is almost impossible to return to your original universe(there are infinite universes). if i am wrong i tell you from now that i am sorry.

Magickaly speaking, there are spirits who watch over time and prevent major wvents from being changed. I don't know much about the rules of time but I know there are a lot of them and they are strictly mantained.

To 'change' something from the past is to 'change' the future you return to. There is 'no way' around that. There would be a 'parallel' universe to which the person doing the change would go to as the future that 'we' belong to is 'not' the future the person in 'reality' belongs to. We would still be here and have 'our' lives BUT the person doing the change would go to a 'different' one........

If you even went back in time, it would cause a paradox, and the two variants of the universe would end up colliding and destroying each other.

Ok this might drive you crazy. What if I went back in time and stopped my father and mother from getting together to make sure I wasn't born. But if I wasn't born then how could my mother and father ever be stopped by me? Would the future play out or would nothing happen??? Or even better what if my potential parents met someone else and I came out slightly different then before? Man this kinda stuff could drive a person crazy!!! I think if time travel is possible then it is non-linear.

Thats the paradox. Those universe variants would then collide.

No matter what you do say you do kill Hitler some one else would take his place so the names and a few minor things might change but not a whole lot and only you would know aout it so.......... It would really matter.

IF anyone who 'stopped' their parents from meeting then that person would 'cease' to exist. You'd be gone period...

I know that I've read about a ritual to change your karma(even your past karma) without affecting you like to dissappearing.
