But reassuringly (!) one leading scientist at CERN recently stated that this was only around a 1% probability - so that's alright then !<BR/>Einsteinian wormholes caused by the warping of space-time by such a massive object that even light can not escape its pull would unfortunately mean that anything passing through such a void would either obtain infinite mass or zero mass (depending on your cosmological viewpoint); either of which would not be great for a human as every atom within them was pulled and ripped apart leaving a swirling mass of disconnected matter and energy (a bit like how HurlyBurly feels after a night on the booze).<BR/>*hic!*<BR/>Tony jumped in with the Grandfather Paradox before I had chance to, but then this is his house so I can't say too much.<BR/>I intended to spend some time today posting my own "Mother Paradox" to the Cheating The Ferryman thesis, but this will have to wait a day or two now, but I'm sure this will also contribute to the debate.<BR/>Re-Read my "What On Earth Is Wrong With Gravity?" post and comments, and I hope to post something by the end of the week on my therory of "Quantum Gravity" (which I gently introduced Tony to in the pub on Saturday leaving him grasping for his pint!)<BR/>*too much writing to do!!!!!*Karl Le Marcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402028443489182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-63785787725096592762008-02-11T08:05:00.000+00:002008-02-11T08:05:00.000+00:00Hi HB,Could be very interesting this one. I suspec...Hi HB,<BR/>Could be very interesting this one. I suspect that as soon as the general press get hold of this story we will have some interesting articles on the famous 'Grandfather Paradox' when it comes to the implications of Time Travel. This is a theme of the movie as well; it simply states that what would happen if you went back in time and accidently killed your own grandfather (or in Marty McFly's case make sure that you stop your mother having a crush on you and get her interested in your father). Ths action would bring about your own non-existence and therefore you would never be able to travel back in time and kill your grandfather, in which case your grandfather lives and you are then born and able to go back in time .... etc etc.<BR/><BR/>Of course Everett's Many Worlds Interpretation nullifies this problem because all that will happen is that you will kill your Grandfather and bring about a bifurcation or splitting of the universe at that time with the new universe lacking a you but your own still intact.<BR/><BR/>I am hoping that later this year there will be a stage production of a play that I am writing (sounds like Ernie Wise) called 'The Graiai'. I wrote this as a short story about twenty years ago. In my humble opinion this is the thinking persons 'Back To The Future'. I plan to write it in such a way that the audience will not understand what is going on until literally the last line. I have explained the plot to a few people and they are in agreement. Clearly I will keep you all up to date with developments on this front.Anthony Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199138770925114308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-37469898823665728792008-02-11T01:22:00.000+00:002008-02-11T01:22:00.000+00:00A fascinating idea, to be sure, but then along c...A fascinating idea, to be sure, but then along comes that Dr. Brian Cox with his expertise and scepticism to spoil it all. I must confess that I naturally view Anthony's theory through the lens of classical philosophy and literature and religious ideation -- not so much through science or science fiction. But that is just my personal bias. Hurly, do you think this idea of time travel is central to Anthony's theory, and do you find the evidence solid and convincing? I'd like to hear your own take on it.SM Kovalinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137642942538595560noreply@blogger.com
