to turn back time

[tsukikage]

I would sell my soul to the devil. I simply refuse to believe that the power to turn back time does not exist. The people on those shows didn't believe in magic, either, but they learned the truth.
Yes, I know the difference between fiction and reality, don't worry. But I don't know if anyone has any idea how deeply it pains me sometimes to know that NO MATTER WHAT, it is NOT POSSIBLE to do things over again. It makes me want to tear my body to shreds!

I understand what you mean. It's kind of funny, my mother is a nurse at a nursing home, and one of her old ladies out of nowhere went "It's possible to do things backwards."

So my mom was like "...Yes... yes it is..."

And she was like "You can reverse a car, a bike, walking... you can reverse time, too."

So my mother was like "How?"

And she was like "We just haven't figured it out yet..."

It was kind of weird, but it really does make sense. I really really and truely believe that there is a way to reverse time, it just hasn't been figured out yet. But I do really believe in it.

Out of curiosity, what is your belief in parallel universes and such? And different universes that are in different times. This one 2005, another 1945? You never know!

I don't know... Any thoughts that I have about the possibility of the reversal of time include some kind of "fixation" of chains of events. For example, if our present self goes into the past to fix a mistake, we go back in time BECAUSE our past self made a mistake. So if our present self prevents our past self from making that mistake, then we would have had no reason to go into the past in the first place, so the whole situation couldn't have happened. It's not predetermination, per se, but just the idea that even though, at the beginning of the race, you don't know who will win, at the end there WILL be a winner. It's rather Schroedinger's cat-ish.
Parallel universes... I will say that I don't believe in Star Trek-like parallel universes, where they are all variations on ours, but I do believe that it is possible to have beings living in different dimensions from ours. (If we inhabit dimensions A, D and E, and travel through dimension Q temporally, they may inhabit dimensions G, L and M, and travel through dimension D temporally.) But we would have completely unrelated histories.

I love the whole Schroedinger's cat thing! I was trying to explain it to my friend today, applying the basic principle that "Nothing is real unless it is observed." Which leads to another theory my friend has.

If I blind folded, per se, you! And then you were sitting at a desk, the seat would be real, because you would be sitting on it, so you know that much, that the seat is real. So then you touch the upper left hand corner. You know that that is there, because it can be observed. But you didn't touch the upper right hand corner, or the other two corner's on the bottom, while blindfolded. So was that corner just there because you touched it. And it was the only one observed...

It's kind of a whole convoluted thing, but I do love thinking of these sorts of things. They keep the imagination going, and are really quite consuming. I once read that Schroedinger was sorry that he actually started this, because it became so crazy.

I agree with the dimensions thing. That's how I see it. I don't see why it couldn't at east be possible, at the most.
