Here comes Terry. OMG he's bringing a dinosaur with him. Quick! Get the camera!!

RUN TERRY, RUN FASTER!!

Oh boy! You gotta be kiddin me. When did all this happened? What about Terry's age? He must be an old geezer by now

Again, Jenniebean, why am I getting the feeling that none of this is even remotely a joke?

Are you from the ATS commission?

The_Pete_Man

I only ask because your profile states that you are from "someplace" and you look like some of those crazy cowboys from ATS.

The question "when" is kind of redundant when your'e talking time vortex. It can't be answered.

The correct question would be "where." (Where in time.)

OK, so, what does "ATS" stand for?



(BTW, I've been happily distracted lately...........)

I'm not really sure what ATS stands for except it is a company name.

ATS invents, designs, manufactures, and sells the world's most innovative transport systems and has thousands of products.

The commission was created to regulate the illegal unsanctioned use of energy vortex systems of which it holds a patent.

They expanded from diesel and racing products in 2020 and changed their name to ATS energy systems inc.

I'm definitely not from "ATS", then..........I'm just interested in time travel and getting my past changed, or changing it myself.

That's awesome!

Its also very possible to do. (But you didn't hear it from me.)

Going back in time to change your own past is a different kind of travel than what these vortex systems do.

It can also really mess up your memory.

Huh. So, that's what happened to me.

and I thought it was just your age

It happened to me. I actually have two pasts that I know of (maybe more) but I can only remember one of them, and I'm not too good at remembering that one. LOL

Look who's talkin!

No no no no! How did ya managed to go back in time? You cant do that. Time flows like a river in one direction. You changed its direction? If so then i shouldnt be here right now. I'd like to know the secret behind your time travel.

well I nO that

Time itself doesn't really "flow like a river." It is not time that flows in one direction but the way in which actual events unfold one after another. It is causality, in which an action or event will produce a certain response to the action in the form of another event.

You can't turn back time so that a glass you just broke goes back together like rewinding a video. To save the glass you would have to go to the place within the event before the glass was broken and then do something different to prevent it from being broken.

Damn! Its complicated.

Lets say im heading to the kitchen to have a glass of orange juice. I picked up the glass. It slipped from my fingers n crashed on the floor n scattered into tiny pieces. Now according to you, to save the glass from being broken we need to go into the place(or time?) within the event 'BEFORE THE GLASS WAS BROKEN'. The question arises here. When did the event started? When i got up from bed to have a glass of juice? How can i go back to the PLACE in the event itself after the event took place(glass is broken). One thing you made clear- time isnt like a video play. Nothing goes on rewind mode. But you cant go back to the dimension.

An event starts with the causation that is created from mind energy. In this case, the event is localized and it started at the exact point where you intended to get up and get a glass of orange juice.

It started with your intention.

It started in your mind, but not just when you were thinking that you wanted some orange juice. The event started when you intended to make it happen just prior to your action.

Therefore you have to go back to the place where you were just thinking that you wanted a glass of orange juice. Then, if you remember breaking the glass (from the future) you intend to be very careful this time and then you proceed from that point with more lucid conscious behavior so that you can prevent the accident.
