Time Travel

[Pottsy]

I was born in 2032 and this is just to let you all know that time travel is possible.

[Wop/tpo]

nice of you to call back.

Do you realise that by telling us that fact, you have now changed the future and you no longer exist? (the butterfly effect)

[wildwood]

Any change of a few tips for the Track on saturday?

[Mortartube]

I have been travelling through time since I was born.

Ask the funny little bloke with the strange voice, the one in the comedy moving chair. He's got it sort of right. Top Tip - spend money on BEC. It's sort of right.

The butterfly effect? did you have that gag back then?

Just as a matter of interest "the butterfly effect" does not properly refer to time travel. Or at least not soley.

It refers to the sesnitivity to initial conditions found in non-linear dynamics (Chaos theory to you and I)

The original example was that a butterfly's wingbeat in New York could cause a storm in London.

The idea got somewhat muddled with Ray Bradbury's short story "the sound of thunder" where a butterfly was killed in the past affecting the future (Lampooned nicely by the Simpsons).

This then got picked up by the time-travelling film "the butterfly effect"

Anyway Pottsy nice to hear from you - why did you choose to visit our particular epoch?

I am a time cop and can tell you that we finally caught Pottsy in 26BC: Now serving a sentence for paradoxical crimes.

[Androcles]

OK, but which of the 11 dimensions were you in?
