The other day, an entity from the future (I’m not sure if it was even me) reached its tendrils through coagulated spacetime and vomited onto a notebook.
There are a few scenarios:
The future hasn’t happened yet: X – – – – – – – – -> T2; Or, more appropriately, the future isn’t existent.
The future is determined: X –––––––> T2; Or, more appropriately, the future is strictly defined by the present. Given that, actualizations of time travel can only exist if the potentialities for time travel exist in the present.
The future exist independently of the present: X XT2; Or, more appropriately, the present cannot affect the future. Given that, time travel seems interesting insofar as it’s an anthropological study. This also implies that each moment in time exist as a bubble. In other words, each moment in time is a universe. Given that, there are an infinite number of universes that exist.
Does an omniverse exist?
What’s more interesting, does each universe continue on it’s own temporal trajectory, or is there one temporal trajectory and a static consciousness jump from one universe to another.
The future exists semi-independently of the present: X –––––––> –––––––> –––––––> T2; Or, more appropriately, the present can partially affect the future, but the future itself is independent of the present. The particulars of the future are determined. The same temporal bubble problem still arises, however.
[(Tx) (Tx.x) (Tx.xx) … Omniverse {Tx, Tx.x, Tx.xx,…}]
What is the quantization, though? This view necessarily involves discrete quanta. Can we actually carve up the world as such? If we can carve up time, time is then brought back to a dimensional level. Perhaps we cannot know the quanta.
Further thoughts:
X1 –––––––––––––––––––––>X2 | X1(X3)–––––––––––––––––––––>X2
When X3 comes into existence, the future already exists. The moment an entity from T2 enters anytime in the past, T2 is existentially determined. Given this, if we buy time travel, then time cannot be linear insofar as linearity implies that T2 cannot exist without T1. T2 must already exist in some form and thus time cannot be a line, but is instead circuitous.
To embrace this, we have to shed notions of the past, present, and future as all these terms are loaded and presuppose a linearity. Thus, if we want to question whether time is linear, we cannot use loaded terms.
