time for the ST Time Travel Loop Paradox to Make Your Head 'Splode question of the day ,... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 13:24 24
- they both exist forever until person A wants to jump time again -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 13:37
- If Person B doesn't jump back, then Person A never jumps back, and nothing happened. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:36 4
  - no. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 13:45 1
    - You can't really say "no" to a phenomenon that doesn't exist outside of fiction. :) - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:53
  - Also, I wondered about this for the show Seven Days. Whenever he did a backstep, did they summarily execute his original self? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:38 1
    - (I bet Ramsey would have *loved* that job) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:39
- I think in both the Primer and Back to the Future series... - Dr.Vermin Jul 25, 13:33
- That's how they do it on Fringe. - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:32 12
  - That's multiple dimensions though, not time travel. -- nm - Ender Jul 25, 13:33 11
    - Also, the alternate dimension thing is the same as in time travel. A different time space is the same as an alternate dimension. They exist ad - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:36 2
      - and the observers do travel through time -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:37 1
        
        Yeah, but Observers are a special case, I think. For some reason they're outside of the natural laws. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:37
    - Walter time-travelled, too. As did William Bell. I think. Didn't they? -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:34 7
      - Robocop time travelled, but I am not sure if he brought anyone with him -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:35 6
        
        The Terminator did too, but he didn't bring anyone with, did he? -- nm - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:37 5
        
        I meant Peter Weller's character ... Terminator brought SkyNet with him :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:37 4
        
        I feel a classic sci-fi movie weekend coming on. - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:38 3
        
        The whole Terminator universe is one giant causality paradox -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:39 2
        
        That was done on purpose. Cause and effect. What we do now affects what happens in the future in ways we can't begin to fathom. - miffed67 Jul 25, 13:42 1
        
        SkyNet doesn't exist if the Terminator doesn't come back and leave a piece of himself behind. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 13:50
- Person B doesn't disapper, they travel back in time and become Person A. -- nm - Ender Jul 25, 13:32 1
  - but what if person A steals the time machine and travels back himself, what happens to person B? -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 13:34
- if something changes and person b never makes the jump, then they both exist -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 13:25 1
  - so concurrant existance of the same person ... hhhmmm ... so much to that which I now wonder about ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 13:29
Say I go to a MLB game, would I have to buy a ticket for Fin Fin or would it be like a plane ticket thing where he sits on my lap? -- nm - CQ Jul 25, 13:24 4
- Most parks let them in for free if they sit on your lap. If they want to sit in a seat you need to buy a ticket. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 13:28
- check the park - the two here say children under 2 are ok without one, as long as they sit on a lap. -- nm - b. Jul 25, 13:26
- Depends on the Stadium. In Philly children under 2 enter for free -- nm - decline Jul 25, 13:26

    - I take it that this is for all of the things you've written and published combined, or is this for just 1 book? - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 25, 13:25 2
      - It's all digital royalties for LS, its sequel, and Freakshow. No one is buying Bite. - Qale Jul 25, 13:30 1
