My turn... I'm about to go over a lot of heads...
If a man from today (2009) is talking to his former self from 1999 via cell phone, at what point -- in which time space continuum, will he remember having already done that? Will the younger man have a sense of deja vu one day while talking on his phone to his future self, only to grow up, answer his cell 10 years later, and hear his own voice conversing with him? Would the call go exactly the same? And if it doesn't, can you be certain that the future even exists?
If the future can be observed, only to inevitably change due to that observation, does that prove that time as we know it is an illusion or at best, a misunderstanding? If so, could all possible timelines (now, future, and past with every increments representing a different "strand" of time -- picture these strands like horizonatal guitar strings or a number line) run in "the present" and run parallell to each other?
If so, that would mean that we don't have a fixed position on one timeline and we don't travel along that timeline (which is what terms like past and future are relative to), but it's more or less like "froggering" across timelines. That's the only way a non-fixed future could make sense.
My theory supports a fluid future, because your future is relative to where you are on the Y-axis and not the X-axis (across time as oposed to along). My theory supports that there are various Y values for every X value, just like in real life there are various outcomes for any present decision or action. If you can, do allow yourself to picture the various and indefinite ammounts of timelines as different lines under the formula Y=aX where X is the present and whatever decision or action is presently happening (independent variable) and Y is the result of that action (future) and a is whatever you want to call the coefficient that determines whether your future goes one way or the other (Fate? Destiny? Luck? Sarandipidy?). For fuirther clarification, on this life grid, all facets of existing takes place along the X-axis. Thoughts, actions, etc are all events that have a place on the X axis. The result of those actions is a Y value.
Well my theory suggests that each individual has plotted points on the life grid (called their lifeline) that may take him up or down the life grid, encountering Y=aX lines. These points are not predetermined, so there is no 100% accurate way of predicting which way the lifeline will go. I'm sure you're aware that the course of one's life can be affected by many things. However, since the strands of time are linear, their futures are set and God knows it. Because it's al math based, you can predict a point on any Y=aX line with a little algebra know-how. That is how God is able to know the future even if it's constantly changing for us. All God has to know is which strand our lifeline is currently on (read: Which Y value represents the current X value for the lifeline). He is able to know your future for any given present but there is no way to tell what "tomorrow's future" will be because since tomorrow isn't set in stone, neither is its future. This last sentence creats a paradox though. How can you know the future, but not the future of the future? I'll solve that paradox for you guys another time
If you're intelligent and would like to discuss the possibility ofalternate time lines -- then I care what you have to say.
