life is like glass, so fragile >D | emotions are so subjective | BCME? | home no. changed, pm me if u wan it said:
eh u nv blog

Ok matt, i blog now=)

Went to borrow a book on the Big Bang Theory yesterday. Its DAMN thick alright. I only read till page 47, coz there is some very cool theories and measurements in the first few pages, and was spending my time trying to work them out. Then the next few pages are gabbling about how ancient philosophers believed in an Earth-centred universe, and how it is so convincing. If i had not been born in the 21st century, that model is pretty cool. Then it talks about how Ptolemy built the first model of the Earth-centred universe, with the sun, moon, stars and other planets rotating around the Earth, and even added in lots of orbits and factors that accounted for the weird path we see Mars from Earth. Then in a few centuries later, Copernicus formulated the Sun-centred model, which wasnt widely accepted, and it was suggested in the book that he died when he finally saw the book he had been yearning to publish. Why? Coz the person who printed the book added in the preface that "it may not be true or possible". He supposedly died from shock.

That was crap, just wrote a paragraph of crap. I shall finish the book first before i type anything else.

Im seriously wondering the paradox of time travel in lots of TV shows and books. In time travel, the person in this moment went forward or backward into time. Lets say he disappeared from this exact second. Then he went forward in time. So himself in the next moment should either disappear(went forward too), or remain there(coz its that previous incarnate that went forward). However in Heroes, Hiro went forward into time, he can still see his future self. However in the present(and still going), his partner was aware that Hiro disappeared for a moment. How is that possible?

Reference from the movie "Cyborg She", its is really a uber big paradox. Well, the story goes like this: A guy saw a girl for a day, then the next year he saw a robot that he created for himself in the future, and sent back to the present. Then the robot died in some accident, and the guy grieved and created the robot again in the future. Then after he died, a girl saw the robot, took the memory and input into her brain, and decided to go back to the past and see that guy. Alright till now? Ok, then after the accident, she actually decided to stay there with the guy. So in this case, the guy had the girl, so he does not have the need to create the robot, so there will not be any time-travelling robot, thus the whole storyline is supposed to be wiped out, if you can understand and imagine. It is a common idea that meddling the past will change the future.

Well, i supposed the most sensable time travel i ever read was the Time Machine, and the dragon Nozdormu in Warcraft. At least they are able to avoid all the loopholes that i had dug out in most time travels i had seen.
