(February 8, 2017 at 8:14 am)Sal Wrote: Thinking time is real leads to the thinking that we can go back in time, when there's no "time" to go back to is basically the gist of it.

But that's wrong according to Relativity (the theory that that German guy came up with that's withstood everything thrown at it for over 100 years). Relativity says that the past, present and future all exist. Whether or not it's possible to access the past is another matter but unless Einstein (the German guy) was wrong, there is indeed a time to go back to.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
