But would it contain everyone else you know? If so... why? Why not you? Could you only travel to timelines/dimensions in which you had already died or had never been born? In that case, doesn't it stop being time travel and simply become dimensional shifting?
Heheh. All hypothetical, but exactly why I do not (at this time) believe that it is possible.
I don’t think it could. Because if it did contain you (even if you’d died) then you have the matter you are created from in 2 different places (even if one of those places was in the ground being eaten by worms). I'm fairly sure you can’t do that without getting all quantum.
If someone who actually knows could correct me please but I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that you cant have the same “thing” (matter, atoms, quarks, mesons whatever) in 2 different places at once…… help?
And nothing wrong with hypothetical Mr.Human, its where the fun usually starts
