Is anyone else bothered by time travel movies and books in which someone first stops their parents from meeting or marrying or some such and then gets them back together so all is well? The problem being that the particular child they had was the result of a particular egg meeting a particular sperm and just calling them up on the phone in the middle of sex would change that. And on that theory just walking into the past and saying hi to anyone would change a whole line of progeny.
You just ruined back to the future with science.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
