Sending An Object Through Time

I'm going to try something different.

I'd send a metal box through time to Adolph Hitler just before world war 2 and within it would be schematics and information on future weapons, jet propulsion technology, missile technology, how to build nuclear weapons and a record of all potential movements by allied forces against the Nazis.

Why you ask? because i'm evil. :devil:
 
What would be the idea there? To ensure that Hitler wins, bombs England off the map, and that your alternate in that reality is never born?

Self-Termination Win!

How is it self termination? I am me, i'm not my alternate universe counterpart. But yes you are correct, the whole idea is for Hitler to win, the real reason being it would be interesting how Earth might have gone on had Hitler won. One world unified under the Nazis.

Does that make me evil? :devil:

He obviously didn't read the story linked above. :)

Yes I read it, I assume you are referring to the part where the guy goes and kills some Chinese Emperor dude and erases himself. Sorry mate but this thread works on an alternate universe basis so I wouldn't be erasing myself.

No, just a tad pointless, since you could never observe this universe you're trying to create...provided of course, there's no agency that specifically works against these kind of attempts, regardless of the uni-verse/multi-verse models required for time travel, that will let you get away with it.
 
Pretty much my point. You're only sending an object, so you can't observe the results yourself. And since doing this would result in the alternate Tacky's death (or at least not being born), THAT tacky can't experience the results either. So, what's the point?

Which, after going through the timeloop leads us back to Tacky's question of:

Why are people failing to understand the concept of an alternate universe?

We're not failing to understand it, Tacky. It's just an utterly pointless premise so we're having fun with our own.
 
You don't get it, I don't need to see this alternate universe I'll have created, just knowing i've created it would be enough for me but who said we can't see the result? I said living beings cant travel through it I didn't say we can't view it. ;)

If you wanna change the premise then go ahead, but the whole reason for the alternate universe scenario was to prevent the whole time paradox problem.
I know for an absolute fact that if i'd not used the alternate universe premise i'd have had 10 people in here complaining and giving me jip that it would create a time paradox. It would seem that trying to prevent such a thing occurring instead incurs people to complain the premise is crap.
So I was left with 2 choices, have people complaining about time paradoxes or have people complaining the scenrio is rubbish.

I simply cannot win with you people!

do you have a point loser or is that the point that you can not win what/ever happens :)

think of it as just the knowing the outcome of the game you loose right it is easy sometimes too easy but always you loose what is the use to begin with we try we loose

I tell you what, I give you credit where credit is due. You cause that much confusion with the way you talk that you can flame someone in Misc and people will be none the wiser to it, you even did it with that post in another thread where you said my wife had an STD.

I applaud you for it!

If by slim chance it wasn't a flame then I suggest you try to make what you are saying a heck of a lot clearer.
 
I'd like to send this thread back in time to an hour before it was originally started, so that the people can see what they're letting themselves in for. I mean, it worked for Worf and Deanna Troi. :bolian:

Are you kidding, this thread has gone well IMO, the only trouble it's had is people not adhering to the alternate universe rule and nitpicking that you can't see the outcome. ;)
 
I'd transfer ENT and VOY to film and, along with a couple of prints from the debates in those forums, send them back to Gene's desk...

I'd be happy to know that the other universe would have different series. :)

Although, as we have come to know him, he'd probably just make those shows and take the credit for them :(
 
What : A database with all the information in the world.
When : Victorian times
Why : To advance the people in the alternate universe.

Time paradoxes are Fun :cool:, And Confusing :confused: .

I Flame me,e,e, Flame so sorry: I was trolling around with my feet too big again and dumping on you, just trying to lighten the load ::: do not think you are the only one who has this happen to them because it is those that I flame like you that just get in the way of the fire at times (* splashes water onto tacky ,, you know I started calling you tacky right I was the first to say hey tacky from you that is a compliment. *)

you have to admit when I said I was a caveman you still didn't believe me did you???
 
I'm beginning to believe think is an AI with a random speech generator, with some picture he also picked up randomly from teh interwebz..

The collision between tacky and think causes a disturbance in the Force, as if a thousand voices suddenly cried out.

Oh wait, most of them are on here.
