Parallel time continuum ...Gotta love time travel! <br /><br />Parallel time continuum is a favorite venue of mine to use when I write time travel stories. I also love the minimal contact, minimal effect ideas as well. So base your TT on these ideas and then let your imagination go. <br /><br />It can boggle the mind however! But I've also found that you can lose your reader if you get too techy in romance and SFR as well. They want to read about characters inside a plot that centers lightly around technology, not a text book!<br /><br />Good post, Jay. It got us Brigaders thinking!Kaye Manrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639814610213100626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-18855977169753056002010-05-12T07:23:24.264-07:002010-05-12T07:23:24.264-07:00Kim said, "...and time stories usually mean y...Kim said, "...and time stories usually mean you can kill the heroine and hero at least once."<br /><br />Man, that's evil. I LOVE it. <br /><br />I usually think about the onion, if you mess with the past, your original timeline still exists, but you get to take one giant step sideways into an alternated path. :-) Only because thinking that keeps my brain from exploding. <br /><br />great post.Frances Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690177907315923299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-5367172220858610122010-05-12T03:46:44.537-07:002010-05-12T03:46:44.537-07:00Time travel can make your brain spin.

I play with time changing stories every so often...usually when all other work has been cleared and I have a huge piece of paper to work out all the permutations.<br /><br />Oh and time stories usually mean you can kill the heroine and hero at least once.

As each new movie came out the "tracks" through time doubled back over themselves repeatedly...until you had scenes where Marty McFly encounters himself doing things he did during an earlier journey back in time, and all before he was ever born. *boggle*L.

But a lot of theorists today believe that it is impossible to change the flow of time, that everything that will happen, has already happened.<br /><br />Unless we take the onion skin view of the universe, and then an infinite number of things could/will/are happening in parallel time continuums - every possible outcome, every possible variable. <br /><br />Now I have a headache....Sandra Stixrudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422701621985748579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-44656330311739512312010-05-11T13:32:25.551-07:002010-05-11T13:32:25.551-07:00I'm into time travel stories for the pure fun!...I'm into time travel stories for the pure fun! Thinking about it too hard just give me a headache! In my time travel romance, Erin's Rebel, I used reincarnation as the catalyst that takes my heroine back to the American Civil War to visit a time she actually lived before in a past life.Susan Macateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476340887041053638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835785233541439590.post-44123568694106844352010-05-11T12:28:17.315-07:002010-05-11T12:28:17.315-07:00Wasn't it Heinlein that did one where the main...Wasn't it Heinlein that did one where the main character became his own father?

See for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox for the paradox of killing your ancestors before you are born - what happens next?<br />Weird.

If the terminator had succeeded and killed Sarah Connor before John was born, then no one would have survived judgement day, Skynet would have won. And thus, there would be no need to send the terminator back. In which case, Sarah Connor wouldn't have died and John would have arrived on schedule.
