I went back in my own body to observe the battle of Gettysburg.

I must have done something wrong...or the story of this battle are somehow wrong...cause the day and area I had planned to arrive to should be the last day of battle and not where I was.

I'm pretty sure it must have been me.

If I had invented such a machine I would never in the entire univers tell it to others.

The fear of someone would alter the history is real.. Not maybe or perhaps it is real if someone would get the hand of a time machine.

I would never have written this long story
or maybe I would because no one would believe me- just as you didn't believe me.

On the other hand

I'm convinced that history is "carved in stone" and can not be altered.
You can't travel back and shot your dad before you was born and thereby remove you from history...he is a nothing but a holograph of the past.

The bullet would go through him and do no damage.

That's what I think.

That's deep.


There is only the past as that is now history and the present is gone in a blink of a eye into history and the future is so so much.


You are standing on a cliff's edge do you..


A. Move back to safety
B. Risk it and stay
C. Jump
D. Slip
E. Be pushed over by someone
F. Blown over by the wind

Even if you could shoot your dad it would cause a paradox since with your dad dead, you would not be born and thus you couldn't travel back in the time to shoot him... which in turn would mean you're born and you would at some point in time travel back to shoot your dad, which means you wouldn't be born.. etc. etc. etc.

Multiverse theory!


Mapuc, you could had experience some form of genetic memory. One ancestor of you was there, survived, had descendants and the memory of battle was carried on.
At least that works on Dune universe, so...
