Over and over due to the past gallon being present at the exact moment the future gallon is placed down.


No. It would just be one gallon moving backward in time.

Unless every time you send it back you also clone it.

Your graph discounts the paradox of the past already existing in place if you change it

If I send you back to 1 minute ago from point A to be in the same room next to me at point B…you will be standing at point B in the present as I am sending you back from point A

In other words, at the very moment I go to send you back to point B from point A, you would have already been at point B as well because that already happened in the past…

Creating a paradox where you are standing at Point A in the present to be sent back but also at Point B because it already happened in the past

Keep doing that and the paradox multiplies




No, it doesnt.

From your perspective, after you send me back to the past, there will be only one me from that point forward... the one who went back to the past, and witnessed you send me back to the past.

Not an infinite number of me's

You are acting like the one you sent back to the past is going back to the past AGAIN, along with the first time trip.

The graph is the trip from the gallon of water's perspective.

If this were to happen, the equivalent of the Pacific Ocean would be duplicated and dumped on us in 570 years

Be careful with those time machines baws


havent you seen the movies...the same matter cannot occupy the same space....

If time travel is possible BUT it creates new branches/timelines, and we have no proof of time travel, does that mean we're in a "stranded" original time line where time travel doesn't happen because the time travel actually happens in the new timelines?



Yes, exactly
