I had the weirdest dream...

...I was a little drunk yesterday (again) and I forgot to
turn on my alarm-clock when going to bed.
I was dreaming these weird dreams all about time-travelling.
And in all the dreams it was the same year I travelled to;
1999.
I don't know why 4 years was the amount of time I was
travelling in, but the way the last part of the dream ended
freaked me a bit.

I was sitting and telling this guy about the future when I
suddenly realized that September 11 had not happened yet,
and that I maybe had a chance of stopping it If I
could...but I didn't want to. I think I didn't want to
because our whole future and present is based on what
happened September 11 2001, that our life would have changed
direction without doubt if it hadn't happened.

Would you have tried to stop it?

i often think about things like this...you know going back
and changing things...but then I wonder if I would know the
people I know today or be where I am today.....so Im not
sure how to answer that

could it be that you have been listening to the Prince song
'1999' one too many times of late?!?

as far as accidents being preventable, often when some major
occurance of historical significance takes place - such as,
most recently, the war in iraq - i often have a feeling of
the dreadful inevability of what has happened - particularly
as it unfolds - almost as though it were a necessary element
of the present which propels us into the future.

there really does seem to be a kind of determinism to our
existence, in the past influencing the present which in turn
influences the future - if you assume that there is a causal
link to it all - that for every action there is a reaction
and so on.

Yes, I agree with nacmat. How would anyone just believe one
individual saying the WTC is going down in a plance crash
september 11th, 2001? I don't think they would evacuate
1000s of people in the twin towers "just in case".

they can't figure it out, it's theyre own fault :P

From a guy that looks like a south park character I wouldn't
take anything serious. :P

there is a way:

you start shouting it on the streets... so maybe in some
crappy tv program they listen to you, just to make fun of
you and raise the audience... so maybe nobody believes you,
but if alqaeda see how a crazy person is saying their plans
on tv they are afraid of doing it...

and if they finally do it...you become famous for knowing
the future

Paradoxically, you probably couldn't- as it is such a large
event, averting it would change the future enough that you
probably wouldn't go back in time, at least not to that
period. And even if you did, you wouldn't warn people about
it (as it wouldn't of happened to you), hence it would
happen again... Head fuck, isn't it?

"and if they finally do it...you become famous for knowing

More likely you are arrested and interrogated by FBI as they
think you had something to do with it :(

then they are idiots... cos if you begin to advice the world
in 1999 why would you be involved... and if so, what would
you be guilty of? if you are trying to tell the world about
the disaster from 2 years before?

time travel is logically impossible - at least within the
realm of our physical universe - because the moment you
attempt to go back in time is the moment you cease to exist.
the most minute change in the time/space continuum would
cause such a radical change of events on a cosmic scale that
the consequences would likely be unfathomable. i mean,
hasn't anyone ever watched the Simpsons halloween special
where Homer travels back in time?!?
