in back to the future, when doc, jenniffer and marty go in the future, how is that possible, if that hasnt happend yet? i can see how it is somewhat possible to go backwards, but forwards? it never happend, how the hell does that work?

the things that i think of...:rolleyes:

" i can see how it is somewhat possible to go backwards"

erh...you can? :p

How about we leave the explanation at: IT'S A ****ING MOVIE!"

rofl @ NOA!!! XD ...

Seriousely though, I see what you´re saying...and it actually got me thinking too (wow, you did it!)....hmmm....
Well, I can´t believe that there would be only one past/future.
There are far too many elements that influense the way how things are to have only one and absolute future. So, you´d have to "choose" what future..or better yet, you´d have to choose all the elements and factors that have the slightest impact on the result. That would be simulating, not seeing the "real" results...so.. Aw damn... Don´t make me overheat!!: klmgdfoijngådfnb nb å¨ådfö .. -sg¨å --. RUNTIME ERROR.

wow NOA, it was just a thought i had. i think we all realize it was a movie, but some movies make me think. some of your posts/replies kind of get annoying, no need for that stupid remark OR the big font :rolleyes:

I'm a smart ass.

ugh, whatever

close this thread, NOA's aggravating me a little bit too much.

smart asses these days :rolleyes:

oops. Mistake. Sorry. Ignore..

Don't make fun of meh brotha man, NOA.

Anyhow... don't think of time as a line thats forming with the present. Think of it as a line that has always existed. Think of it that way, and you'll realize that you can go anywhere on that line that you desire. Essentially anyways. Its far more complicated to that, but thats the gist of time travel. :D
