I like to have a good trawl through old threads every now and again, and I've just discovered this brilliant post from Sara Brown in the "Time Travel to 1912" thread:
"Whether or not time travel is possible, the way i see it, you could not change anything that had happened, because you were there to begin with. You go back to change something from now (2006) but you were there (say in 1912) because you went back. (does this make sense). You might not hvae gone back until (2006) but you were already there, anything you might do when you go back, was already done in (1912) by you. Therefore, you can change nothing.
i don't know if i was able to put that in understandable form."
Now, I for one think that Sara's post is just superb!
Then I got to thinking, has anyone else got a favourite post lurking on ET, be it witty, funny, brilliantly argued or just downright weird (like the magnificent Armand Hammer picture one).
Yours in eager anticipation for the goodies in store...
