I prefer to think that there are symmetry/conservation laws that work bidirectionally in time. Even if time travel were possible, the only events that could occur are those that don't break any symmetry/conservation laws. This could be seen as a weaker form of simulation hypothesis leaving out the concrete 'how' as an unknown.
I remember coming up with the idea of 'time legs'. A tree can't pick up and move somewhere else, and a falling leaf doesn't choose its path. Other creatures can. We just don't have the apparatus to move freely through time--our memories only form when moving forward.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoI like the concept of time legs! Time is a weird concept to nail down anyway, since it's relative, but from a single perspective there is only the perpetual "now". We can remember times that happened, but aren't "now", and we can conceive of a time in the future that is also not "now". We just need to figure out how to affect our relativity without needing to go insanely fast or being swallowed by a gravity well. Easy task...
