You misunderstand Morrison. Either there is or is not enough matter to explain how the galaxy stays together. It's a simple question and evidently the answer is that there is not enough matter in our own galaxy or the known Universe to explain why it stays intact according to gravitational laws.

This doesn't mean you need to toss the baby out the window, it just means the claim on explaining everything is going to have to be scaled back a bit.

Terence McKenna said of science, "give us one miracle and we will explain the rest." Despite what you may believe education is a controlled medium. Always has been to a large degree. The informed are aware that one does not receive accolades by opposing the agenda of the ruling powers. Understanding what that agenda is and where the ruling power of any epoch want's to take society is the difference.

I appreciate your knowledge in this area and it has value, probably always will have value, however the claims are greatly exaggerated.

Did you even read my reply to this point Gambeir?

It's not a simple question about magnitudes of matter. In fact we're probably not even asking the right question yet.

Like I said before, there are many possible solutions that we know about regarding the dark matter issue, and probably many more possible explanations to be presented in the future. Here's a list of possible explanatory mechanisms for the dark matter effect:
  • There's a field of superparticles or other weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the galactic halos that are very difficult to detect because they only interact gravitationally with ordinary matter, and possibly also have some other very tiny cross-section of interaction with matter. This situation is reminiscent of neutrinos - we only knew about neutrinos because of the missing momentum from nuclear decays and pair production processes. The evidence for their existence was 100% indirect for many decades, just as "dark matter" is to us now. Finally after modern technological caught up to the problem, we were able to build effective neutrino detectors so we could directly observe their very rare interactions with matter. It's very possible (perhaps even most probable) that this is our current "dark matter" problem - insufficiently sophisticated detectors.
  • Einsteins' general theory of relativity is an incomplete description of gravitational interactions at cosmological scales. Many extensions are being looked into including Einstein-Cartan torsion field theory and f(R) theories of gravity, among many others. So far none of these efforts have provided a convincing theoretical argument, but work is on-going so we'll have to see.
  • The quantum vacuum has properties that we weren't expecting. One of my favorite theoretical physicists named Dragan Hajdukovic has done some wonderful and audacious work in this direction, and we're waiting on the results of a few collaborations at CERN to see if he could be right - if antimatter has a negative gravitational charge then it looks like his theory can simultaneously explain the dark energy and the dark matter effects. I'm rooting for him - it makes a great deal of sense to me that both "dark matter" and "dark energy" are two sides of the same coin.
  • Spacetime is rotating locally with the galaxy clusters for reasons that we don't yet understand.
  • Any of a bazillion other possibilities that we haven't even dreamed of yet.
Given this variety of possible explanations, no: we can't say that general relativity (GR) is the problem here - it could be something altogether different. GR isn't a unified field theory so it can't be expected to explain everything (it says nothing at all about quantum field theory for example), it's only a theory of gravitation - and it's an incredibly good one: all of the most precise tests that we've made of GR have confirmed its astonishing accuracy. That's why most physicists believe that GR is correct, and there's either a swarm of hard-to-detect particles swirling around the galaxies and galaxy clusters, or there's another explanation for the flat galactic rotation curves.

Frankly I don't understand why so many people in the ufology community are absolutely dead-set against GR. It's not some rigid dogmatic theory - it's simply a descriptive and very flexible model of gravitation. Its experimental and observational track record is astounding and it's chock full of amazing, new, real phenomena - none of which we can't even technologically achieve yet, sadly. And I've already shown how it predicts negative gravitational fields, aka antigravity. You'd think that people would be excited about that; I know that I am.

Look at it this way: at minimum, GR has been absolutely accurate at all scales smaller than the mass-energy of an entire galaxy. So unless you're planning on developing a gravitational technology at the scale of an entire galaxy (which is obviously an absurd ambition at this point), then GR is the only gravitational theory that you'll need to do whatever it is that you want to do with gravity, such as designing a gravitational field propulsion mechanism to take us to the stars. To date, every observed gravitational phenomenon at every scale smaller than a galaxy, has been predicted and confirmed to high accuracy by GR. And it may well be valid at the galactic scale and beyond, as well, but we can't be sure until we understand what dark matter and dark energy are all about.

I think that people should devote some time to studying this magnificent theory before they go around trying to discredit it. The problem with GR isn't the theory itself, it's with our limited technological ability to produce the exhilarating range of phenomena that it predicts. So that's what we need to figure out. The reports about AAV performance characteristics as well as applied logic tell me that there's a way to couple quantum field theory with general relativity in a manner which will allow us to greatly amplify the coupling constant of mass-energy to spacetime, so we can exploit the mind-boggling effects predicted by GR. Manned interstellar spaceflight, and perhaps even time machines, wormholes, and spacecraft that are larger on the inside than their outer dimensions (like Dr. Who's Tardis) may all be possible once we can exploit GR at attainable energy levels.

So that's what we need to work on. I don't see what anyone could hope to gain from developing an entirely new theory of gravity, when miraculously awesome effects like that are just waiting for our technological ingenuity to catch up with GR.

It's not that everyone resists you; it's that you incite resistance by your own means. It's going to take you and others from your last home some time to settle in here and maybe then you won't feel like you're being attacked just because your ideas are rejected.

You have to realize that what you know is valuable and useful and appreciated. That doesn't mean I agree with what you think is a proven fact, and I haven't the time to bother hashing out why. I've shown you things and it's your choice whether or not you're going to re~visit those and other ideas for your own self, for your own self learning if you so choose.

The problem with science today is the same problem all authority is having and it's not a matter of what you know or don't know so much as it is a reflection of this greater issue and which begins a sense of integrity. If you don't start off with integrity than nothing else matters. It's an ethics problem for science over all, not a mathematical one, and so the search for truth has gone out the window and quite honestly this is what I'm witnessing and it's what others are seeing even if they cannot give voice to it.

I'll leave you to continue.

Thomas;

My biggest issue is this idea you personally seem to have, and it is an attitude that we can't get there from here. That everything is "oh so complex," that it's going to be centuries, and so forth. Well it is complex, so is a hydrogen bomb, and so is a television, but that's never stopped humans. What bothers me is this idea that it cannot be done, not for centuries, or maybe ever because ya know we just don't have this, that, or maybe we just aren't smart enough.

I see this developing story cropping up all the time now; that we are just too stupid to get er figured. This is something I heard Richard Dolan basically say in his video comparing us to dogs trying to figure out where canned dog food comes from. Alternate Theories Of UFO Origin

I don't believe that and will never believe it and the reason is that it's not true. There is nothing the human mind can conceive of which it cannot also solve. This is an expansion on that great line from the movie Patton where George C. Scott says; "there is nothing invented by man that cannot be solved by man".

So the elites' work around to that line is to say well they aren't human minds and therefore we can exploit that idea and say that humans aren't smart enough to figure it out. Neil deGrasse Tyson has made numerous statements suggesting that we humans may not be smart enough.

Anyone who selling that idea has little faith in humanity and gone over to the dark side.


No, gravitomagnetism isn't like ether theories because ether theories postulate an absolute rest frame that doesn't exist, and efforts to detect an "ether drag" as the Earth moves through the ether have been disproved.

It may be true what you say, but who in the 1800's was talking about the etheric as an absolute state of rest? This is not a way to ingratiate modern ideas to people who are alternative thinking and who have a lot of regard for those past figures whose ideas appear so closely to match such conceptual ideas as quantum physics. If you make statements like that in alternative forums you might as well call yourself a pinata.

History is the first weapon in war. Don't fire the first shot. Most times anything having to do with etheric postulates come out of the past and as pet projects for tinkers looking for explanations.


Technically frame dragging is a purely geometric phenomenon. But differential geometry is difficult to work with and there's a more intuitive way of thinking about it, known as gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM).

If' it's geometric there must be points which define the geometry, and which then suggests that space has a structure, or lattice work about it. Can you clarify this more because it's unclear to me personally, and if space has a structure which we know of, then do also know what the pattern is?

Geometry is a spacial function and seeing time as frozen frames of time is the typical picture presented of time frame dragging, and where space is like a record of frozen images of time: Past, present, and future typically shown as photo's linked around a spinning globe.


In the weak field limit (where gravitational fields are fairly weak like they are around the Earth and where velocities are much less than the speed of light), the laws of gravitation can be expressed in the same form as the equations for electrical charge interaction and electromagnetic induction - with the exception that the sign of the interactions is reversed.

This means that gravitation acts analogously to electric charge, and in fact it may be more accurate to call "mass" a "mass charge" instead. With gravity like mass charges attract, and unlike mass charges repel - the opposite of electrical charge interactions. Other than this inverse sign of the interaction, the Coulomb interaction equation is identical in form to Newton's equation for gravitational interaction (and as we know, Newton's gravity equation works fine in the weak field limit for calculating the acceleration of the gravitational interaction).

Thanks, very helpful.

Here's where it gets interesting: we can model any of the effects that we see with electrical currents and charges and induction phenomena, with gravitation as well, because the two are perfectly analogous in the weak field limit. One popular way to imagine this, is to draw an analogy between an electrically conducting wire, and a hollow pipe with a massive fluid flowing through it. So for example, if we create a coiled pipe in the shape of an electrical inductor, and run a very dense fluid through it in one direction, we've created a gravitomagnetic inductor that generates a gravitational dipole field in the same shape as the magnetic field around an inductor. Or if we oscillate the direction of fluid flow through that coil back and forth, we can create an alternating gravitomagnetic field that will radiate gravitational waves, just as an alternating electromagnetic coil will radiate electromagnetic waves.

Enlightening .


In 1963 Robert L. Forward published a brief but fascinating paper called "Guidelines to Antigravity" that took this concept one step further, and proved that antigravity is a real physical phenomenon. Which is probably why it was almost completely ignored by mainstream physics, when it should have been hailed as a momentous discovery. His idea was very simple and absolutely convincing, and it goes like this:

If we wind an electrical coil around a hollow toroidal form (a toroid is shaped like a donut), and send an increasing electrical current through that toroidal coil, we create a dipolar electrical field: on one side of the hole of the toroid we find a positive electric field, and on the other side we find a negative electric field. The same principle applies to gravitation - if we replace the electrical winding with a hollow pipe and run a very dense fluid through it at an increasing (or decreasing) rate, we create a positive gravitational pole on one side and a negative gravitational pole on the other side.

In other words, a body of matter placed near the negative gravitational pole will be repelled away from the toroid - we've created an antigravitaitonal field.

This is very useful Thomas. You've probably seen this but I'll post the link for others.

Sadly, the coupling constant of gravitation is so incredibly small that it would take a fluid with a very high density flowing at high speed through large pipes wound into a gigantic toroidal shape (say, the size of a football field), in order to detect this effect. So we've never been able to try it out, but we know that it would work because the equations are very straight forward, and well-proven at this point via various astronomical observations and NASA's Gravity Probe B experiment.

There's always a work around to any problem.


Robert Forward understood this problem of magnitude, and proposed another very interesting idea as a potential solution: he suggested that it may be possible to develop a material with a high and nonlinear gravitomagnetic permeability, as an analog for the iron core that we use to amplify the magnetic fields produced by a magnetic coil. I assume that this is possible. But to the best of my knowledge nobody in the public sector has ever developed anything like that, and it would still take an extremely dense fluid, and preferably one in a superfluid state, flowing around a very large toroidal shape, to produce a detectable dipolar gravitational field - unless we could develop a material with outrageously high gravitomagnetic permeability. And nobody knows how to do that.

Excellent information from a researcher's perspective. It's probably out there disguised as something else. I'd just about bet on it.

But I hope they develop such a technology one day. Imagine how cool it would be to have an amusement park "ride" where you could float in an gravitational field for awhile, before the fluid through the pipes began to lose acceleration and you floated back down to the ground. That's physically possible, but it's still an engineering challenge beyond our technological means.

I see, pipes and UFO's huh, well that's a new one on me. Only recently began running in to accounts involving UFO's and dangling pipes, but interesting. Thanks for the post.

I'm not really advanced enough in my knowledge on superfluid to really make that call, I would assume though. that there is some reason that this zero viscosity effect in superfluids would not be considered perpetual motion. This one, Is slightly beyond my knowledge to answer brother.
All I know for certain about Superfluids are a few facts I've read about it. Superfluids have zero viscosity. A tendency to climb out of their containers in a way that almost seems to defy gravity. and a tendency to somehow seep through otherwise solid containers. in a possibly quantum tunneling method. Outside of these things. This is all I know about superfluid :)
this is very weird, its just happens thats the same behaviour of some observed UFOs....
 

humanoidlord

The same question is sometimes asked about superconductors. The perpetual motion and current in these situations are perpetual only in a purely idealized theoretical sense. In practice, there's a variety of subtle effects and defects which act as resistance in any real physical scenario.

For example, consider a placing a bowling ball in deep space and spinning it. In an idealized situation with no other mass or energy in the universe, it would spin forever. But in the real universe there are always gravitational tidal forces acting upon the ball, and a tenuous plasma even in the deepest regions of intergalactic space, which would slowly reduce the rate of rotation.
oh, got it!

he same principle applies to gravitation - if we replace the electrical winding with a hollow pipe and run a very dense fluid through it at an increasing (or decreasing) rate, we create a positive gravitational pole on one side and a negative gravitational pole on the other side.

I sense this is a momentous insight for humanity. Suddenly a revelation has taken place. What remains is for the engineering and physics to be ironed out. I have visions at last of hover board and flying boots and of home energy systems.

I always said they had the technology and now we have what amounts to enough evidence to bring an indictment to a grand jury ~ if we actually had one that is.

The ARV was reported to be much cooler than the surrounding air. The abductees have reported spiral tubing in a central column. I speculated myself that the material in the tubes could be a super~fluid. It appears to me that this is truly a major insight to an enabling technology which was in operation in 1951 and evidently not by aliens. LOl~

Huh? I never said that we can't figure it out - you must be thinking of somebody else. I wouldn't be striving to figure out if I thought that it couldn't be figured out. My only point is that we haven't figured out how to get there from here yet. At least not in the public sector.

In fact I'm convinced that we'll figure it out sooner or later. Because AAVs are proof that it can be figured out. And if they can do it, then so can we.

It may be true what you say, but who in the 1800's was talking about the etheric as an absolute state of rest?
That was the main testable prediction of the ether theory. So when that prediction was disproved, and Einstein presented the special theory of relativity, the ether theory was defeated and physics moved forward.

Haha - that's fine with me. There are some interesting similarities, in that quantum field theory involves universal fields, but the similarities end there.

If' it's geometric there must be points which define the geometry, and which then suggests that space has a structure, or lattice work about it. Can you clarify this more because it's unclear to me personally, and if space has a structure which we know of, then do also know what the pattern is?
In the theories of relativity, the structure of spacetime is the same for all non-accelerating observers, regardless of their velocity, and the structure of spacetime between two observers in relative motion is well-defined by the Lorentz transform. That's all there is to it, basically.

Geometry is a spacial function and seeing time as frozen frames of time is the typical picture presented of time frame dragging, and where space is like a record of frozen images of time: Past, present, and future typically shown as photo's linked around a spinning globe.
That doesn't make sense - there's no motion in a "frozen frame of time," so that model can't describe reality. The time component has to be non-zero or there's no physics at all.

Yeah I remember that. It's just an analogy though. So it's cool, but there's no new physics there.

There's always a work around to any problem.
I agree. But it usually takes either a serendipitous observation, or a stroke of genius, to figure it out.

Excellent information from a researcher's perspective. It's probably out there disguised as something else. I'd just about bet on it.
Maybe. Personally I think it's more likely that we'll have to do some very clever materials engineering to get there. For example, there aren't any high-temperature superconductors just lying around in nature someplace: those materials have to be manufactured very carefully to create that effect. Right now we're learning how to engineer quantum mechanical properties in carefully manufactured matter, which simply don't exist in nature - that field is known as "topological insulators," which is closely related to the field of metamaterials. That's probably the best approach to achieve some kind of gravitational technology.

I see, pipes and UFO's huh, well that's a new one on me. Only recently began running in to accounts involving UFO's and dangling pipes, but interesting. Thanks for the post.
I didn't say that UFOs use pipes of moving high-density fluid; I said that's a good way to think about a gravitomagnetic device in theory, as described in Robert L. Forward's paper. Because it takes a high-magnitude mass-current to produce significant gravitomagnetic fields. But it's interesting to note that any electrical toroidal inductor with a changing electrical current also produces an infinitesimal gravitomagnetic field, since electrons have mass.

That raises an interesting question, btw. Because in superconductors, the effective mass of the electrons is much greater than that of a single electron (since they're coupled very strongly to all of the other electrons in the superconductor). We don't know if this effective mass, or the rest mass, in motion defines the magnitude of the gravitomagnetic field that's created - we've never been able to produce a strong enough gravitomagnetic field to detect in the lab so we can find out which definition of mass matters. I'd love to know which it is. Again, if we had a unified field theory (and I think we will find it, sooner or later), then we'd know the answer to that question.

Yeah, it sounds like he was talking about gravitomagnetism, which is interesting, because so few humans are aware of that effect - which is a real effect; no doubt about it.

But he also talked about an infinite velocity, and that makes no sense.

I sense this is a momentous insight for humanity. Suddenly a revelation has taken place. What remains is for the engineering and physics to be ironed out. I have visions at last of hover board and flying boots and of home energy systems.
No, sadly. Gravitomagnetism is cool, and it can produce a dipolar gravitational field, but those fields are conservative in nature. The negative gravitational pole in the center is exactly cancelled out by the positive gravitational pole at the equator of the toroid, by Gauss' law. So, while you could propel a projectile away from the negative pole at the center, the device itself isn't a propulsion device. No hoverboards or free energy systems, unfortunately.

There is an interesting question here though. Since the Earth is curved, rather than a flat plane at the surface, I think that if the gravitomagnetic field was enormous in size, then the gravity and the antigravity effects produced by a gravitomagnetic toroid wouldn't cancel out exactly after all. I may be wrong though. In any case it seems to be irrelevant, because the concept of a gravitomagnetic field thousands of miles wide seems pretty far-fetched, or at least, vastly beyond any foreseeable human technology.

I always said they had the technology and now we have what amounts to enough evidence to bring an indictment to a grand jury ~ if we actually had one that is.

I really hate to be the party pooper here, because I want to see this technology in the public sector more than anyone alive, which is why it's my primary obsession. But you're getting way ahead of yourself here. First we need to figure out how to produce a detectable static gravitational field in the lab. The gravitomagnetic effects are another order weaker than that, so we're still a long ways off from that kind of technology, barring some radical and totally unforeseeable breakthrough. And it's not 100% impossible that the defense industry has made that kind of breakthrough, but it does seem highly unlikely.

And for your default assumption to be correct (that all UFOs are secret human technology), the military would've had to have figured out and built that kind of technology by the 1940s. That strains the limits of conceivability to the breaking point. It's actually far more credible to assume that we've been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations for at least several decades, than it is to believe that humans conquered gravity control and warp field propulsion by the 1940s.

Thomas you're a good man: I know that.

I know you're only saying what you know and believe, which is appreciated, but what are we over~looking? What will show up in empirical testing? What have I forgotten? Sometimes, or most times it seems for me, it's the most obvious which is hardest to see. Like remember that gravity is not linear. If you can show any sort of change in the local gravity field then clearly you're on to something which can only get better with more of the same; so to speak.

I would just bet there's something which is enabling this system. Something which invalidates or somehow or other over~rides what would otherwise invalidate the idea. There's almost too much in the 1951 story to not have been an honest account.

The Story posted by humanoidlord is highly convincing. The only serious hole in it is the story is that it wasn't reported until 1977; otherwise it would be very strong circumstantial evidence that such a system was in operation in 1951. A fact I personally can believe is entirely plausible. As it stands the story is difficult to dismiss because it also features the need for water, and which is the seemingly curious part, but that buttresses the story too because It would seen that the endless looped superfluid could be driven by water via a triboelectric effect, either directly or by a secondary power generator run off water.

Ya know, either someone is playing on heck of long joke on us or there is something to this and if that's the case there's a solution somewhere.

the cosmic trickster likes to tell truth mixed with bullshit, its his modus operandi, right?
just like he told various correct prophecies to contactees in the 50's, while at the same time saying bizzare stuff like the pope would be assasinated and the american power system would (somehow) collapse

here is my experience with it. not sure if it matches others, but I bet it is not super rare
I went to school expecting to learn all kinds of neat new things,
took every physics course offered (other than thermodynamics, my life got all messed up and missed that one)
and I noticed a pattern in what they taught,
every time they found an anomaly, they swept it under some rug and moved on. they would also get upset if you asked about them.
why strong emotions were somehow a part of science was beyond me.
I seek the truth, and it was clear that my teachers did not.
and general relativity was at the top of that list.
to suggest that the speed of light could be altered (speed of light tests of spinning mirrors VS shutters) got not just talk of how there was experimental error, it got talk of how it is not possible for it to change regardless of actual physical tests. and general relativity was used as proof.
so as far as I can tell, general relativity is an idea. likely a pretty good one. but at some point people stopped using it as an idea and started using it as absolute proof.
anomalies show you were your ideas are broken, and general relativity refuses to look at the ones it has. it just invents some strange patchwork to cover the noticeable spots.
so I gave up on general relativity looking for other ideas that might predict more neat things.
ended up finding Carl Frederick Krafft and wilbert smith, and at least they show why the physical tests of spinning superconductors seem to have a gravity effect.
my best guess is that any model we have for reality is going to be flawed. so if we have 2 or 3 flawed models, we might get more new things out of science than if we stick to one flawed model.
so when people start telling me that general relativity is perfect and everything must be made to fit it, I tend to move on.
general relativity was great, got us lots of neat things from science, but its new predictions are slowing down. so I tend to think that other ideas need to be explored if we are to get much further.

That was the main testable prediction of the ether theory. So when that prediction was disproved, and Einstein presented the special theory of relativity, the ether theory was defeated and physics moved forward.
that was not even the best ether theory out there
there was still a group of academics that payed attention to the better ether theories,
the last of it was crushed when scientific american reported the data on other planets from nasa
they said that the earth was the only planet that had a magnetic field.
and the ether theories had agreed that every planet would end up having some magnetic field.
so when it was known that even Jupiter had no magnetic field detectable, (it should have had the largest),
the last support vanished.
I still have a copy of that scientific american in storage.
and you can go look up on the nasa website now, and they say that all the planets have a magnetic field, Jupiter is the strongest. and they quote the same probe as having come up with the data.
it dose annoy me a bit that the final disproof of ether theory was a lie (or a misprint)

that was not even the best ether theory out there
there was still a group of academics that payed attention to the better ether theories,
the last of it was crushed when scientific american reported the data on other planets from nasa
they said that the earth was the only planet that had a magnetic field.
and the ether theories had agreed that every planet would end up having some magnetic field.
so when it was known that even Jupiter had no magnetic field detectable, (it should have had the largest),
the last support vanished.
I still have a copy of that scientific american in storage.
and you can go look up on the nasa website now, and they say that all the planets have a magnetic field, Jupiter is the strongest. and they quote the same probe as having come up with the data.
it dose annoy me a bit that the final disproof of ether theory was a lie (or a misprint)
hmmm thats very weird
would want a PDF scan

Well I do want to get back to time travel. So can we just amuse ourselves for the moment and assume that a large earth quake has capped off the oil wells, the economy has collapsed, people are gardening their butt's off, and among the other revelations out of the deep state is that we have machines like the ARV.

What could we expect out of that kind of machine? This is what I'd like Thomas, Shadowprophet, and others to weigh in on if possible.

I know you deeply understand the Subjects. So I will skip ahead of a bunch of explanation on this one, Relativity is the current theory we are working with yes. But. Relativity isn't proven, And in some cases has been broken. It's almost impossible to confirm anything with 100% accuracy...

Actually TM (Thomas R. Morrison) is better at this than I am.

Relativity has been extremely resistant to challenges.

If you believe that GR has been challenged please specify where and how?

This is a great thread shadowprophet :)

Like most people I've paid only cursory attention these ideas. I think if you branch off in to the idea of many worlds you are indeed branching off in to science fiction.

On the other hand Minkowski space and time light cones are not really defined in human terms. I don't think it's logical to see the past as equal to the probable future. I don't think that if you go back in time you're going to be going back to any other time lines other than the one you came from.

You're starting from the mouth of a funnel and the whole idea of funnel is what? So it doesn't look logical to me that one would ever be able to go outside of the time line they are just now on the leading edge of. This implies that freedom of action is only available at the present moment in time. Each moment a snapshot of time but unchanging moments.

Time travel backwards would seem to me to be an exercise in futility: Ground hog day forever. This is the insanity of predestination which was the passion of John Calvin, yet to explain it would require a past that could not be changed, or at least not changed excessively, but that's what the past does appear to me to be.

The past is frozen inside a funneled column where range of actions are confined to a narrow band, if they are open at all, and so the future begins at the present and opens up to opportunity, while the past is confined inside a narrow band of possible actions. To me this is vastly more logical than to assume you could just go back in time and not do X, Y, or Z.

And it would seem more logical that the further back in time one goes, the less impact any action would have on the present, as the narrow confines of the range of actions would prevent and dampen alterations such that the reverberations would very shortly return to the constant line which is the defined past.

Time travel backwards would appear to be a sort of travel log. Back when I was a little kid they had these big presentations called travel logs which traveled around the country with slide shows and speakers. There might be a travel log show on say "Ancient Egypt." Sort of like the movies, but more like folks who made a living going to the backwards hillbillies with some culture.

So ya know you could maybe go back in time but you couldn't change anything significantly enough to alter the present, and then all that past would tend to focus itself upon impending actions in the present. So the insanity of Calvinistic determinism appears to have a sense of logic to it.
