No comments? What's wrong with you people? This chapter is fun to read. It has time stuff all over the place. I for one would love to play with the time line.

But there is something you failed to consider. Parallel universes and paradoxes.</p> <p>Just because you change the time line doesn't mean the time has really altered. All it means is that you're getting to see how things play out if something happened differently. Your time line still exists, but in order to get back to it, you have to go back to the exact moment you changed time and instead, don't change it. Either that, or have a parallel reality drive (referencing Stargate: Atlantis season 5, episode 4, "The Daedalus Variations").</p> <p>As for a paradox, that is something that is extremely dangerous, and causing it is the last thing anybody should do. A paradox can result in the universe getting unstable in a local point in space/time, and if left unchecked, this instability can destroy that part and possibly ripple out until it reaches every edge of the universe, ultimately destroying everything in all space AND time.</p> What? No comments? What’s wrong with you people? This chapter is fun to read. It has time stuff all over the place. I for one would love to play with the time line.

Anywho, causality is something you shouldn’t be messing with, not unless you know exactly what you should do, and you actually DO it. But there is something you failed to consider. Parallel universes and paradoxes.

Just because you change the time line doesn’t mean the time has really altered. All it means is that you’re getting to see how things play out if something happened differently. Your time line still exists, but in order to get back to it, you have to go back to the exact moment you changed time and instead, don’t change it.

As for a paradox, that is something that is extremely dangerous, and causing it is the last thing anybody should do. A paradox can result in the universe getting unstable in a local point in space/time, and if left unchecked, this instability can destroy that part and possibly ripple out until it reaches every edge of the universe, ultimately destroying everything in all space AND time.
