Paradoxes...have to love them!
The is nothing finer in the world than a paradox.
Please be welcome here to write down your paradoxyl thoughts and your views on them. But make sure that what you have to add is a paradox and not just confusing babble! Two of my favourites would have to be the 29th of Feb paradox and the moving a rock Paradox. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If a man was born on the 29th of Feburary, by years he is 21, but by birthdays he is only 5 1/4. How old is he truly???  ----------------------------------------------------------------- If there was a stone in point A and you moved it to point B, then went back in time 1 minute and moved the stone to point B then, what would happen in the future. To move the stone from point A to B would not be an option because it's already at point B, but you have a full recollection of moving the stone from A to B at that time. What would happen? Would time stop itself due to the impossibility of what you just achieved?  ----------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep this thread going if you can. No SPAMMING!!! I have been forewarned that spamming even a little bit will get it shut down......so be nice!!!!

Your first paradox is what's known as "surprising logic", it's not a true paradox, it's just a little bit of information that has surprising data. Sorta like the "birthday paradox".
I don't understand your second paradox. If you went back in time to before moving the rock, and then moved the rock again to the same place, why would the future change at all? My favorite paradox is the unexpected hanging paradox. |

Understanding
Dead and Grateful said: I don't understand your second paradox. If you went back in time to before moving the rock, and then moved the rock again to the same place, why would the future change at all?
If you moved the rock at, say, 9:55 and then travelled back in time and moved it to the same place at 9:50....how can you then move it at 9:55 if it's not there anymore??? .

I don't see what the big deal about this rock is, unless it's a super rock that cures dieases and prevents natural disasters. O_o
I'm not sure what to do with this thread for now, though. It seems like it could attract spammy. HOWEVER, I will leave it for a while and see what kind of replies we get for it...if it attracts flame or spam, I shall close it.

lol, it's a paradox...it's not supposed to make sense! Please people, you heard Chez Daja. Add your own paradoxes to the thread. NO SPAMMING or it'll get shut down! You don't even need to add your own, just predict the outcome of others or what you think the possibilities of a certain one is. Just make sure you keep it L..E..N..G..T..H..Y!!!!

Exactly my point! But in your past you have already moved it then. So you are proving yourself and the timeline wrong (which should be an impossibility) by doing so!

Okay, since this is a spam-fest now, since it seems to be becoming two line conversation between two members, I shall move this to Word Games.
There isn't a great deal to discuss, but if you feel there is, do it in Word Games.

You would have created an alternate reality assuming that you don't just simply cease to exist as soon as your grandfather's last breathe escapes his lips.
