Time Travel x 02 : Pure Time Travel

Pure Time Travel: Let me begin this theory with an example. So, we are in 2009, you and your “squeeze" are going to Pizza Hut (where you eventually will end up doing things leading to your break up). At Pizza Hut, just before that hot waitress is going to come up to you, some shady looking guy starts hitting on “yours truly” and in your surge of jealousy you don’t notice the waitress at all. The shady guy also leaves and you successfully survive the date! The shady guy was no one but “future you” who had travelled back in time to save the date. (He returned back to 2015 once his job was done or he could lead an adventurous hidden life till 2015 when you eventually fade away and he carries on your life). Only in 2015, will you realize that the “shady guy” in your 2009 date was you and you travel back. The readers of this blog will surely be asking “what if you don’t realize that you have to go back in time to save the date?” The fact is that THE SHADY GUY WAS THERE, and that wouldn’t have been possible unless you realized that you had to travel back. So no chance that you don’t realize. (Though there’s always the case that there really was someone hitting on your girlfriend and had nothing to do with the waitress… but that’s beside the point).

According to this theory, it is assumed that every instant in the universe’s history is unambiguously defined. The major difference between Parallel Universe Theory and
Pure Time Travel theory is that, you cannot change reality in Pure Time Travel. All you can do is realize the reality where as in parallel universe theory you can actually change the actions taken by you. Let’s analyze the Harry Potter 3 book and movie to get a clearer understanding of the differences. In Harry Potter 3, the movie, Harry goes back 3 hours. But all the while, the original Harry exists too and the actions of “time-travelled Harry” affect the original Harry. This is Pure Time Travel. On the other hand, if “time-travelled Harry” had REPLACED the original Harry, it would have been a case of Parallel Universe Time Travel. The Butterfly Effect is a good example of Parallel Universe Time Travel. When the actor travels back in time, he replaces his original self and is able to change the reality. In Pure Time Travel, there may be more than one “you” existing in the same universe, while in the Parallel Universe Time Travel, each universe can have atmost one “you”. Therefore, in Pure Time Travel, the actions of “time travelled you” can affect the original “you” but in Parallel Universe Time Travel, multiple “you”s don’t exist in the same universe, so no question of actions affecting original “you”.

This brings us to Teleporting! Using Pure Time Travel, you can achieve teleporting (at least in a way). Suppose you get up to realize that you had an exam which starts in a second. What do you do? Well, use “Pure Time Travel” and travel back 10 min. Now use these 10 minutes to get to the class, and at the end of 10 min, the original “You” (who was in bed) will disappear off and that’s it! Effectively for the world, you disappeared off from your bed and appeared in the examination hall in a second!
Of course this leads us to the question… “Is this really Teleporting?”

That’s for you to answer! Its goodbye till Neel craxx another puzzle!
