- The swimming pool case

Mind / robot

Time travel

Compatibalisom

In both scenario A and B, the agent falling in the pool is a certian outcome. But her will still matters when it comes her choice, rather than what will actually happen.

 

Althought the outcome is predetermined, one does have the ability to choose one's own action willingly.

- the block universe

Mind / robot

Compatibalisom

Time travel

In the block universe model, every event throughout the timeline had already happened, including time travelling

Consider the timeline as a string, then a time travel event is much like a fiber curled back, only to from a closed loop

 

 

 

In such case, time travelling itself is simultaneously its cause and effect, while the agent performing it falls in the illusion of changing something

- the immutability and irrelevance objection (multiverse model)

Mind / robot

Time travel

Original time line

Altered timeline

One cannot change what happened in the original timeline, thus makes this kind of time travel both effectiveless and meaningless

"the original timeline remain untouched"

- the immutability and irrelevance objection (hypertime model)

Mind / robot

Compatibalisom

Time travel

The hypertime model builds its change upon the original timeline, much like a rewrite version of it. By rewriting history, does it mean changing it or wiping it?

- the time dead loop

Mind / robot

Compatibalisom

Time travel

One enter the time machine, wating to go back to 100 years ago, but accidently set it to 1 seconds ago. And when he travels back, he now realized he has no way to stop himself from entering the time machine. Creating a  time loop that will trap the timeline till eternity.

Time travel

All the paradoxes and obscure scenarios, but never had we experienced such absurdity. Should that tell time travelling will forever just be a dream, or it can only exist under the condition of never able to be observed?
