How would those living in the future know if someone changed the past, the new past would be the past of their memories (along with the past already being a pretty big mess).

I agree, Snoopy. Perhaps there would be instances of dejavu, but how do we know that yesterday is not but one of many possible yesterdays? The future is fluid, always changing, shifting and intangible in the present. Time travel, no matter how you slice it, is paradoxical.
What you all are missing, is the fact that there's a bigger plan than just what we want.
which is why our free will is so important.

I think our free will is just an illusion, in my opinion. We are slaves to the universe.
An idea I had before was that the entire universe and everything that has happened/going to happen is just from the huge Butterfly effect initiated by the Big Bang. Therefore everything is predetermined and all events down to the last atom move and operate in a precise way. The past is irreversible and so is the future. Destiny exists.
Just something interesting to think about.
Not so as a wibbly-wobbly ball of timey-wimey stuff?It's only paradoxical if you see it from a linear perspective (which is how we tend to see it inside 3 spatial dimensions).
This is very interesting. What is the difference between changing one's perspective on an event and changing the real nature of what has happened? I don't think they are the same thing at all, but what you say suggests that the line is fuzzier or not in the place it's easy to assume it is, a semi-popular notion with all sorts of implications. I want to know where you see it.Because time and the way it develops though is contingent with the present moment, we can (with sufficient mental intensity on our part) 'will' what happens, and perhaps even change our perspectives on what has happened.

You are ahead of your time, my dear.It should only be used for observational purposes, We already fuck up the present enough, we don't need to be fucking up the past more than our ancestors did.
We are equipped with recording devices that transmit into a parallel universe, so any change is well documented and offenders are imprisoned in a singularity. Unfun.How would those living in the future know if someone changed the past, the new past would be the past of their memories (along with the past already being a pretty big mess).
