[quote="Animal Mother":52f1b]Think about this.
According to his site he was born in 1998
That would mean he is 5.
What if Little john saw big johns site, Little John then Dies 2 seconds later, leaving the site on his screen.
Would the site exist?[/quote:52f1b]
who is little john? and we we talking about the fictional guys site?
and if he was born in 1998 and comes back in 2036, his aging doesn't go down (because backwards through time is impossible) so he isn't 5, he is 38. his site was posted at present time, and your question basically answers why we can't go backwards though time..... only forwards.

but you're saying time is a measurement of time, but time doesn't exist.... so time is a measurement of itself, but itself is inexiistant.... so then the measurement doesn't make any since and the end of the world is near.

You misunderstood.

John is a 5 year old supposedly.
When big John comes from 2036 to now.
Big Johns site http://www.johntitor.com
Little John sees Johntitor.com
Little john dies with Johntitor.com on his screen.
What happens to johntitor.com?

I didn't read the site, so I wish you wouldn't use it as an example, but I think I know where your going. I'll take a stab at it.

Little John would not beable to die if he is to grow up and create a site, then travel back in time.

The site wouldn't exist, no if Little John died and was never able to grow up and make the site. Is that what your saying?

If that is, what I'm saying is Little John can't die if he is to grow up.

This is somewhat like the Grandfather paradox.

If I go back in time to see my grandfather and then I kill him, how was I ever alive to actually go back in time and do that? It's not possible. This is one reason why some think its not possivle to travel back in time.

But this entire time i've been talking about traveling forward in time, not back.

i'm so confused what's going on.... if the site was made by someone in normal earth time by someone who hasn't traveled back from time (since it is impossible) nothing will happen to the site. this time you used little john, big john, and john

actually he would exist in two places at the same time. There would be a john at 5 years old and a john at 38 years old.

that's what i figured he meant, which is why i said the question answers why going backwards in time isn't going to happen.... so many johns of so many sizes.

But he has the site on his screen when he dies.
Does the screen just shut off?

As I said before, little John can not die, because he is to grow up and create a site and come back to now from '36, right? Its not possible for him to die and therefore the site would still exist.

guarnere · 12-15-2003, 12:03 AM

he wouldnt know, cos he'd be dead and no one would be there to see what happened

Fireal · 12-15-2003, 12:03 AM

What if you shot him yourself?

If someone comes bck to now from the future, they can not die. Since the future would be his present, how could someone die in the past and live in the present? Its not possible, therefore LITTLE JOHN COULD NOT DIE.

bwolf · 12-15-2003, 12:04 AM

it's hard to say since its impossible to begin with, but i suppose if he died in the past he could never be in the future and thus could never come back to make site, but then the kid also would have never looked at the site, but with today technology the site is on his computer so it wouldn't shut off.... although i suppose he couldn't refresh or come back to it.... but i agree with you here.... we've all seen back to the future.... and going back through time isn't possible, so the situation could never come up. trying to see where you are going with this.
