Question: Whats your opinion on time!?
I had a little theory on time as a cycle, if time travel were possible it would of already happened in the future meaning the time that we exist in has already happened, this would also mean everything has already been predetermined to the end of all existance!.
like say i came back tomorrow in a time machine and told myself the lotto numbers, i would of told the future me the lotto numbers in that timezone!. its kinda confusing to example does anyone else have any theorys!?

I have several!. And if you have about twenty-plus years to study and learn the mathematics involved, you might be at the same level of ignorance and general confusion that I now enjoy ?

My opinion is that everything travels through time (like when something moves from one place to another)!. also, there are theories other than my owen that say that time is caused by the expansion of the universe!. I think, if you went back in time, you wouldn't see anything, since everthing has already moved, to the present!. also, I think it isn't possible to travel to the future because (duh) the future hasn't happened yet, and the universe hasn't expanded to that point yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sometimes I think our lives are predetermined, which means this already happened and we are really living in the future!. Since we have a destiny, everything we are living now already happened!. This means that we really have no control over what we are doing now because it already happened (I don't like the idea of not having control over my life)!.
If I had a time machine, knowing what I know now, and knowing what I went through, I would go back and change a few things in my past!. I probably wouldn't be the same person though, because some of the events I would change helped shape my attitudes, etc!. Like you said, it's confusing!. The question is, would you really time travel!? Sometimes things are meant to be left alone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Time is a measurement of motion; as such, it is a type of relationship!. Time applies only within the universe, when you define a standard—such as the motion of the earth around the sun!. If you take that as a unit, you can say: “This person has a certain relationship to that motion; he has existed for three revolutions; he is three years old!.” But when you get to the universe as a whole, obviously no standard is applicable!. You cannot get outside the universe!. The universe is eternal in the literal sense: non-temporal, out of time!.
