Bertrand Russell stated it the most clearly: "There are no paradoxes". That's because paradoxes (including temporal paradoxes) are self annihilating. That also means that there are no such things as time branches. However that doesn't necessarily eliminate time travel as a possibility. It just means that only positive feedback is allowed. IOW one cannot change the past, one can only ensure that it happens the way it did. >Robin, >I agree And perhaps these yet to be discovered devices to travel thru time >will look like UFOs!
