Is time a river, or a lake?<\/p>\n
If time is a river, then one could travel back in time, and their presence would have just as much effect as a stick, or rock in a stream. Time would flow as normal around the rock or stick, and once removed, time would once again resume it’s normal coarse.<\/p>\n
If time is a like a calm lake, then even the smallest rock thrown into it would send ripples to the farthest shore, but let’s be honest. Not many lakes are that calm during a storm, so even throwing a rock into lake isn’t going to effect it much.<\/p>\n
In the end I’m not sure if someone going back in time is going to effect the future that much, unles you do something like throwing a bolder in the middle of a lake.<\/p>\n
Eventually the ripples stop, and time is just there like a pool of water.<\/p>\n
It seems hardly fair to compare time to water, but you get the gist of it. I mean after all time happens, not much you can do about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
