Too Much "Heroes"
December 29, 2006This thought occurred to me today, probably because I've spent part of my vacation watching the entire season of "Heroes" which was recommended to me by several co-workers (or, if you prefer, coworkers) and since I write a blog called "Blog Hero" I suppose I have an obligation to check that sort of thing out. In any event, it was great and I'll have a full review later. But this thought occurred to me today:
If humans ever do manage to figure out Time Travel, we would already know.
So see if you can follow me. Let's say that sometime in the future, like 2459 (I'm being optimistic about our chances here, obviously) someone makes a time machine. It goes without saying that their first thought would be to go back in time and steal really cool stuff. (See "Time Bandits") Well, since we still have really cool stuff, and it wasn't stolen (like Little LEGO people) we can assume that no one ever invents a time machine, because if they did they would have ALREADY gone back in time to steal cool stuff, and that would be in the past, which has already happened, except that it didn't happen, so it never will.
That thought occurred to me today, which put a damper on my day since I think time travel would be really cool. For example, if I had a time machine I could go back in time and knock out the sales person who would sell Henry his snow blower and instead I (now cleverly disguised as the sales person) would convince Henry that it was a bad idea to spend the money on a snow blower and that he instead should by the Mrs. Henry a nice necklace. Something in gold, with lots of little snow flakes made of diamonds or something. Barring that, I would just knock Henry out and sell his snow blower to someone else.
Disclaimer: If you're reading this and you're from the future I'm really very sorry about that whole "stealing cool stuff" thing and didn't mean it personally. But please email me because there are some things I really need to do over in high school and I'm sure we could reach some sort of agreement. I have lot of little LEGO people. Thank you.
