Current Talk '09 II / 1897 Time Travel & the TT presentation at the Fest
« on: August 17, 2009, 11:01:55 PM »
My head is still spinning a little after Frank Borzellieri's presentation on time travel/parallel time. I thought to put this post here because the we're on the 1897 storyline when Barnabas travels back to save David.
One thing I used to wonder was: when Barnabas went back, why did he go back to his vampire body? What if he'd gone back but his body remained chained in that coffin? One explanation of course is it would wreck the storyline but I think it's also there was a belief you couldn't exist in time with two bodies.
I'm thinking maybe you can.
I didn't think to ask on Saturday because my mind was too busy wrapping itself around someone in a jet plane being seconds into our future (LOL) but maybe someone asked this question at one of the earlier presentations?
One reason I think it's possible is that it happens in a book called The Time Traveller's Wife. Then there's also the TV series, "Lost". The past season has been about time travel with the main characters being 30 years into their pasts. One character watches his father holding his infant self.
There's a way it works in physics but for the life of me I can't explain it. I think I saved a diagram of what your life would look like if you travelled into your own past, time bending in on itself.
Anyway, re the DS storyline, I wonder how things could have been different if Barnabas had just shown up as his 1970 human self instead of being transported into the vampire body?
