You are already living the results of your future time travel endeavour and nothing about the world as it is seems to me anyway, like something has changed that should have been otherwise, and I suspect it is the same with everyone else. Quote:
The simple answer is, if in 2021, Bob has been killed, and it isn't until 2021 that you decide to go back in time to save him, then your 2021 self failed to stop the assassin. I can concieve of any number of reasons why you would fail. Perhaps you tried to stop him and he simply bested you before going on to kill Bob, perhaps you decided the potential risk to the timeline was too great and stopped, perhaps you were stopped by some sort of time police from further up your timeline, perhaps as in the case of a great Red Dwarf episode, you stop the assassin, and then realise that the results would have been worse than Dead Bob and carry out the killing yourself. Regardless, the fact that your 2020 necessarily included your 2021 self trying to stop the killer, and yet your 2020 also includes Bob dead, your 2021 self either failed or didn't try. |
