A Few Theories

A Few Theories

The funny thing about time travel is that it knows no bounds—an agent of time travel can affect anything at anytime, anywhere. Let’s say that human beings become capable of traveling through time ten years, or even one hundred years down the road. That means that at any point in your life, someone from the future could make a drastic change to your life. If the change is made early enough, you would never realize a change was made, because that’s how you would have always remembered it to be.

What that means is that anyone who is important or famous (or for that matter any one of us who will someday be important or influential in some way) could be forever in danger. The only way this can be downplayed is if you consider the fact that if humanity takes a million years to advance its level of understanding in theoretical physics, they may not consider the idea of changing something millions of years in the past as being terribly significant.

The reason why I believe that human beings are capable of these advances relatively soon is precisely because of that fact. If I were to be warned of something in the near future, with my phone going crackers and physical traces of a company left for me to find which is working on these very theories, I am almost positive that it means that I am going to have an impact on something important within the next decade or so in my life.

I was also wondering about how my phone could have done what it did, and how someone may have been able to change a few relatively important and noticeable things about it.

Barring the fact that we don’t know what kinds of limitless technology we all may have in the future (and whether or not someone can screw with my phone at will), I’m willing to humor the idea that it may have been accidental, yet still congruous with the time travel theory.

I like my phone a lot. Every time I check my cell phone account balance and am told that I am way overdue for an upgrade, my immediate reactionary question is always “Why?”

Assuming that me in the future feels the same way (I like to think that I know the guy pretty well), and that cellular telephones operate by constantly receiving feedback from their networks, I believe that if I were to travel back through time and leave a clue for myself, our identical phones might have synchronized with each other on the network, despite the fact that two identical cell phones were displaying two distinct (yet identical) signatures.

I think that my phone may have reverted to match the timing and sync info of future me’s phone because, simply put—the phone that future me has is probably way more current and more updated. The only way this can be disproved is if you consider that in the future, perhaps those updates on future me’s phone weren’t invented yet. I’m willing to believe this one because the phone I have would probably still be able to recognize the same kind of information, even if future phone was outdated.

Phones don’t just go through massive changes at random. I drop my phone somewhat frequently, but I figure that these aren’t the typical “dropped phone” changes. Something else may very well be at work.
