If you kill you as a baby in reality you killed another you from another universe(multiverses theory) because if you change you’re past, you’re memories still don’t change because what has happened has happen forever, witch mean that you killed another version of you on a parallel universe ! So your paradox doesn’t exist !

Kalel Mercy - 2020-06-26

@1ereSTMG2 BOUNAJMA Mehdi so when you say "in reality" you're talking about some kind of idea you've collected from probably watching marvel movies and you're using It to debunk an actual metaphysics video?

Disintegration - 2020-07-12

god T - 2020-07-17

So if I kill my baby self does that mean I've altered my fate by changing a destiny? Or have I just rebooted my self to prevent that from happening again!!! or maybe it's another appending doom, either way, it's a very weird timeline. RIP

god T - 2020-07-17

so if i kill my baby self in the past my future stops existing but wait a minute! even if I kill myself the Universe can't let me die becuz "I killed My future that Binded me " soo in that reasoning, the Universe would have to ever reset me or create a Universe or Timeline were I still exist. p.s its also likely i'd end up killin myself again RIP :-)

Michael Mehta - 2020-02-21

It isn't hard to understand, it's actually dumbed down quite a lot in terms of how the scientist's actually explain it

Obvious Troll. Yet you still got baited. Congrats - 2020-03-10

Michael Mehta you could probably learn all of this time travel quantum shenanigans for all your life but you’d still be proven wrong in the future with a much better theory, isn’t quantum mechanics beautiful? To think you understand equates to you not being even grasping the fundamentals of it

TheUltimusProject - 2020-03-17

If u say this is confusing u haven't watched Micheals vid of counting past infinity

Great show !

Frank - 2020-10-26

I have just watched it and I'm trying to make sense of paradoxes by binge-watching videos on it.
I really don't get it how that show isn't more popular... I guess not that many people are interested in sci-fi and time travel than in dragons and magic.

Moss - 2020-10-26

@Frank The show being dubbed may put people off, before they even know how good the show is.

Taiga - 2019-05-18

I like how Hulk explained this in Endgame, If you go to the past, you cant change something to affect the present that you just left, because as soon as you go to the past, that past becomes your future

Stefan Alexander Lungu - 2020-08-19

@Squeaks The future you previously inhabited becomes your own past once you go back in time.

Samuel Drejby - 2020-08-19

@Squeaks Basically if you go into the past and change something, then you will cause a future that is different from the one you left, in other words a you create new timeline. So you cant change the future you left because it has already happened and is set like concrete.

Squeaks - 2020-08-19

Samuel Drejby but why does he say that the past becomes your future, and that future becomes the past?

Samuel Drejby - 2020-08-19

@Squeaks I'm not sure, I can't quite wrap my head around it. I did'nt understand the hulks reasoning about time travel in endgame. You should search for a video about the movie that explains it or something.

Trunalimunumaprzure! - 2020-08-30

@Squeaks yesterday and today and all of your other days happened. if you go back in time, that wouldnt change. they have still happened. so even if you go back in time youre still going to be advancing into your personal future by experiencing days.

Will V - 2020-07-08

casually came back to this video after seeing he made an 18 hour loop of it a year later

nikhil pawar - 2019-05-17

The time is absolute and there's no past, present and future. There is only 'Now'.
Time is an illusion, Time doesn't exits. The changes are happening to us. The date of starting of big bang, and one's birth date and the date of the end of universe is the same. Only and only 'Now' exists.

drewsocean - 2019-10-16

Try to explain this to so many people and they just cant deal with it. Its actually so much easier to understand since its always only now. Its the illusion that confuses people so much. That everything is occurring as a hallucination and rhat is that we are many people all living seperste lives moving into a future because we hallucinate those “changes”. Something made us this way in order to trap us in a system that we are designed to never be able to leave and have always been are and will be. I believe there is a veil though where time does exist but not in the way we think.

LegenDarius - 2019-10-21

@drewsocean You're not saying the same thing he is. You think we're in a simulation. But why would this designer program an understanding of simulations in use for us to realize this? Doesn't really make sense.

Kid Wawvy - 2020-01-31

Endermage77 - 2019-05-19

Having trouble with time travel?

Positrons would like to: Know Your Location

Jon Name Change - 2019-05-28

Why is this clever / funny, please?

Endermage77 - 2019-05-28

@Jon Name Change Some theories of physics think that Positrons are actually electrons going backward in time (Hence why the charge is flipped around), mainly for when you're looking at particle reactions on Feynman Diagrams.






One theory extends this logic and postulates that there is actually only one electron in the whole universe that just zips back and forth across all time and space, all the while just filling in the roles for every bloody electron and positron from here to last Thursday. And the positrons are this electron on the return trip acting positive because it's going backward.

Happy's Memes - 2019-08-14

Yoey Schwab - 2019-03-29

Australia and China exist...
Or do they?

I agree but I think that - 2019-03-30

The real question is
“But should they?”

Bret Sheeley - 2019-06-21

At the same time?

Seriously. Have you ever seen Australia and China in the same place at the same time?

Joseph Clegg - 2019-07-18

I don't know. I haven't been to either.

The song at the end, Shazam tells me a different wrong title every time I try. What is this.

Jason Stanley - 2019-10-02

I don't know what it's called but it's from an independent movie about time travel called primer. I find it irritating that everyone in the comments keeps referencing that lame avengers movie when this video is totally inspired by primer. Anyway if you check the credits to that movie you will find your song. You're welcome.

Halomaster 213 - 2020-04-29

Jason Stanley for one it’s not lame, it’s one of the best movies out there. Two no one said this video was inspired by Avengers, they’re saying that Avengers was inspired by this. (Which it wasn’t)

TheOne Bman - 2019-07-22

Well
If the future is already given, wouldn't that mean free will is false?
Also
If all timelines have already been written, what is choice then?
Man my brain hurts XD

Oddly enough, Dan, OfficialNerdCubed is working on a book with the exact title of this video.

They actually mentioned this on Twitter when this video came out, they were okay with eachother sharing the name.

HE UPLOADED TODAY NOT A YT RED THING!!! PSYCHEDASFUCK!!!

No Sha - 2020-03-08

Super Dooper this is what I've been thinking all this time. technically speaking, time travel in of itself is a paradox. if you go back in time to stop x from happening, then it wouldn't be an event in your future, hence meaning you wouldn't need to go back to stop it from happening; which then leads to it happening again therefore creating the timeline where you have to stop it from happening again. it's an indie infinite loop. but then again, if time travel really did exist then the most logical reason for it to exist is for multiple realities/dimensions. so going back to change something from the past won't stop it from happening in your timeline, but rather create another one (just like what jake said in the video). overall, time travel is a unique concept that probably doesn't exist yet because we still don't have enough scientific knowledge to know if it can exist.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

crankup - - 2019-06-20

This gave me a question
What would happen if, everybody could time traveling and changing their past individually..
Like, everybody can...
Every single one of us, changing our past, while someone is changing their past too that could effect our future.
Then our past person change our future in the past.
That could affect other person future.
I uh....

P.S : God has left the channel
