You can tell me. I won't tell anyone. Was it Orange Sunshine or just blotter?

Stehen King's "The Langoliers" = the Worst Movie of All Time. I love sci-fi and read tonnes in my youth, with The Time Machine being one of the first. And gladly, I can watch or read sci-fi dealing with time travel with enough of a sense of suspended belief to enjoy it. Anyway, I always thought that Einstein's thoeries, illustrated by the two clocks example, simply showed that time was relative, not mutable...and I do think there's a difference 'tween the two. Far as I recall, he never said anything that would mean time was mutable. And it certainly would have to be mutable if one could travel in it. Just taking up space that was once empty would mutate time. What's to keep one from ending up in an ancient mountain or sea at the end of the journey? Or even doing something that would negate one's own existence? If you were negated, you wouldn't have been born to negate anything, and would be reborn, then unborn, infinately. What a conundrum! I don't think the universe wants to have to deal with those sorts of problems, when it already has to deal with stocks like SCGI. -Kevin
