LOL! It's very true. And no figure less than Freud has actually said so. When she comes home from school, I will add it to the list of quantum mechanics and market dynamics <g>

There is a quantum mechanics theory (not mainstream, but I've always liked it) that says time travel is possible and will not cause a paradox. In this theory every particle sends two waves: one to the future and the other into the past. The future one is what we see and understand as cause and effect. The past one is the fun one. According to the theory, the present is a summation of past probabilities. When a particle sends a wave into the past, it changes it and we remember a version of the events that is consistent with the events. So the grandfather paradox cannot happen because the person who goes to the past to murder their grandfather will not only cease to exist, but the branch of events that included them will be pruned and nobody will even remember that this actor existed. His actions will be just one of the many waves that contribute to our understanding of present world and the history we remember. In other words, the universe works as depicted in The Adjustment Bureau, but without the drama. It's automatic. Another theory that allows for time travel is a multiple universes theory (with optional time loops). This one is more mainstream, but I never liked it. Overall, I've concluded there is no future in time travel <g>
