The Nature of the Beast...

Through recent late night conversation it has come to my attention how little my friends now about quantum physics and time travel, and other such practices and theories. Even if they are just theories...

After reading "Time Travel In Einsteins Universe" I began to think about "jins". A Jin is something, could be anything, that exists only in a cyclical path in the Time/Space Continuum. For example, lets say a man has a watch that he recieved from his mother when he was a small boy. Later when the man grows older, he travels back in time...(at this point it doesnt matter how, Im not writing this to argue the possibilities of time travel, perhaps another time)...so the man travels back in time and gives his mother the same watch. This watch then only exists in time and space from the moment the man enters the past to the moment he leaves the "present". This particular watch is a "jin".

Now that you have a general idea of what a "jin" is I propose my theory. The human race could be a "jin" in itself. Lets say that someday a very long time from now, the last human beings decide that in order to survive, or for whatever reason, they travel back in time. Far back in time, before man roamed the Earth. And they of course begin to start living again, pro-creating and whatnot...Thus creating the human race...Thus creating one hell of a "jin".

Now this theory in many ways implies Pre-destination to be a given. Which is in many, many peoples minds a hard thing to grasp, or accept. Which is fine, if we throw some sort of dimensional vector into the equation. Its like in Back to the Future part 2, when old Biff steals the Time Machine, travels back in time, and makes young Biff rich as hell. When he returns the Time Machine to the future when he stole it, its the same future he left...In other words, no rich Biff. That doesnt fit into the equation because of so many reasons. Like who would have created the time machine if Doc Brown was committed, and blah blah blah...I dont want to get into it...Its a movie. However it does provide a good example of how time can branch off into alternate universes or dimensions as we will call them. I know it sounds a little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for some of us, but there are no Krangs, or Wart-Hog Men in my story. Though there may be a Dimension X.

So lets say the Human "jin" is set up like a giant elipse with a line down the center of it. The line down the center being representative of the time space line as a whole, and traveling across the elipse clockwise representing the path through time for mankind, or the Human "jin". It has the same beginning and same end point on either side of the elipse. Now we could have an infinite number of elipses inside or outside the first elipse. All these elipses would still have the same start point and finish point. At any point, during any decision making process you could branch off into a new elipse, but in the end you will always end up at the same end point in which you loop back around to the same beginning point. And just like that watch brought up earlier, mini elipses can form on the larger ones, causing a "jin" within a "jin". Its interesting to think about, and it opens up the door for endless amounts of further discussion.

Now why elipses?...I really am just using elipses as an illustrator, to make a simple model of the universe I am trying to present. I mean the paths could take any sort of "shape", from a diamond, to a rhombus, to an eratic blob solid, so long as the path intersects with our time space line at the same two spots...Given the fact that there are an infinite number of possibilites for this thing to play out, that would suggest an infinite number of possible dimensions...all with the same outcome, Human beings creating themselves...

I suppose it can still be argued that pre-destination is a factor, but much less of a factor when put this way. I for one am not a big fan of pre-destination which makes the entire concept of time travel back through time quite hard to comprehend with out the idea of multiple dimensions. And being a huge advocate of time travel myself, I am obviously gonna be rooting for the fact that its possible...So climb aboard the Technodrome for some inter-dimensional travel.

Now we wont get into the law of conservation of mass, cause that opens a whole new world of me pretending I know what Im talking about...Not to mention elipse has two l's...
