Do you like Time-Travel Paradoxes?

Here's one: If I were to travel back in time with a Mozart CD and make him listen to a symphony of his before he writes it. Then he writes said symphony... where does this symphony began? Which is its actual point of origin/creation?

No, I don't like time travel paradoxes. They give me (and everyone else) headaches. They have no answer.

The classic is the Grandfather Paradox: you go back in time and either deliberately or accidentally kill your grandfather. BUT, you kill him before he meets your grandmother. Your father, and you, are never born.So how can you go back in time and kill him?

Your example is very similar to one used in the movie Star Trek IV where Scotty gives the formula for "transparent aluminum" to a guy. Supposedly this guy is then "invents" the formula. Where did the formula originate?

Time travel is a stock in trade in science fiction stories, simply because the puzzles are infinite and unsolvable. There are no definitive answers, just fun ones to play with.1. The time line rearranges itself and there is a new reality.

2. The paradox remains unsolved.3. Time travel is impossible and results in a fantasy world -- Larry Niven's stories about Svetz.

My advice, don't take all this too seriously. Just do the mental exercise for fun..

Hmmmm the biggest paradox is mozart was almost completely deaf and could not have listened to it at all. He played by holding a stick in his mouth to feel the vibrations. When he liked the feell hed play it over and over so he could perform without the stick Sources: music class MitsuHadTheBaby's Recommendations Who Was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?(Who Was...?)

Your question is one any creative person finds themselves asking even if you omit the time travel aspect. Many times a song writer will write a song, but not know where it came from. Paul McCartney swears he had a dream and Yesterday came to him fully blown in the dream.

He went around for weeks playing it for people asking them if they heard it before because he could not believe that he wrote it. Bob Dylan has said many times that the songs are "out there" and he just pulls them in, like a radio reciever picking up radio signals. Where do these creative people get thier ideas?

Who knows? Maybe it's from someone in the future playing recordings to them..

Absolutely! Ever since reading "By Your question just show one of the arguments aginst traveling "backward in time" -- the result is apparently an uncaused thing beyond the one uncaused thing that is logically possible. Ways out are (1) many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, (2) the uncaused thing (the whole universe) is 4-dimensional, and temporal flow is only an illusion..

What is, is what was, and will always will be. Once you get into time travel issues like that, things become very circular. A great book about that is Time Traveler's Wife, I highly recommend it.

" "Time travel. Where? Why?

" "Can we travel back in time? " "What is a good city to travel to during the Christmas time?" "Do we travel in time? " "Do you think time travel will be possible?

" "Who is up for some music tonight for old time sake?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
