How would you time travel?
I'm thinking of writing a story about time travel, but there is one small detail that I haven't quite settled on. How DO you time travel?
There are plenty of theories about what physical requirements it will take in order to leap back and forth in time, but obviously, nobody knows for sure. What are your theories about time travel?
How does someone jump through time? Is it a mental command? Is it a contraption they build? Is is a Delorean? Is it an alchemical concoction? Is it a portal?
What happens when you go back in time? Do you end up in the same spot you would be, only 600 years in the past? Do you rewind time until you're an infant? Does a paradox prevent you from even existing? Do you solidify within a physical structure that occupies the space that you appear in? Is another dimension created where all the things you do will affect the future, meanwhile your old dimension continues on without you?
Can you travel between those dimensions?
What happens when you go forward in time? Do you occupy the body you would have, only older? Do you replicate and see a double of yourself?
Time travel, being a fictional thing, is very subjective. What do you imagine happening if it could?
