> Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm.

I am a fan of paradoxes, solvable or not - doesn’t matter. The drinker paradox, the liar paradox, the prisoner paradox, the paradox of the intersecting parallel lines (from spatial geometry), visual deception, endless staircases, and similar brain-grinding tasks have always interested me, especially now that I came across my **very own paradox**. ![pexels-photo-169789.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdLWEijs9JPWSmiFpQgdV4EtPntj3x18C5F3wppveT1Wc/pexels-photo-169789.jpeg) Many of you probably watched "Back to the Future" and read the fascinating stories of Jules Verne and Herbert Wells. Some people are even trying to translate their conceptual and theoretical creations into reality (by the way, many of their “inventions” exist around us today). When I first heard about the possibility of time travel, time loops, wormholes, dilation of time, and so on, I got excited and decided to reflect on this topic. Many theoretical physicists, from Albert Einstein to Michio Kaku, indicated that "this crazy idea" is not so crazy after all - time travel is somewhat possible. But here's the trick ... ![pexels-photo-280264.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbRcTJhGjnkh5dfUbF3pzZ9bzPiPu49WADVwxmdCGYszj/pexels-photo-280264.jpeg) After much thought on this subject, I came to one conclusion (no, not about the destruction of the cause-effect relationship, this tale is as old as time). If, according to scientists, time travel, in particular to the past, is possible, and we can return to any point on the direct / timeline, **does this mean that every moment of time (for example 1 second) exists by itself, repeating itself endlessly?** ![pexels-photo-552774.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXAVYiSbfff5xE5YgJqiD3TE6DfhbwhbaqdmYN1DGx36V/pexels-photo-552774.jpeg) Here is a banal example. I can return to the past at the time of my birth and see my suffering mom and my nervously jumping up and down dad. However, I can also return to the moment just before birth, and the moment after it, and watch different scenes. Does this mean that each of these three moments exists separately from each other, disobeying the principle of the time loop continuity? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. I would really appreciate someone solving and spelling it out for me. ### Instructions on what to do next: Liked it | Liked it and want more | Loved it ------------ | ------------- | ------------- Upvote | Upvote and follow | Resteem and donate ### Thank you for your support!
