theory a' redundancy

[absimilliard's adventures part two]

alright, i decided to ditch my previous experiment (see "stuck in a time loop").

then i proceeded to study the concept of travelling back in time to meddle with stuff.

y'know, to see if a tiny ripple in time could be destructive enough to disrupt the flow of energies on an entire plane of existence.

deep? nope. i don't even understand what i'm sayin'. i just came up with those words and i thought, "hey, these words make me sound intelligent! plus, it adds to my 'cool' factor! awesome!"

but yeah, it's somethin' like that.

anyway, as i was observing the ebb and flow of time without actually interfering, i happened upon a dude who has the same enthusiasm an' level of intellect that i have.

funny how he looks exactly like me. he told me his name is mars. yeah, like the planet.

"cool name. who gave you that?"

"i dunno. i just had this name. i'm actually a split personality of some dude, i just can't seem to remember his real name. can't even remember how i got separated from his persona."

"uhuh, yeah. let's talk about somethin' else, okay? yer twisting the nether regions of my brain. remind me to take a look into that particular matter, one of these days."

then we headed to the nearest bar to get somethin' to drink, to clear our minds.

we discussed about my previous experiment and he gave me some really deep insights and intellectual remarks. we also managed to come up with some theoretical probabilities and analytical assumptions.

finally, we concluded that we needed to perform an experiment, to test our theories. he agreed to become my test subject.

our experiment was, to have him travel to the past, two years before the present time, to cancel himself.

we chose two years, because he told me that he was separated from the original persona exactly two years before now, and i wanted to determine what effect it could have on him.

i logged everything i have observed, to keep track of events.

1. he traversed backwards in time two years before the present time.
2. he found himself, looking two years younger, obviously.
3. he and his dupe talked about the experiment, and the dupe, wanting to be part of science and history, willingly cooperated.
4. he done died.
5. time froze.
6. there seems to be an imbalance, i figured.
7. i went to the time before he killed the dupe, and pulled him out.

"what the hell are you doing?", says mars.
"you got stuck. i had to pull you out. seems there is an instability of some sort.", says me.

we analyzed the results of our experiment.

hmm..

enlightened, mars exclaimed "i got it! how can i kill myself in the past, knowing that if i kill myself in the past, there will not be an existing present-day me to travel back in time to kill myself in the past, right?!"

"i get your point, mars. it only means we're back to square one!", says me.

we encountered the same loop problem, that's what. seems death does help change things a bit.

an hour afterwards, we formulated the "theory a' redundancy". err.. "theory of redundancy".

int y
y = x + 1
while x < y
if x < y
x = x - y
end if
x = y
wend

somehow, we hafta find a way to overrule this theory a' redundancy.

only then, can we become gods. an' i think i just might have an idea on how to solve that.
