You're welcome.

comments.deviantart.com/1/4161β¦ No one can hear you scream in space, but our space-bound satellites sure heard something coming from our neighboring planets (including good ol' mother Earth).

Oh that's some cool reference stuff!
π: 0 β©: 1
Pretty eerie, too, when you think about it.

Oh? I don't really view it that way. It's essentially sounds of the creation of the universe. The farther back you go toward the big bang's originating spot, the farther back in time you go, so it makes sense residual sound would remain! It's incredibly interesting, space.

Well, it would be kind of eerie if you were travelling throughout space and you heard that as you got closer to a planet's orbit.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh certainly, that sort of irrational uncontrollable fear that you get when you hear a sound in the middle of the night.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, when you're used to the silent void of outer space...and you hear sounds like those...0.0

Exactly. It'd be creepy

As I said, I love space. My roomie used to be my astronomy professor so he just spouts super cool science stuff at me.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's pretty cool. ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
It is! I've learned a lot!
π: 0 β©: 1
And yet, there's still so many mysteries out there to be explored.
π: 0 β©: 1
Like the possibility of finding worlds like ours.
π: 0 β©: 1
True. There are habitable worlds we've found, if I recall one of Jupiter's moons is very close to Earth in structure.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't recall the name of it, but I do remember reading it recently.

Well I remember scientists saying that if any part of our solar system has liquid water, the very key to life, it's Europa.
π: 0 β©: 1
That may be it then.
π: 0 β©: 1
And it's amazing to think about it, too...a watery world protected from the airless void of space by miles of ice.
π: 0 β©: 1
There's a lot of astounding things about space, cosmology is incredibly interesting, as well as theoretical physics. My roomie talks about that a lot too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Especially the possibility of life on other planets.

I'm more interested in the theories behind time travel and all that that entails.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I think time travel is perilous if you consider all the possibilities of ways one mix-up in the past can cause unthinkable damage in our present or future.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well see that's the thing, theoretical physics would imply that a paradox cannot exist. Say, for example, if I went back in time and attempted to kill Hitler. The universe would, in turn, make sure I could not succeed, because he's already done things and that bit of time is set.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait...so then all those time paradoxes I've seen in movies and such is wrong?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahaha, basically! The universe will defend against a paradox, because a paradox, by it's very nature, cannot exist! If I tried to stop someone from being born, the universe would do everything and anything to ensure I couldn't, because that would create a paradox!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmm...so, if I were to go back and eliminate every scumbag tyrant, dictator, mass murderer, rapist, what-have-you, these creeps would still appear in the history books?Β That sucks!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it'd be more like you /couldn't/ eliminate them. Say you go back and try to kill Hitler. You've got higher tech guns and everything. Nothing should go wrong. The Universe, to defend itself from paradox, would make YOU have a brain aneurism and die or something like that, to keep you from creating a paradox.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait...how could I have a brain aneurism? 0.o'Β
Plus, I think the Nazi party still would have made a bid for world conquest, Hitler or no Hitler.
Well, when I'm thinking of disruption in the flow of time, I was thinking even further back, like if I wanted to travel back to the time of the dinosaurs and was forced to kill a velociraptor in self-defense.Β Since dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds, what if that would disrupt generations of birds down the evolutionary line?
π: 0 β©: 1
Basically, the universe would make it so. It has to defend against a paradox and if nothing else could stop you, that would be it. History cannot be altered in any way, but you are from the future, ergo your future is still up for grabs.
Well yes, but that hardly matters. A Paradox cannot exist, ergo Hitler could not be killed in a time travel botch up.
With something like that, it's a lot easier. There were MANY velociraptors, as long as you didn't kill them into extinction, you'd be able to kill one. Little things like that are fine, however trying to alter the course of history by killing a prominent figurehead would not be allowed by the universe.

Huh.Β So, Ray Bradbury had it all wrong in "A Sound of Thunder."
Well, nuts.Β That would have saved a lot of people from being needlessly slaughtered.
Hmmm...well, what if one was to eliminate the very first dromeosaurid (that is, the raptor family)?
π: 0 β©: 1
Most of hollywood gets it wrong.
Basically, you can't alter the present. If you tried to kill your own ancestor, you'd be killed instead and they've live to create your family line, same goes for species.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah...I guess so.
Hmmm...that's true.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's essentially a safe guard. You can't rewrite history because that's simply not the nature of space-time.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup! It's pretty amazing the way the universe defends itself, it's like any number of creatures. Science is amazing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Absolutely.Β It's infinitely more interesting than sports.

I actually watch football with them sometimes too, my sciencey roomates. It's pretty hilarious watching them watch it. Mainly we watch netflix stuff though.
