Here's my theory. If we were to travel back in time to the point of say our G G G'parents who we'd know to be dead and we met them then they'd still think they were alive. Therefore could the same be said of us that we are already dead and that the future is already out there and has us recorded as just a date of birth and death. And where would this stop?

Hi, well you seem to be of the mind, that time is a line, possibly with other parallel lines, being alternate realities.. right..
What if its not, what if time is a circle, what is there is a point on the loop, where everything resets, or by some magnificent 'godly' fluke, it just happens that everything at the end of time and beginning match up
i mean, if i broke time right now, there would be a begining and an end right, and if i joind it back together both halves would match...... so why wouldnt this be true anywhere on the circle....
and time travel is much more possible, if time is a circle..

The answer to this question is yes. But I have a different answer. Interesting thing about this questions answer is that we die more than 1 time. Anybody heard about the term sneezing. If yes start counting the number of sneezing. As per the medical terms when you sneeze human body dies for 300 mille seconds and come backs to life. Ever wondered why your eyes close when you sneeze. Practically I do know the answer but when u sneeze your eyes closes and opens again. So guy each and every time you sneeze we die and come back to life,
About your explanation its technically impossible. Reason is the occurrence time that u explain here in your theory is at a single point of time. That is everything happening in an single time. Because life is identified by span of time and not fixed in nature. If we see your explanation person died in 14 century is still dying till day and not dead yet. So practically I don’t accept this theory.

Your just making us all upset now :( . But we are alive now, but when the far future comes we will be dead, but in the past we will be dead. So you can only really be alive between when you were born, and when you die. I think this also aplies if you build a time machine because you would be traveling though the years and not skipping them as you might think in Doctor Who. So, if you were born in 1999 and went back in time in 2030 to the year 1852, you would have been alive during the time between 1852 - 2230.
But I'm only 14 so I don't really know!

Well, since time travel is not possible, unless you just watch way too much SciFi channel, I would say no.
If time travel were possible (assuming that it would be invented 100s of years in the future), why is history not rife with the exploits of time travellers? The arguement that they would all be ethical and not intervene does not wash. Mistakes happen, not all people are ethical. Don't you remember Biff from back to the future?

An event can't be recorded until it happens. I get the travel back in time theory, but how could we travel FORWARD in time? And, why would we WANT to? Life is short enough as it is!

I agree with naughty boy.
(Technically, however, if you were travelling BACK in time, you would be an imprint of the future and your GGG'parents WOULD be alive; you would not be born yet. If you believe it is possible to travel back in time then you have to believe that "time" is a concept which can continue in a circular manner forever and no one would ever really be dead. Okay, so maybe I did understand you and I just wanted to say "naughty boy" in my post.)

"if we WERE to travel back in time"
think about that statement. If we arent doing that now, then how could you make the argument that we are the past and the future is already there? Besides the future is not predetermined. your theory would support that it is.

I I can't follow your line of thinking, but if you think that you're already dead that's your problem. As for me, I'm not quite there yet and I'm not volunteering to hurry the plan.
Wouldn't it be much simpler for you to just accept things as they are, and not try to make something out of nothing ?
You asked where all of this would stop. For me, it's stopping right now. I won't wish you luck because if you're already dead, it's already too late.

If you were back in time talkin with your GGGparents they wouldn't just think they were still alive they really would be alive...
Just like light is relative to perspective, so is time... Any person past, present, future is alive or dead relative to a specific point in time... So they would be alive to you since you would be sharing a point in time in which they were alive but would be dead to me since from my perspective point in time they've been long gone...

Quite possibly we are all dead, but you could also be part of my dream, in which case i really hope i wake up soon.
Perhaps i am in a coma, who is to say what is real and what isnt. Its only peoples perception, and the truth is so manipulated, that perhaps nothing is real.
