Musings on Time Travel

 A month my friends, a month have I spent in the service of the BVC. It seems like it was only 27 days ago riding with the Admiral through the earth. But as they say time flies, which when you think about it is a very odd term. Flying time as if time is normally under the constraints of gravity, oh well I’ll ask Einstein next time I’m wandering around the early 1900’s. Which happens to be the topic of my post today; Time Travel.

Now I don’t like to bend the likes of time to often as the more you discover in the past the more the future as well as the present you know becomes vastly different. There are many schools of thought on how time travel can change the future and the different paradoxes that will arise: the Terminator Paradox of a son sending back his father to procreate himself, or the shifting time in Back to the Future that is changed as Marty McFly tampers with his parents childhood, and of course the very complex and ever changing time logic found in Doctor Who. In my experience though it has been a combination of all of these, it all depends on the event and the people. Really it is pretty hard to explain but rest assured that the fabric of existence in intact, I think, well the important thing is don’t worry.

As such I have seen quite a bit of this world’s history and it is fantastic. I’d share some tidbits with you but I do feel a moral obligation to keep things secret left that way, however I do pop in on some friends every once and a while with lottery ticket picks and the like. Oh and the song We Didn’t Start the Fire was written by Joel and I as an attempt to shift the focus of our actions when we tried drinking our way through moments in history. So truthfully Billy Joel and I did start the fire but unintentionally on one hell of a bender. Yeah not the best choice I’ve made but Joel got a hit song out of it so not a total loss. Since then I have been much more careful when traveling in time, I don’t take shots anymore.

As I await the next term to start my teaching I’m spending some time traveling some history as a refresher. Hanging out with Caesar, although I wouldn’t recommend doing this when he’s courting Cleopatra, talk about whipped. Smoking cigars with Churchill, I’ve seen him take a drag for up to two minutes, and of course who could pass up playing guitar with Ziggy Stardust himself. No not David Bowie  I mean the real Ziggy who rocked Madison Square Garden in the classic 2080 show The Martian Invasion. Oh wait that hasn’t happened yet. Forget what I just said and go back to your 2/2 techno/rap music.
