Just thought I'd share...

"On page 341 of "Presentists Should Believe in Time Travel," Keller and Nelson present what they call the bilocation problem. It is very similar to the self-visitation paradox. After presenting the bilocation problem, present the standard perdurantist resolution of the problem and then present Keller and Nelson’s preferred perdurantist resolution. Which solution is better one from a perdurantist perspective? Why?"

4/9/2008 6:54:09 PM

If I were you I'd quit bitching on TWW about all your fake girl problems and go outside to see the sun for the first time in about 3 years you douche.

4/9/2008 6:55:02 PM

4/9/2008 6:55:49 PM

what the hell crawled up your singular vaginas?

besides, there's a few of us in here that have taken (or are taking, like me) this time travel class. i for one find this prompt interesting, since I am in a different section of the same class that has an open ended final project.

4/9/2008 6:55:53 PM

I see your stupid ass is back pedaling quicker than Deion Sanders too now that your hippy ass got called the fuck out.

4/9/2008 6:56:41 PM

4/9/2008 7:01:08 PM

When did I ever say I liked art? I mean, I don't hate it but I've never expressed an unusual affinity for it either.

4/9/2008 7:01:23 PM

yep, he's a fag

4/9/2008 7:01:52 PM

Hey LardAss, wanna be Facebook friends?

4/9/2008 7:02:11 PM

Hey LardAss, wanna be Facebook friends?

4/9/2008 7:04:17 PM

no because you are a terrible human being and your dad fucks your anus and makes your mom watch as she is crying on their anniversary.

4/9/2008 7:04:50 PM

You must watch some strange porn to have an imagination that can come up with that shit.

4/9/2008 7:05:33 PM

4/9/2008 7:05:40 PM

"pretty sure i'm fucked for my time travel final project i went to a meeting with my professor to discuss an idea i'm having for my final paper. I explain it to him and he compares some similarities to an author's work that we're going to study in the next week or so. i then point out how my work would differ from his he goes "hmm, that doesn't work with [author]'s paper at all....why is that..." and starts contemplating and drawing figures in the air..."have fun!""

4/9/2008 7:16:07 PM

thats what you get for taking a BS class

4/9/2008 7:17:48 PM

Yeah, for being a fairly open-ended philosophy class, Carroll has no problems telling you if you're straight up right or wrong most of the time. And he usually leaves no room for discussion.

^ Says the guy who's been on TWW for going on 7 hours straight.

4/9/2008 7:18:14 PM

yeah, he said that my topic definitely isn't a safe topic but it could be pretty interesting. its not one where he already knows how it will go and couldn't really guide me, but liked the idea.

its related to this video

4/9/2008 7:23:59 PM

I kind of followed that video. But it seems like that only works if you assume that we aren't currently living in the only possible universe there is which isn't a provable thing at this point. That's not really something I'm about to pretend to have an understanding of though.

"On page 341 of "Presentists Should Believe in Time Travel," Keller and Nelson present what they call the bilocation problem. It is very similar to the self-visitation paradox. After presenting the bilocation problem, present the standard perdurantist resolution of the problem and then present Keller and Nelson’s preferred perdurantist resolution. Which solution is better one from a perdurantist perspective? Why?"

The bilocation problem, similar to the self-visitation paradox, addresses the time-sequencing dilemma of being in two places at the exact same time, in space. Assuming that a person has the capability to travel faster than the speed of light, that person could then travel backwards in time by traveling through what is referred to, in theory, as hyperspace. When that person is traveling backwards in time, they actually would exist in two locations at the same time, hence the bilocation problem. This problem is resolved with the perdurantists resolution.

The perduranists resolution states that by traveling through hyperspace, a person would be in the space that exists between the space/time continuum, which connects different/parallel universes together. Knowing this, the self-visitation paradox states that when a person could theoretically travel backwards in time through hyperspace and return to the exact same place in space/time to say hello to themselves, they would not only still be themselves in both universes, but they would also exist in both seperately. This is the equivalent of duplicating yourself every single time you enter another universe. This is very similar to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures the movie, where Bill and Ted travel backwards in time to meet themselves in the present. The only major difference is that with the paradox, you would continually duplicate yourself into an infinite amount of universes, infinitely.

Keller suggests that hyperspace, a part of the perdurantist resolution, explains how someone could travel from one universe to another, exist in the same place in space/time, and resolve the time-sequencing problem by simply accepting a multi-dimensional parallel universes theory. The only real distinction between Keller and Nelson’s theories are that Keller thinks hyperspace would allow for an infinite amount of parellel universes with an infinite amount of dimensions; and Nelson’s believes the universe as a whole is finite or limited by an actual measurable size. Since most scientists agree that there is a ever-expanding, but limited universe, Nelson’s theory is more widely accepted as the better solution from a perdurantist perspective.
